Many top clans argued that doubles is less representative of skill than quads and Bruceswar has a good example of what the win rate of a good player on each team setting is, and they are not the same in his opinion and I tend to agree with it based on numerical analysis. The actual format was not voted on, however, the call to less dubs and more quads has been ongoing since Season 1.
As for the top clans joining or not, I really hope it has nothing to do with 2 spots, plus none have come out to say that is a real problem in joining. If they want to pm me to give me some feedback on why they cannot join, then that would be great. My understanding is that such clans feel that both the league and CCup is too burdensome for their rosters and possibly their clan's goals.
I didnt know that voting 2 rep from each clan participate in making decisions. I tried to find that pools in clan forum and couldnt find anything so that s why I thought making decision is not with every clan included in. as this topic is called "Info, Q&A", I felt free to write my opinion here, as didnt find other official topic for discussion (except the one for game load, which is some time inactive). ok, so I agree now that deciding system is democratic
but other my reasons related to why some clans will not join are still unchanged.
I see time load (29 slots, 7 more than in Season 2, and that are the slots that requires much more time per player, because 1 slot in quad requires much more time per player than 1 slot in dubs game) as one reason.
also, some players are specialists for dubs games and having only 2 dubs games limits them to have fun, much more if in the clan is more teams who love to play dubs.
for example, let say a clan have 8 players who have fun in playing dubs and 8 players who have fun in playing quads. dubs players will then have chance to play only 1 game (8 slots home and away) that they like per round, and quads players will have chance to play 4 games (32 slots) that they like per round. as I think having fun is the most important part of playing (more important than winning) then players who enjoy in playing quads have 4 times more chance to have fun than the ones who enjoy in playing dubs. with 3-3-3 format that difference would become lower. so, limited chance of having fun for the players who like to play dubs games may be the other reason.

so with written above I wanted to show: if winning is more important than having fun then 4-3-2 format is better because win a quad is much harder then win dubs game.
if having fun is more important than winning then 3-3-3 would be better because allows more equal number of slots to players who like dubs than to ones who like quads.
all that is only my opinion which may be wrong (like every other person's opinion), and the best would be if clans who not participate say their reasons for that, so JPC would then have more chances to improve clan competitions with that feedbacks.
anyway, kort is now officially in, so I am looking forward to have great fun in Season 3
