Don't forget that there - hopefully - must be one active member to click his CC into a Clash! (Though I wonder why anybody should perform the click and then omit to play at least one game immediately)
Edgey54321: The other problem with inactive clubs is if you dont see them at the start of the game, as inactive then you use up valuable passes beating nobody.
Not a problem IMHO because the CC-vs-CC aspect is secondary. At the end of the day all that matters is the points that you make, it only matters a tiny little if you win or lose.
In numbers: 12 clashes can be played, times 600 = 7,200 points - a lot less than the distance between first and second.
And, when it comes to the prices, none of them is worth any effort, including the Golden Calf.
