To be honest, I don't think I am right or wrong, but I think it is common sense and logic, if a clan that is #3 has no members anymore, and they have not played for like 3 months or something, they should be removed from the Standings page, keep the points etc, keep their records and history, but why should a clan, that doesn't exist, be 3rd in the standings??
Same with f4st in the Singles, when was the last time he played, about half a year ago lol, f4st will probably come back and play some games someday, but until then, his position is a lie because he isn't active, but at least with singles, they will always exist, kind of.
