However, upon continuing, any negotiations will be done by your allocated member of staff unless we're in a designated transfer window. TIP: Use the pre-game time to organise your club, identify players & staff, set staff responsibilities etc... This is really important for those 'holiday' periods.

* You’ll need Discord for chatting and messaging during gameplay. You must be in comms at all times.

* Lateness - if you are going to be late to a session, please be courteous and give as much notice as possible.

* Only participants in UK and Northern Ireland qualify for prizes (such as trophies).

JOINING THE NETWORK GAME

* Should a new member join the clan and then leave, that team may be LOCKED to new people that wish to join. It will be available for existing human/AI managers to apply.

* New managers must join a team in the initial starting league.

* Time may be enforced by an admin. Where possible we would ask to ‘holiday’ between games to speed up the season.

* Make sure you have all your settings correct and try to set everything up to optimize the speed of your game and system.

* Match days will be set to Wednesday & Saturdays to speed processing times.

UNEMPLOYMENT

* If you lose your job (in the game of course) for the FIRST TIME you can retire your profile and go back to team that sacked you if you want. OR... remain unemployed and apply for available jobs. Relegated managers can start over with a new team in the Eredivisie.

* Upon a third (or more) manager profile being created, you must start with a team in the Dutch Eredivisie.

* A maximum of 2 teams can be managed by one person in any game season.

* If you have applied for a new job while unemployed you may return from holiday but continue quickly - other managers must remain on holiday. However, if you are employed and have applied for a new job, you must still holiday.  If you have been appointed manager at a new club this will force a 'timeout' of 10 mins in order for you to sort staff, responsibilities, training and tactics.

SIGNING PLAYERS & STAFF
