Participating in the championship

The championship is a long-term competition for experienced players. For participating in the championship your team must be at least level 4.

The championship is divided into several leagues and divisions (i.e. League 2, Division 2-A). The goal should be to step up to the first league. The two best teams in each second league’s groups will be marked for participating in following season’s first division. It works in the same way in the third, fourth, and all other leagues.
The two worst players in each group will step down into the following season’s lower leagues.

If more players want to participate in the championship as seats are available (each division requires 256 players), the selection will be done in order of experience points to the time of registration.
League groups are formed with 16 teams. The games in each group are played in certain times, which can be selected in the application phase (after creation of groups this time can be different of your selected time).
Your application can be sent or canceled until the championship starts.


Championship games

The championship will take several weeks to be completed. Each group has to play 30 games. In addition, the Cup matches (Champions League and Champions Cup) will take place. You can check your schedule by opening the menu championships. Group matches are marked with an image of a football field, cup matches with a trophy. (Note: In certain circumstances it may happen that cup games are covered by group games. We try to avoid this with an appropriate selection of match dates. Starting with the 4th championship season, it should not be a problem anymore).


Preparation for a championship game

Schemes for league and cup matches can be submitted in advance. The games will automatically take place at the estimated time. If you should ever forget to submit your lineup for a game, the system will create a scheme automatically.

Important Note: The system will always use the current values of morality, injury and stamina for the game calculation. For example, if you submit your scheme a few days before the game is played, the system will not use the values you sent, but the current values at the time, when the game is played. So you should be aware that your players are as fresh as possible when it comes to a championship game.


League standings

After each game the standings of your group will be updated. The standing’s ranks are first sorted by the number of each team’s points. If there are two or more teams with the same number of points, the goal difference will be used to sort the standings. If the goal difference is equal too, the team with more goals scored will be sorted first.


Rewards

At the end of the season, cash rewards will be received by all participants in the Regular Championship, depending on the points they score.

Prize money is calculated according to the following formula:

Prize money = (Number of points scored) * (Constant for the current division)

 Constant for the current division:

 - First Division: 30,000 per point

 - Second Division: 20,000 per point

 - Third Division: 10,000 per point

 - Fourth division: 5,000 per point

 Example:

 The prize money for the manager of the 2nd division with 36 points will be 720,000 VEU.

 36 * 20,000 = 720,000

 Star points are awarded depending on the points scored, by analogy with cash prizes.

 Only on 1st Division

•  1-5 places - 4 star points per point
•  6-10 places - 2 star points per point
•  11-16 places - 1 star point per point

 In addition, the Champion retains a place in the first division for the next season and is entitled to play in the Champions League with the runner-up team.

 For all players, regardless of the position taken, the achievement is recorded in the profile.

Preparation for next season

Selection by divisions depends on the level of experience of the participants, taking into account the rules of transition: those who take places from 1st to 4th in their groups in the First Division are guaranteed to remain for the next season if they apply for participation, winners and runners-up in their groups of the Second Division receive the right to enter the First Division, those who take 3rd and 4th places remain in the Second, similarly, in the Third Division, first and second place in the group allows you to move to the Second Division, and third and fourth place - to remain in the Third, the same procedure applies to transfers between divisions at levels below the third: - the first two places guarantee promotion to a higher level, the third and fourth places allow you to maintain a place in the same division for the next season, - all other applicants are selected for vacant positions through a selection procedure based on the participant’s experience, in which a higher level of experience has an advantage.

*Note. It follows from the selection rules that if one of the participants with a guaranteed place does not apply, then the vacant place in any division will be filled by the application of the participant with the highest level, even if the applicant did not participate in the previous season.
