I am sorry that you feel this way, Susan. In the Clans Battle, before the Competition is announced, all Clans within their Leagues are divided into pairs according to their Influence.
Pairing also depends on the level of activity of the previous Competition participants. This level is defined by the number of checkpoints reached. In the end, there are 4 groups for selecting a pair:
1. Clans that didn't earn points or earned few points and didn't even reach checkpoint 1.
2. Clans that passed checkpoint 1 but didn't reach 2.
3. Clans that stopped between checkpoints 2 and 5.
4. Clans that passed checkpoint 5.
If you have any suggestions on how to improve this functionality, I will be happy to forward them to the developers😇
