However, in Champs1 it does impact the other groups of 8 who didn't get the advantage of an easy 45 stars. When comparing the top clans of all of the Champs1 groups of 8, it matters when some of them get an easy 45 stars.
I agree with you in response to the particular post which referenced all max th13s. There is no valid reason at all to limit C1 to all max th13s. In fact, there are likely many clans in C1 right now that aren't truly fully maxed. However, there are valid reasons to not let a clan in C1 compete with a th8s. It negatively impacts the competition as noted in my post above (unlike at other CWL league levels).
I'm not sure how it would be enforced, though. I do like the idea from Onyx that a clan without 15 th13s (would get put into C2 rather than C1). That would stop some of this, but a clan with 15 th13s could still put in a bunch of lower halls if their intent was to mess with the system. Maybe that isn't usually the intent.
