Hi all,

Does anyone happen to have (or know of) a database file for Albania - Kategoria Superiore that already implements the new official format approved by FSHF for the 2026/27 season?

Official source (FSHF decision, late June 2026):
https://gazeta-shqip.com/sport/komiteti-ekzekutiv-i-fshf-se-miraton-ndryshimin-e-formatit-te-superiores-zhduket-final-four-ndryshon-edhe-kategoria-e-pare/

For anyone unfamiliar, the new format (10 teams) works like this:

  1. Regular season: each team plays the others 3 times = 27 matchdays
  2. League splits into two groups based on standings, points halved before the split
  3. Championship Group: top 6 teams, play each other twice = 10 matchdays. Winner = champion, standings also determine European spots
  4. Relegation Group: bottom 4 teams, play each other 3 times = 9 matchdays
  5. Two bottom place teams relegates directly
  6. 8th place plays a two-legged play-off against the winner of a promotion mini-tournament from Kategoria e Parë (3rd-6th place teams there)

I'd probably apply it starting from the 2025/26 season for simplicity (works with the default squads without needing an updated database).

Just wondering if this has already been done by someone before I try tackling it myself in the editor - it looks like a fairly involved Advanced Rules setup (split with halved points + linked inter-division play-off). If not, no worries, I'll give it a go and maybe share it once it works!

Thanks!
