The point system (football style) is way better than the garbage in use now. Just introduce deadlines and walkovers and it's perfectly fine to use!
Getting points for losing is a terrible system.
Scheduling and Deadlines will not work because we have Strat to worry about, which can completely screw over a clan if they get attacked (or want to attack someone) when a deadline is looming. The whole point of this is that clans can schedule matches in an amicable and flexible manner to suit themselves. Also deadlines add to the workload of the admins and I can tell you now that the only reason this league ran and finished at all was because it was so little work.
If anything I want to try and make the league even more flexible next season not make it more rigid or serious. For this reason rosters are definitely something that will be looked at as they make things awkward for clans.
As for the points - what exactly makes 1 point for a loss "a terrible system"? If you are going to throw around opinions like they are facts then at least have the courtesy to back them up with a reason.
In my opinion 1 point for a loss is only "terrible" for clans that don't fight all their matches, but that's their fault not the other clans' fault. Its not better than normal football points but it does give an incentive for actually playing matches which mean Captains have more responsibility and admins have less. Even Fips managed to organise matches so i'd say it worked pretty well.
The only suggested change to points I would consider so far is one where
Total_Points = 2*Rounds_Won + Rounds_Lost. Or possibly
3*Rounds_Won + Rounds_Lost. That gives more of an incentive for teams to fight for every single round, whilst keeping the incentive for fighting in the first place. A further incentive for the teams at the bottom to play each other would still be needed though as that was lacking.
