On the betaworld we are now testing to let players without manager or whose manager is on holiday join in practise tournaments.

We made a change on the beta world in the way the team competition works.

The junior team competition no longer has levels with playoffs but is divided into age categories. The best 20 countries in that age category participate.

The current ranking of countries per age category was added on the ranking page (under countries).

The age criterium for the u-16 and u-15 competition is that a player must be 16 (or 15) or younger in the week of the finals (week 30).

The senior team competition will have 4 levels instead of 5, but the 4th level will consist of countries with the best players which aren't already participating in a higher group. This way all countries have a chance to enter the competition.

The beta gameworld will start tomorrow (sunday) or 10:00 am UTC.

Please see the previous newsmessage to see what the beta world will be used for.

We will soon start a beta-gameworld.

This will be very similar to an ordinary (fast) gameworld, except that new changes will be tested here first. In this gameworld bugs are more likely to occur and will not be compensated and large game-altering changes can be introduced here with little or no warning.

Changes that we are considering for the next few months include (but aren't limited to):

• A new system for the JTC in different age-groups where the participating countries depend not on playoffs but on ranking of players.


• More staff types: physio to train endurance, strength and speed and mental coach to train mentality and home advantage


• Fatigue penalty for traveling long-distance

Players that lost experience points on the previous update (and where I wasn't able to recover the xp) should now be compensated with 1000 player credits to make a new player.

This was done based on a list that was made a few hours after the update, it is possible that it was not complete. If you lost a player this way but didn't receive credits, please let me know.
