Bloims Champions League

The **Bloims Champions League** know as the **Champions League** or **CL** is the Elite international competition in the Bloims football league system. The Champions League has existed in varying forms since the founding of the **BPL** and was previously known as **The Super League**.

The Champions League is only contested by the BPL's top managers and as such enjoys a prestige not seen in other competitions. Participation in the CL is seen by most as a key indicator of a manager's success and a key requirement of being a "big club".

### Current Season & Table

#### Qualification

Four managers qualified for the 2020-21 Champions League through their league position. The holder (Aggarwal) and the reigning BPL Champion (Moss) had already achieved a place in the competition.

Qualification was decided at the end of GW18 with Alka, Marway, Jaspal and Moss continuing to occupy the top 4 positions in the BPL as they had leading into the gameweek. The blank GW18 was expected by many to produce points a plenty, but it was mostly hotdogs enjoyed by the BPL managers, and those who had used their FreeHit in an attempt to clinch Champions League qualification were left red faced as very little moved on the league table. As Moss had already qualified for the CL, the fifth placed manager Docker was awarded the final spot.

#### Group Stage

Each side will play each other **once.** The fixtures are decided by points total after deductions for transfers. Chips are allowed.

### Qualification Process

**Qualification for the Bloims Champions League (CL) may be achieved through three routes.**

**Route A: Winner of the previous season’s CL.**

​**Route B:  Winner of the previous season’s Bloims Premier League (BPL).**​

**Route C:  The four managers occupying the top four places in the BPL at the end of Gameweek 18 will qualify for the current season’s CL. (In the event of the Route B qualifier also qualifying through Route C then the manager occupying 5th in the BPL at the end of Gameweek 18 would qualify for the current season’s CL.) "**
