Basically as you level up it's fun to compete in events. Once you hit 1bil influ, you will forever be in last place since you are up against clans and players 500x your size.
i totally agree with what Paul is saying, the leagues just dont work now as players are learning to sit and wait for mega packs and develop their cities a lot faster, the leagues need to be changed or the number of leagues increased to take into account how players now play the game, when this game was first developed doing some of the huge upgrades that were supposed to take say 156 weeks can now be done in 5 minutes, using hero gear, knowledge, building and knowledge speed ups and then on top of that the boosts and the clan helps, not to mention skipping all that by using gold, players are growing a lot faster and the leagues need to start reflecting this change, taking your city to lvl 26 is something that you should really avoid doing until the last minute as your automatically put in odin league for every event, and if your only 1 billion influ like me that throws you into a league where you just cant compete and are destined to a life of event misery where checkpoint targets are way past what you are capable of scoring without throwing loads of money at the game and if this is left as it is i believe players will loose interest and the game will eventually fizzle out,
This is a great game and from my time playing this one takes some beating but as the players learn and change how they play, the game needs to move with them and in my opinion this means the league set up really needs to change, gamers can be very fickle i admit im one of them as long as im happy i will continue but there are plenty of games out there keep my interest i stay loyal to a game.
Dear Jarls,
The distribution across Leagues depends on the Competition type. The selection in Personal Competitions is determined by the level of the player's Town and in the case of Clan and Global ones - by the Clan’s Influence.
Also according to the game rules Jarls are divided into smaller groups within one League in a Competition. Due to this the chances of winning become higher. Please bear in mind that the rewards in all groups within one League are the same.
If you have any additional suggestions, we will be happy to hear. Wish you glorious victories!
Clan leagues I agree (and I have written about this) need to change ... for the top league to include all clans 15B or above is just a joke ... these days 15B is a pretty low amount of influence for a clan and to be included in the top league is just crazy.
Hello Jarls! 
We appreciate your commitment to the game and your feedback. We will forward your suggestion to our developers and they will definitely consider. Have a good day!
I "liked" it :D
At a quick glance, it's better than what is in place now... A new ranking system should definitely be looked at and considered by the development team.
what we think here im guessing doesnt really make any difference WE know they need adjusting but it is probably done like this for a reason and thats to make us buy more packs to spend more gold.
the way we play the game has changed big style trouble is plarium dont keep up and change things that no longer work as they were designed to when the game was first developed.
if plarium dont change as their players do more people will just quit and that would be a real shame i wouldnt want to see this game die
About the levels.
As there is a big jump in the amount of gold you get when hitting 10, the ability to finish all of them is especially desireable.
A player ought to be able to easily complete at least the first level, preferably more,without needing to spend any money to do so.
More doable levels would encourage players to continue , rather than giving up at the first hurdle.
Whether it exists or not,the so called "grouping of players" of comparable achievements within ranks,would not seem to offer much in the way of assistance.
From my experience in the League of Rookies, my towns of the same palace level or less,but of very varying influence,seem to be in the same group.
I do not have enough experience within the higher leagues to comment on, if and what, might happen there.
This why the leagues and the competitions stink....
The fighting invaders has just finished, and out of the top 10 players in the League of Rookies, only 3 of them have palace 5 the rest way above this.
Many have palaces in the high teens ,several in the 20s and one as high as 23.
A number of them are zooming around the forest at break neck speed killing ubers..
Yes I appreciate, as has been mentioned elsewhere previously, that they could have boosted after the competition started.
But it takes a lot of boosting to get to 23 in 2 days.
TODAY 3RD SEPT..
The jarl currently at the top pf the leader board in the League of Rookies Invader Hunt competition has
PALACE 23.
HER0 49 with 1 unusual and 1 legendary Falcon figurine
SHAMAN Baggi 2nd stage
16.5 million influence
Total time in game 21.5 hrs
TROOPS (trained) 10
RESOURCES ( town) 11.5 million
CONVEYS(sent) 574
Everthing else 0
does the members you merged with have some high lvl towns ? i feel like inf is not the only thing that is calculated for the leagues but the towns lvl also countwell , it seem that something have changed in the ligue system, it is worse...
When cvc was annouced, clan was 6 bil influence... league conqueror for cvc...
day before cvc, merging with a other french clan before clan... resource yielding was not yet annouced, total influence 12.2 billion ... league of master now... it is normal
upcoming clan event, lust of power... yet 12.2 billion but we are now in the ligue of odin
seen that plarium have change the clan league system the other way that what was requested... odin have passed from 15 bil to something below 12.2 ... there was a update monday, it is maybe then that they have mess up
EDIT : for the upcoming kvk, we are yet league of master who is normal... only the clan lust for power event put us in the wrong league, way above our level
Unsurprising if you only just started playing.
Apt that this has been bumped.
I was going to search for the thread to post on it.
Apparantly something has changed, dont know if was done recently,or a while ago,but only noticed myself yesterday.
The number of winning places in the competitions appears to have been reduced.. so less chance of picking up gold
To dismiss troops,
click shrine of odin
click in the town
click troops
The rest should be easy,
Alternatively, attack someone, or a clan member( temporarily left) to attack you, that way you get points and the option to heal or resurrect them, assuming you have enough infirmary space..
The troops eating food is only a problem if you have no food for upgrades.
There are ways round this ,and to increase your food production, of course you might already be maxed out.
You are right about the leagues, and how demoralising it can be,not to be able to hit check points.
The big clans use all kind of tactics to make life easier for them, one of which is poaching the better players from other clans, though it might,its not really to help those they recruit, as they suggest, its self interest .
I do not think you will find the stats that you are seeking, its all guesswork ,and not official.
You just might find its to your advantage to split your clan.

I have noticed in the past that different clan events sometimes have your clan in different leagues (the league requirements are not consistent through all the different types of clan events).
well, all upcoming clan event are master, everything except clan event lust of power seem to be master at 12.2 bil... maybe a old bug as you say but i have only notice it now with our migration to a other kingdom and merging...
we was way above 15 bil before but for reduce the insane amount of drakar needed 2 big city have must dismess all their troop... i have 5 cities lvl 27... 4 with 500 mil influence and 1 drakar was needed... my main was lvl 27 but with 3 bil influence and 72 drakar needed... have drop influence to 1.3 bil by dismissing my 25 million troop... drakar needed have drop to 32... now, that migration is done, i rebuild my army and soon clan will be again over 15 bil, so it is not really a issue for us... but it can be for smaller clan who end up in odin league for these difficult event
