So you have a team - now what? First of all, click on everything you can, get comfortable with the design and see what you have got. Notice, that in the top right corner there is a ?! button. There you can get a lot of useful advice, and answers to frequently asked questions.

Now - these are the steps you should follow after getting a new team:

1. Go to "Finances"->"Sponsors" -> "Offers".

Every day (while there is free space of advertisement) you will get offers from sponsors. You can decide to accept an offer or wait for better one. Next day not accepted offers will be deleted and new ones will be offered instead. It is your choice - when and what offer to accept. However, it is recommended to sell all advertising space until Sunday (when sponsors pay money for clubs).

2. Players - see what you have got. Pay attention to skills that they are good at and keep that in mind. Strength rate (RT) is a good way to compare players. Strength rate is evaluation of all player's skills. The bigger RT, the better the player is.

3. League -> press on "Team" -> "Rosters" (or "Trades", under the name of the team - you will be able to see the salaries here). See what your opponents have - that is, if your players are good in comparison with them, or only average.

4. Tactics - try to create a tactic for your players for the next match. There is no best tactics - it is more of a try and fail process.

5. Finances - look at your finances. Maybe you need to trade your very expensive players with cheaper ones, or maybe you need to buy some new players, or trade them. Read the finance help section - there you will find how to plan and use your budget.

6. Trades - there are a few ways to get better players. The main one is to buy them in the market. However you will probably spend a week until you get a new player. Therefore you can try and trade your leader for two good players, or by looking at all the teams, try and trade a player that is totally unnecessary for your team (with a cheap contract) to a better and more expensive player, who would be useful for your team (e.g. the unnecessary player is always sitting on a bench and never plays, and he gets paid for it).

However you need to be careful. You should rather ask others if the person trading his player is not trying to cheat you. When you get an offer of trade, do not reject it straight away - see if the trade is useful for you:

A) You might save some money

B) Your team might get stronger

7. Market - the players that will soon choose a new team are displayed. However, do not make decisions too fast, so that you do not need to fire players from the team. You might be able to win with the players that you have already - or you might let yourself loose 2-3 matches, and then get a good player.

Sort the players by the RT (strength rating - what value the player has for a team). Do not pay too much attention to position the player is written to play in, because you can change that. Look at the RT, Height, and a little to the previous Statistics of the player. Still the most important factor is the RT. Choose the players that you like, and offer them some money. Firstly, we would recommend buying players that do not interest others very much, so they would not want a lot of money. The price of the players with a lot of interest (from other clubs) is usually big because of the competition to hire him. Therefore usually (mostly in the beginning) it is better to buy a couple of average players for a low salary than 1 really good for a huge salary.

8. Help - if you have any questions how to do one thing or the other, you should use help. Notice that in the top right corner of mostly every page there is an icon (?!). Click on it will display a lot of useful information about the page ant available actions in it ((quick help)). If you did not find the answer in quick help and in help, you can consult a teacher (can be received in the main page after login). If you could not find answers anywhere, you can ask for help in federation's press conferences.

The peak of basketball - the match - takes place in arena. If appropriate arena is used, a club may get additional income or create atmosphere that will scare opponents.

Every club owns a small arena (which is also a court for training). As this owned arena is not big, most of the clubs have to rent additional arena/arenas that will be used for playing league matches. Club can have few contracts with arenas at the same time. Arena's size and features influence income from match and home advantage. Of course, arena's size and features also influence the price of rent.

Types of spectators:

• fan - comes to the match whenever it is possible. They do not care about the features of arena. The number of such spectators is not big. It depends on team's fan club and the league of the match.
• common - supporters of the team that tend to visit matches if conditions are good. The number of common spectators depends on the image of the club and the compatibility of arena.
• casual - visits the match few times in the season. The number of such visitors depends on the strength of the teams and arena's comfort.

Features of arenas:

• Compatibility - with club's colours, dislocation. It influences the number of common spectators.
• Comfort - how comfortable arena is for spectators (chairs, screens). Has big influence on the number of casual visitors.

Good atmosphere in the match brings bigger home advantage. Sometimes it may become the key  to victory. Atmosphere in the match depends on:

• how full the arena is (the less free seats, the better atmosphere)
• number of spectators (the more spectators, the better atmosphere)
• number of fans and common spectators. Casual spectators are quite passive during the match, therefore they have almost no impact on the atmosphere of the match.
• type of tickets for the match. Atmosphere is lower with expensive tickets and higher with cheap tickets.

Rent of arena

Arena may be rented at any time of the season and it can be used for playing match just after signing the contract.

When renting arena, the following parameters have to be indicated:

• Arena's features - compatibility and comfort. Depending on the type of spectators that tend to visit club's matches most (common or casual), it may be worth to invest in one or the other feature.
• Number of seats - what size arena is needed. Interest in matches (displayed in the schedule) may help to make the decision. It shows how many spectators would come to the match if it is played in arena of average features (value 7) and with average price tickets.
• Minimum number of matches - how many matches will be surely played in this arena till the end of the season. The more matches are planned to be played, the cheaper is price for one match. Though if too big number of matches is agreed, in the end of the season the club will have to pay fine for matches not played (fine = no. of matches not played * price of one match). Therefore, manager has to make the decision carefully, considering the number of matches that can be played in arena of this size (most clubs will probably rent few arenas of different sizes).

Contracts with rented arenas are automatically cancelled in the end of the season. If club hasn't played the agreed number of matches, it has to pay the remaining sum (no. of matches not played * price of one match).

Contract with arena may be cancelled manually during the season (in club's arenas page). If club wants to cancel contract and hasn't played agreed minimum number of matches in that arena, it has to pay a fine. If no match has been played in the arena, fine is quite small. The more matches have been played in the arena, the bigger is the fine for cancelling contract.

Contracts with arenas can be signed for the next season in advance. In the last week of the season, arena can be rented for the upcoming season (additional option in the page of renting arena).


Setting arena for the match

Different settings can be set for each league - arena and type of tickets. These settings can also be set for particular match in the page of schedule (PREMIUM users can make individual settings for any match in the schedule, other users - for the nearest matches).

If it is necessary, club can adjust the number of spectators by increasing or decreasing the price of the tickets:

• Cheap tickets - common spectators will not miss a chance to visit the match. It will increase the atmosphere of the match but won't be useful financially.
• Expensive tickets - some part of common spectators will not come, therefore the atmosphere of the match will be worse. However, such strategy of tickets is most useful financially.

Note. Even if the number of spectators is the same, either better match atmosphere or bigger income may be received. For example: Interest in the match is 7000 but arena has only 5000 seats. It is very likely that there will be 5000 spectators using either type of tickets (cheap or expensive). However, if cheap tickets are used (more common spectators), match atmosphere will be better. If expensive tickets are used, there will be more casual spectators that do not create such a good atmosphere.

Users who have "Paper" or higher rank can establish basketball school. Establishing basketball school requires one time fee of 1000 Eu.

The list of basketball school talents is given in page Players - Basketball school. Clubs that don't have their basketball school can establish it there. At first it is minor afterschool programme that can raise 1 talent. When the number of talents in school is maximum, club can enhance the type of school. When the number of talents in school is under the limit of lower school type, it can be reduced (a fee is applied).

Maintaining a basketball school requires weekly fee (size depends on the type of school) but no salaries are paid for basketball school's talents.

Scouts find talents for basketball school. If talent's age is appropriate for school, he can be invited to basketball school. Once a day every manager can send scouts to look for talents. It can be done for free or some financing can be appointed (the bigger financing, the bigger chances to find better talent).

Talents of 14-18 years old can be trained in basketball school. From 16 years old talents can be hired to the main team. If 18 year-old-talent is not hired, in the end of the season he leaves school and ends basketball player's career.


Types of basketball schools
 

Name	Weekly fee	Fee for reducing type	Max number of talents
Minor afterschool program	0 Eu	-	1
Intense afterschool program	500 Eu	500 Eu	3
Small basketball school	1000 Eu	500 Eu	5
Average basketball school	5000 Eu	4000 Eu	10
Big basketball school	10000 Eu	5000 Eu	15
Academy of basketball	20000 Eu	10000 Eu	30

Training

Training takes place everyday and reports are given together with other players' training reports. Talents in basketball school are trained just like all other players - club's manager can indicate which skills to improve.
Experience of basketball school talents increases a little everyday.


Franchise player

Newly registered teams get their franchise players (high potential talents that can become the highest level players). However, after some time these players get old and end their career. Therefore when the current franchise player is 32 year-old or more and minimum 15 seasons have passed after selection of the previous franchise player club can choose one talent and select him as franchise. This is only available for clubs that play longer than 15 seasons. New franchise player can be selected only from talents currently playing in basketball school.
If a club still has the old franchise player, he becomes a regular player after selecting the new one.

When franchise player is selected, his potential becomes maximum. If talent's potential in basketball school at first is lower, after setting him as franchise player, his potential immediately reaches maximum.

Franchise player is not available for trades and doesn't go to limited players' market. If franchise player’s contract is not prolonged (or player is fired), he ends his career.

Probably the most important and the most difficult task is to create a strong and well balanced team. The team consists of coaches and players:

Coaches - their functions are to help during the match and when training players.

Players - everybody knows who the players are and what their functions in the team are. Manager's task is to create a well balanced and harmonised team, and there are many ways of doing so. You can "raise" young players, hire the ones that do not have a club and/or trade them with other clubs.

記錄已更新: 2024-03-15 10:58

Coaches are an important part of personnel. Their guidance is important during matches and they take part in players' training.

• Each team has one head coach, who guides the team in the match, is responsible for substitutions, strategy and etc.
• Team can have 3 assistant coaches who help during the matches. If one or few assistant coaches have better knowledge than the head coach in a certain area, they can help evaluate the situations a little better during the match (in these areas). Coaches' influence during match is mainly determined by the skills of head coach. Other coaches can increase head coach's competence only a bit.
• All the other coaches are player development coaches.

All team's coaches take part in players' training and each skill improves according to the knowledge of the coach that is best in that particular area.

It is not important how many coaches there are in a team, unless they complement each other. For example, one coach is a better expert in offensive play, while the other - in defensive. 

Coaches may be purchased in two ways: in the market or found by the scout. When the contract with the coach ends, he goes to limited coaches' market. Here all clubs can give offers but coach's current club can outweigh the best offer. Coaches that were found by scouts always want to extend the contract.

Coaches can be fired only in the beginning of the season, when free coaches' market is open.

Coaches' skills can be improved. In training settings, manager can choose a certain skill or group of skills to be improved. Report gives information about the improvement of skills.

Coaches have 8 different skills. Each of them is rated in the range 1-12. According to these skills and experience, coach's strength rate (RT) is determined. It is a good way to compare coaches by their RT. However, when purchasing a coach, one should pay attention to the rate of each skill - some of the skills may be more important to you (for example, head coach needs good tactical skills and training skills are more important to just coaches).

Each coach has a certain potential that does not change. Potential has impact on the speed of skills' improving.

Training skills – they are useful when exercising players. The better skills the coach has, the faster corresponding skills improve for the players. Training skills:

• Athletic skill;
• Accuracy;
• Offence;
• Defense.

Tactical skills – they are useful when guiding the match. Tactical skills:

• Strategy - coach's knowledge in creating the strategy for the match;
• Defense - influences the results of team defense;
• Offence - influences the results of team offence;
• Psychology - coaches with good psychology skill will be better at inspiring players to fight at the end of the match or when the team is behind the opponents. The team with better coaches in psychology skill, has a little advantage in the end of the match and a little more chances to struggle when the team is losing.

Experience - high coach's experience give a bonus during the whole match, especially in the most important moments - for example, in the end of the match. The growth of coach's experience depends on his position in the team and the division of the international tournament, where his team is playing in. Experience grows only for the head coaches (most) and their assistants.

Due to various reasons sometimes club needs to dismiss players or coaches. The dismissing process is completely identical for players and coaches.

Usually personnel members are released in order to save money or because the player/coach does not fulfill the expectations.

There are two ways of dismissal: in the player/coach finance window (by clicking on the number - it indicates the compensation that will be paid for the released - in Release column), or from a certain player/coach window.

Nevertheless, you have to remember that dismissals also have a bad influence for your club. First of all, you will feel it financially, as you will have to pay the compensation indicated in Player (Coach) - Finances page. Usually, it is 10% of all the sum left to pay during the contract (but not less than his weekly salary!).

If you overuse firing, personnel's opinion and your club's image can decrease.

Players and coaches can be fired only during the regular season.

Players

End of player's contract:

1. Extend the contract in advance. Denominative player (the best young player that was received at the moment of creating the team) and players brought to club by scouts always want to extend their contracts. Players from scouts want to prolong contracts for average salary of similar players (also depends on contract length) and denominative player - for smaller than average salary. 
   Once in two seasons a club can choose one player/coach to extend contract with (contract conditions are chosen by the player). Younger than 31 years old player will never want to extend contract for smaller salary.
   Extending contracts in advance is available till the end of free market. Only denominative player's contract can be extended until the evening of the last season day.
   As soon as the contract is extended, the new salary is paid.
   In one season maximum 3 contracts can be extended in advance - including players and coaches.
   Players whose contracts are not extended act the same as all other players - go to free or limited players' market.
    
2. Free players' market. Player may decide to become a free player only if his opinion about the club is bad or very bad. In the end of the season (when the contract ends), the player leaves the club and becomes a free agent (when he comes to the free players' market, any club can offer contract to him).
    
3. Limited players' market. Most of players choose to become limited players and determine which day they will make final decision about the new contract for the next season. Until the day of decision, all the clubs can send offers for the players. On the last day, only the player's current club can give the offer to the player. The player informs the current club about the minimum salary that he could prolong contract for (salary depends on the offers received from other clubs). Limited players come to the new teams at the end of the season, after the end of limited players' market (on the 63rd day of the season).

The players are one of the most important components of this game. You do not only have to worry how to get them, but also how to keep them and train them.

There are many functions that are related to the players. You can hire them, get them from the scouts, or trade them with other clubs. If needed, you can fire the player, or if the player wishes - you can prolong contract with him.
 

Strength rate (RT) shows how good the player is. RT evaluates all player's skills in one number. However player's skills (you can find concrete skills in player's page) is not all that matters - his potential is also important; it shows the player's capability of improving. Player's height, age and shape are also important. Shape can be observed in Training page. Player feels best when his shape is Excellent. All players are individual and one player can feel excellent while the other can be tired on the same conditions (playing time during the match).


Each player/coach has his minimum required salary (displayed in player's/coach's description page). If no club offers equal or bigger salary, player/coach ends his career (old stars will rather end career than play for minor salary; young players also have minimum limit that can keep them playing basketball).
 

Every player has his own opinion about the team that he is currently playing in (you can find his opinion in Player's description page). Player's opinion is influenced by a few factors: if he gets enough playing time in court, if his shape tends to be Excellent, if the team invests into personnel's sector (i.e. takes care of other players' amenities). At the end of player's contract with the team, his opinion has impact on making decision about his future - whether to stay in the current club, to become a limited agent or leave the club at all (read more about this decision in section "Prolonging contract").
 

After the match you can study your players' performance (Match information), after the trainings - results of training (Training report). By observing your players, you can draw conclusions and "get rid of" the ones that do not fit in the team, as well as look for new players to strengthen your team.
 

Every day players can get injured (medics inform about it at 21:00 (GMT +2)) and depending on the seriousness of the injury, that player will not be able to play in matches for a particular number of days. Another player will have to be sent to the court instead of him, therefore club should always have some backup plan (for example, some players in reserve).
The lower is player's health, the bigger is the probability to receive injury. Player may not be injured if he doesn't play in that day's match.

 

History and statistics of every player is gathered. Therefore you can track every player's statistics, which clubs he has played in before and what were his results.

You have a young and prospective player but can't give him much playing time in your team? You have a long contract with him but he will start being really useful for your team only after a few seasons? If this sounds familiar, you can lend your young player to the other team, where his skills will improve faster (he will get more playing time) and which will pay a part of players salary.

If the player fits lending limits (see below), the owner can lend him from player's description page. Click on Lend link and the player will be put into the list of players for borrowing (Market->Lending section). The list of teams that want to borrow the player will be displayed in player's description page. The owner will be able to choose a team (where the player will improve best, in his opinion) and lend his player to it. 

When choosing a club to lend the player to, pay attention:

• Player improves best when he plays against strong opponents (the higher division the borrower plays in, the stronger opponents he has).
• The coaches of the borrower team will train your player (the better training skills, the faster your player will improve).
• Reputation of borrower team is important. When the loaned player returns, owner team can leave feedback about the borrower. You may find interesting information there.

The owner can see this information of the lent player: training settings and reports, skills, statistics.

Market->Lending section displays the lists of players available for borrowing and lent players. When a team clicks on Borrow button, the request is sent to the owner of the player. The owner can see the list of candidates and decide which club to lend a player to. The borrower is sent a message, informing whether the player was lent to him or to the other club.

Lending limits:

• players are lent for one season;
• player’s salary is shared in this proportions between clubs: owner pays 30% of the salary, borrower – 70%;
• players can be lent only on the first cycle of the regular season (till 18th day of the season);
• only young players can be lent (age <= 25);
• club can lend max 5 players and borrow – max 1 player;
• player can be borrowed only from the club playing in the upper division of international tournament;
• player can not be borrowed from/lent to the club, playing from the same computer/IP;
• player’s salary can not exceed club’s weekly income from the sponsors;
• when lending player, owner can indicate the lowest international league's division that player will be lent to. Clubs in lower divisions can not send borrowing requests.
• franchise player, that was got after registration (possibly with your name), can not be lent;
• players are returned to the owner in the end of the season – together with limited players’ transition. Sometimes the lent player can be returned earlier - if the club (that borrowed the player) went bankrupt or the club was eliminated (due to inactivity, punishment...)
• the owner can recall his lent player if he gets very little playing time (if the player played less than 40 minutes in the last 4 days).

Players’ owners can write feedback about borrowing teams - if they fulfilled their promises and followed agreements. Feedback can be written in club’s borrowing history page (link in club's description page). Feedback can be written only when player is already back in the owner team. If club has negative borrowing feedbacks, it is more difficult to borrow players.

* Players with contract length of 1 season can also be lent. The owner will be able to select lent player for prolonging the contract or resign contract in limited players' market.

When players decide to retire, they can be requalified to coaches. After requalification, a new coach appears in the game and the player is retired. The new coach is automatically analyzed and his analysis information stays for the club.

Players that can be requalified:

• is going to retire or has retired in the past 3 seasons
• >=28 years old
• is in your team or is in free players' market and doesn't have offers yet

After requalification:

• the new coach signs short contract with your team, if the requalified player was in your team
• the new coach goes to the free market in other cases (player was in the free market or player was retired)
• the team that found the player over scouts (or had the player as franchise) keeps a discount for the requalified coach’s salary
• the new coach is automatically analyzed for your team (without additional fee)
• the requalified player retires (if he wasn't retired yet)

Requalified coach:

• has a potential similar to the creation potential of the requalified player (may be a bit lower or higher)
• becomes Training coach, Tactical coach or Universal coach. The type of the requalified coach is displayed in the page of requalification and it depends on the skills of the requalified player. 

Requalifying a player may cost credits:

• requalifying the current franchise player can be done for free
• the cost of requalifying other players depends on the creation potential of the requalified player

Some advices:

• if you plan to requalify one of your players after he retires, add him to the club's Hall of Fame. This will ensure that the player is not deleted after retirement.
• if you want to requalify some player from the free market, consider signing contract with him first. When a player from your team is requalified, the new coach signs a short contract with your team.

Players have 13 different skills. Usually they are in interval from 1 to 14 but actually there is no upper limit. According to these skills and player's experience, player's strength rate (RT) is calculated. According to the value of RT one can refer to which player is better. However, when purchasing a player all his skills should be considered. Some skills are more important if you are looking for a defensive player and the other if you are looking for a shooter.

Each player has different potential for each skill. Player can have bigger potential for some skills and smaller - for the others (for example, the skill of the speed may improve much faster than the skill of Passing). Value of skill's potential can range from -50% to +100%. It shows percentage by which skill improves slower or faster than it would improve depending only on other criteria (age, general player's potential, coaches, playing time...) Skills' potentials are not visible. They can be anticipated by observing training results or using scouts' analysis.

Athletic skills (shows players' physical features):

Athletic skills also depend on players' physical features (height). Even if small player and tall player have the same jumping (or speed) skill's values, small player will still have better jumping ability (or speed). On the contrary, if small player and tall player have the same toughness skill's values, the tall player will be tougher than the small player.

• Jumping - the better the skill, the higher player can jump. This helps in both: defense and offence. Good jumping skill helps to get rebounds, defend opponent's shots, such players are more difficult to defend for the opponents (dunks, jump shots).
• Speed - how fast the player can move in the playing-field. Speed helps in making fast breaks and quickly returning to the defense. It also helps when playing one on one against a slower opponent.
• Toughness - describes the strength of the player. Toughness helps when there is contact with opponent: fighting for better position in the low post, setting screens, driving to the basket.

Accuracy skills:

• Close-range shots - how good the player is at making close-range shots. It includes various movements, hook shots, etc.;
• Mid-range shots - how good the player is at shooting free-throws and making mid-range shots. It includes moving shots, shooting after received pass, etc.;
• Three pointers - how well the player can attack from 3-point line.

Defense skills:

• Rebounding - describes how well the player can rebound the balls. This skill describes how well the player feels where the ball is going to fall, rather than the possibility for the player to rebound it (depends also on other skills).
• Contesting shots - how good the player is at defending shots. It is: proper reaction to fake moves before shot, impeding shot conditions, ability to block shots, etc.
• Defense IQ - how good the player is when defending player with the ball (before opponent decides to shoot - when dribbling, passing) and also to defend player without ball (disturbing to catch the pass, not leaving unguarded).

Offence skills:

• Dribbling - describes how well the player can dribble the ball. The skill is especially useful for small players. It helps to avoid turnovers, beat the defender and quickly dribble down the court.
• Passing -  describes the ability to pass the ball to the teammates. This skill helps to increase assists, as well as to avoid turnovers.
• Offence IQ - how well player understands and reacts to various situations in offence. It describes player's knowledge how to find better position, make better pass, etc. This skill is important not only for play-makers.

Experience – plays an important role during the the last minutes of the match, when playing with strong opponents, etc. Experience helps to avoid turnovers during important moments of the match, properly defend and attack, not to panic.
Players' experience grows depending on the playing time in court and the opponents. The player has to play at least 8 minutes against the same strength opponent or 4 minutes against twice stronger opponent, so that his experience grew.

Shape - describes player's readiness to do sports at the mean time. It depends on the playing time in court during the match.

MVP of the match

The best player from the winner team becomes the MVP of the match. MVP of the match is not necessary the one who scores most points or the one who has the biggest rating in the match. MVP of the match becomes the player that contributed most to the victory.

This includes both - defence and offence. When selecting MVP of the match, rating in the match and +/- rating are regarded. The same criteria applies to TOP5 and MVP of the day.

Top5 of the day

In every league, together with the update of standings table, TOP5 players and MVP of the day are selected.

Players from the matches where one team smashed the other team are not considered for the TOP5. Even if the player was very good in the court, he won't be selected for the TOP5 - if the team played against very weak team.

Players to the TOP5 of the day are selected only from the matches where point difference is equal or less than 30.

MVP of the day

MVP of the day (just like TOP5) is selected together with the update of standings table. MVP of the day most often is selected from the winner team.

Important! In the leagues, where all matches ended with big point difference (between the winner and the loser), sometimes TOP5 and MVP of the day can be not selected at all.

Titles of the season

At the end of each season, players are awarded with season titles: TOP5 and MVP of the season

In the future, there will be more diverse titles of the season:
- Best player from the "bench"
- Best defending player
- Most prospective player

Every season Drafts event takes place in the majority of international leagues (except the lowest divisions). In BasketPulse we have one Drafts’ round, so teams can pick one player every season.

In the first half of the season new players sign up for the upcoming Drafts event. Players usually are of three types:

• Ready now - players with very low potential but already fully trained. Pay attention to their health - some players may have better skills but worse health.
• Students - very young players who are willing to find a great basketball school to improve as basketball players. These players can be drafted only by the teams that have basketball schools.
• Talents - players that can play in youth team or can be loaned. Usually they have bigger potential but are not fully trained yet.

In the last week of the season the default “wish list” is generated for each team. However, the default order might not be what each team requires. So managers can move players in the list up, down or mark as “do not sign”.

Before the end of season, when all teams have already changed their leagues, the final teams’ positions in Drafts are determined. From this point, each manager knows which pick his team will have in the upcoming Drafts event.

Team's position depends on how many Draft points the team has. Draft points are collected the entire season by using scouts. If a few teams have the same amount of Draft points, a newer created team will get a higher pick in Drafts.

Teams that ascend to the upper league sometimes have difficulties to survive at a higher level. So these teams will get additional Draft points (next to what it has already collected). The exact number is calculated based on how many points other teams have in that league. So each time it will be different.
This way the teams that ascended to higher league will get a decent Drafts pick.
Please, have in mind that teams which got special invitations do not get this bonus!

It is very important to remember: if a team changes its league (for example, gets an invitation to the upper league), it will participate in the new league’s Drafts event. For such teams a new default “wish lists” will be generated and managers will have quite little time to make the desired changes.

On the last day of the season Drafts event takes place. The exact time when each team picks it's player can be found in the Drafts - Teams page. Until this time managers can make changes in their “wish list”. 
Team automatically picks the player with the highest available number based on the team's “wish list”.
Players automatically sign 2 season contracts or they are moved to basketball school if they are less than 18 years old (even if basketball school is full).
If there is no available player based on the team’s “wish list”, all Draft points are returned to the team. This strategy can be used when a team does not find any useful player in the Drafts event and decides to fight for a better pick next season.

Managers can see the salary of players even before the Drafts event. As their salaries are smaller than similar players’ salaries in the market, drafts’ players can not be traded during their first 2 seasons contract. 
Drafts’ players do not have a “scouted” player’s status, so if a team wants to extend the contract before the limited players’ market - it will be counted as a regular player.
However, if Drafts’ player is transferred to the Youth team, it will get his bonus in the same way as “scouted” player.

The ​Fair play committee is a group of devoted volunteers from different countries. The main goal of this group is to make this game fair for everyone.

Based on the size, federations can get spots in this group. If federation has spots, federation's president picks users who represent this community in the Fair play committee.
The number of each federation's representatives in the Fair play committee is recalculated once per season (depending on the size of federation and behaviour of its volunteers).

The system of the Fair play committee works automatically.
One of the most important areas that the committee works on, is Trades' reports. Members of the committee see reports, can discuss them and vote. Depending on the results of voting, it works automatically:

• Trade can be marked as Fair
• Trade can be reverted (restrictions' level is not decreased)
• Trade can be reverted and restrictions' level is decreased for both teams
• If the committee doesn't manage to make decision in time, the transferring players prohibition date is extended by 3 days.

Even after the term (when traded players can already be transferred) voting can take place. In this case trade is not reverted but the committee can decide to warn teams or decrease their restrictions' level.

In the end of every season all teams restrictions' levels are updated. All teams that didn't have reverted trades that season (by +1) draws near to the level determined by the Fair play committee.

New teams don't have fan clubs. Fans establish their clubs every week for teams that meat the requirements:

• at least 5 victories are achieved during a week;
• manager visited the team at least 3 days in a week.

Fan club is like adviser of team's manager. The better is the type of fan club, the more various opinions it presents. Types of fan clubs:

• Family and friends - when fan club is newly established.
• Small group of supporters - minimum 31 fans. Fans present their mood.
• Average group of supporters - minimum 51 fans. Fans present expectations for the current season (depends on number of fans, club's strength and free money)
• Big group of supporters - minimum 101 fans. Fans present evaluation of the last season.
• Small fan club - minimum 201 fans. Fans present opinion about club's finances.
• Average fan club - minimum 501 fans. Fans elect a president of the fan club.
• Big fan club - minimum 1001 fans. Fans present opinion about club's composition.
• Huge fan club - minimum 3001 fans. Fans present opinion about club's manager.
• Elite fan club - minimum 5001 fans. Fans present opinion about the last week.

The number of fans is influenced by team's victories and losses.

Rankings are made according to the number of club's fans. Fans' ranking is displayed in club's description page (it shows which place a club takes among all users according to the number of fans). Fans' ranking is also displayed in League Rankings' page and in Fan club page of the Rankings section.

Bigger number of fans increases the atmosphere during the home matches. Thus they help to increase  the home advantage. Fans' influence on the number of spectators is relatively small.

Federation is community that consists of one or few countries’ users.
Every country, disregarding its size, can create its own or make a request to join another federation. Countries that didn’t create their own federations and didn’t join other federations belong to global federation. Global federation works like all other federations.
It is recommended to create united federations only for countries that are somehow related (by locality, language or culture). However, the final decision is up to you.
Game members that belong to federation can make various suggestions and decisions are made by voting. Voting usually takes one week.

Every federation has its president. The member that suggests creating federation automatically becomes its first president. After federation is created other members can run as candidates to this position. New president can be elected every two seasons. 
The main task of the president is to take care of his federation, confirm or reject federation’s volunteers.
Every federation has a team of volunteers. They have some tasks related with welfare of the community. Volunteer can also be a member of another federation. 
 
Volunteers
 
Federation’s volunteer may belong to that federation or not. So, active game members can help supervising few different federations!
In most cases volunteers make decisions by voting - after some time the system calculates positive and negative votes given by volunteers. In some cases decision takes effect immediately.
We hope that volunteers will be tolerant, will not rush to judge other members, communicate with other volunteers and will try to make the game prettier and more fun.
 
Users’ moderator
We would like to have the game tidy and clean. Therefore we want that team names, logos and usernames wouldn’t be offensive and would be appropriate to represent basketball club.
These volunteers confirm information indicated by users:

• Team name
• Team logo
• Username

This information is confirmed by volunteers’ voting. After some time, if more volunteers (that voted) confirmed - it is allowed. Otherwise, user is informed that he will have to change it to something more neutral.
If volunteer notices that already existing club has inappropriate information, he can also mark it as inappropriate - link can be found in club’s (that belongs to federation) description page.
 
Initials’ moderator
The goal is to take care of federation players’ and coaches’ names and surnames. These volunteers confirm names and surnames given to players.
If they are often used by people in the country, they can be easily included into the lists of country’s names and surnames (that are used for newly created players and coaches).
When reviewing names and surnames chosen by users, we recommend not to make hasty conclusions. Do not forget that in every country there are people of different ancestry.
Also, initials’ moderators can delete or add names (surnames) to country’s database. It can be done in country’s page - link “Edit list of names and surnames”
 
Press conferences’ moderator
These volunteers take care that press conferences would be clean and tidy. Inappropriate press conference records can be hidden or their authors can be recommended to be punished for administration.
We would like that press conferences’ moderators would not only take care of order in press conferences but also give suggestions to administration how press conferences could be organized better.

One of the most important parts of the game is finances. Just like in real life, the strength of the club and the number of matches won depend on the budget. The greater the budget is, the better players you can keep, the more time you can spend improving the image of your club, and the more money sponsors will want to offer your club. So, the budget depends on how popular the club is, the league it is playing in, and the win/loss ratio.

In the beginning, your budget will not be very impressive, and the size of it will change little by little when ascending through the leagues. It is very important to distribute the expenses so, that you would have optimal team.

Financial operations

The main financial operations in this game take place once a week (players and coaches get salary, all the sectors are financed, club receives money from sponsors).

There can also be unexpected expenses or income: money from match tickets (it is not known how many people will come to see the match), compensations for fired players (coaches), expenses of scouts, fee for changing team name, etc.

One week a club may have more expenses than income, but only if it is certain that it will get more income than expenses next week. There are various restrictions that offer some help when planning club's finances, however the system can not ensure that the club will not go bankrupt. The manager of the club must calculate club's income and expenses by himself!  If a club is in debt, the process of bankruptcy will start - sectors (image, popularity, personnel) will not be financed. If it is not enough, the most expensive player leaves the club, later - next most expensive player and so on.


Main financial information

In order to foresee and plan your club's finances, it is very important to understand all the numbers that are given in finance's page:

• Current amount of money - the amount of currently spare money (if this number is negative, a bankruptcy process is started)
  Having some savings is important for every club. It allows to mitigate consequences of possible unexpected cases.
  On the other hand, sponsors give money and expect that it will help the club to reach as good results as possible. Some clubs tend to save huge amounts of money and do not spend them for purchasing better players.
  Clubs that have saved huge amount of money have to pay rich clubs' taxes. Each international tournament's division has savings' limit that is allowed for cubs to have. The exact number can be found in international league's information page. If a club has more money than this limit, once in a season the tax will be paid: 20% of total club's savings but not more than the amount of money that is over the limit.

 

• Balance of the remaining part of the season
  Here you can find the list of all foreseen income and expenses. This prediction is not accurate because there may be unforeseen income/expenses.
  
  When predicting income from the matches, the income from the match in the schedule is calculated, plus the income that the club would get if it was in the middle of final standings in the leagues. However, income from the match, as well as arenas' rent fees, depend on decisions made by the manager, so this prediction is approximate and calculated for average achievements in the league.
  The predicted sum for rent of arenas is calculated according to the club's rented arenas and predicted interest in matches. Even if club hasn't rented any arenas, the predicted sum is calculated according to interest in matches. If a club decides not to rent arena, it will not have to pay the  rent fee but the income from matches will also be smaller that the predicted. So, the difference between income from matches and rent for arenas still remains an approximate prediction for benefit received from matches.
  
  Predicted balance at the end of the season is approximate and can change during the season.

 

• Financial operations
  Financial operations' table gives information about the operations that were made during the selected week: season day, short description and the sum spent/received.
  In the bottom of the table, there is a balance of the week - what sum was acquired (if it is positive) or what sum was consumed (if negative).

 

• Salaries of personnel
  While calculating what salary you can offer to a player (coach), you should first look at your weekly income.  Personnel's salary shouldn't exceed weekly income. Only when a club has enough savings (current amount of money), it can allow itself to have negative weekly balance (but money have to be sufficient at least till the end of the season). In the beginning it is very important not to let your weekly balance be negative. Only later, when there is enough savings, money can be spent according to different strategies (of course, having in mind that club may go bankrupt).
   
• Weekly salaries' table shouldn't be used for planning expenses. Limits that are not allowed to be exceeded are given in the table. However, these restrictions do not guarantee that your club will not go bankrupt!
  • Maximum sum for personnel's salaries - the maximum sum that is allowed to spend for personnel's salaries. If a club is in lower than the 1st international tournament's division, it is calculated according to weekly sum given by sponsors and club's savings (current amount of money). Clubs that managed to reach the 1st division of the international tournament are considered as experienced and capable of planning club's finances, so that it doesn't go bankrupt. Therefore the limit is more loose and does not restrict finances so much. As well, max allowed sum is a bit increased when user gets a higher rank. If any club is near to bankruptcy, max sum for personnel's salaries is equal to the sum given by sponsors.
  • Personnel's salaries now - sum that is paid for personnel's salaries each week.
  • Sum of offered salaries - total sum of salaries offered in the market. It includes all club's offers in the market that are still being considered.
  • Maximum sum allowed to spend - the sum that is allowed to spend for personnel's salaries. However, the manager himself has to follow club's financial situation and decide what additional sum can be spent for personnel's salaries.
  • The sum of players' salaries is also restricted by international league:
    • Minimum sum of players' salaries - minimum sum that a club must spend on players' salaries. This restriction doesn't allow clubs to be inactive and encourages to reach for some results in their leagues. Even if players salaries' sum is lower than the restriction, club still has to pay minimum allowed sum every week. So, clubs that decided to save money still have to find the best available players for minimum salaries' sum.
    • Maximum sum of players' salaries - maximum sum that is recommended to spend for players' salaries. If club exceeds this restriction, his opponents have no chances to compete. Therefore, clubs that have big savings are encouraged not to spend all savings at once  but to regard the level of other league's clubs. If players salaries' sum exceeds this restriction, every week club has to pay a fine, which is equal to the difference between salaries' sum and maximum allowed sum.

Sometimes managers fail to calculate and plan their financial strategy. When all savings are exhausted, a process of bankruptcy is started.
When procedure of bankruptcy is started, club can not raise the sum of players' salaries - make offers in the market or raise salaries by trading players.

Procedure of bankruptcy is executed on Saturday nights.

1st stage: club's current amount of money is < 0 Eu.
Outcome:

• Sectors' financing (popularity, image, personnel) are set to 0.
• Club's popularity, image, personnel's opinion and number of fans decreases.

2nd stage: club's debt (in current amount of money) is bigger than the sum received from international league's sponsor (minimum 20 000 Eu). 
Outcome:

• The most expensive player leaves the club. Weekly salary is paid.
• All coaches, except the cheapest (lowest salary) one, leave the club. Their weekly salaries are paid.
• Club's image, popularity and personnel's opinion go to the lowest limit.
• Big amount of fans leave the club.

Every club has to take care of its popularity, image and personnel - some money has to be invested in these sectors. When planning finances, manager has to determine the sum that the club wants to invest in each sector:

Image sector - Image experts try to emphasize all the good aspects of your team. They can help you create an image of a solid team, which helps when signing and prolonging contracts with players (coaches). As well, good image helps attracting more 'common' spectators to team's matches.
Investment in this sector helps increasing team's image. The bigger investment - the faster image will improve.

Popularity sector - popular teams attract more people who want to visit their matches. As well they are more interesting to sponsors. According to club's popularity sponsors decide how big benefit they will get from cooperation with your club and give corresponding offers. The bigger popularity club has in international league, the bigger offers are given by the sponsors.
Team's popularity depends a lot on team's performance. Investment in this sector can help increasing team's popularity faster or compensating poor performance. 

When determining investment in this sector, it is important to consider the fact that popularity has to be gained in each international league separately. A club that ascends from lower division at first has small popularity (a club that descends from upper division has quite big popularity). If club stays in its league only one season, better popularity will attract more visitors to its matches but it won't help to get better sponsors' offers in a new league next season.
In the beginning of each season popularity points are recalculated in each league. Popularity points are allocated so that the distance between adjacent positions in popularity ranking would be equal. It is important not how many popularity points a club has but which place it takes in popularity ranking.

Personnel sector - salary is not all that club's personnel need. They also require care from managers of the club. Money assigned to the personnel can be used very differently: taking care of their social requests, entertainment, etc. When player feels well in the club, his opinion about the club gets better and he is more willing to prolong the contract. Even other players (in the market) tend to choose club where current players' opinion is better. If few clubs offered similar salaries, player will choose the one with the best atmosphere (current players' opinion).
Investments in this sector help improving opinion of team's players that have the worst opinion about your club. The bigger sum is invested, the more (or the faster) players' opinions can be improved.

Friendly matches are of a few types: usual friendly matches and additional friendly matches.

Usual friendly matches

These friendly matches are played on free days from leagues’ matches. Teams have to agree upon playing these friendly matches at least one day in advance. When the teams agree to play a friendly match, the system automatically selects time for it and puts it into the schedule.

Opponent can be found in a few ways:
- Offer friendly match to a particular club (in club's description page or friendly matches page)
- Offer match to any club in the game - the system will find another club (that also wants to play friendly matches) to play with
- Offer match to a club of similar strength - the system will try to find another club that is of similar strength to your team and also wants to play with a club of similar strength. The match will be arranged and put into schedule.

Friendly matches are displayed in club's schedule. Offers received are displayed in friendly matches page (Matches - Friendly matches). Club is also informed about received friendly match offer over club's news.

During these friendly matches players improve and get tired similarly to not very important official match.

Friendly matches take place in arena selected by Home team. The profit (match income - arena rent) from friendly match is divided by both teams.
 

Additional friendly matches

These matches may be played even if there is another match  (league's or friendly) scheduled on the same day. It is like “theoretic match” for practicing.

Additional matches can be of two types:
- Played with testing match engine (newly created). These matches are meant for testing new engine and getting acquainted with it. After each match engine's update these matches are available for all users on the determined day(s). Users that are actively testing the new match engine and reporting the noticed problems may get longer period for playing additional testing matches.
  If users notice some mismatch while watching these testing matches, they should inform administration about it. This way before starting to use the new engine in official matches, it will be improved and problems will be solved.
- Played with the main match engine (that is used in leagues' matches). These matches are meant for experimenting with team's players and tactics.

In Matches->Additional matches page opponents for additional matches can be found, as well as offers of additional friendly matches can be accepted, rejected or canceled.

After each update in testing engine:
   - A separate topic will be created in the forum - about the changes made in this version of testing engine.
   - Information about updates of the testing engine will be given ONLY in the appointed topic in forum (when working on the testing engine, it will be updated often)
   - After each update in testing match engine users will be given a day or few to play additional testing matches.

The beginning of additional matches:
  * Additional matches are put into schedule 1 hour later than the agreement to play additional match is done.
  * Additional matches (even if they are already put into schedule) can start only when both teams have set individual tactics for this match. If at least one of the teams doesn't have individual tactics set, the beginning of the match is postponed for 1 hour. If individual tactics is not set, the beginning of the match can be postponed few times. If one or both teams do not set individual tactics for a few days, the match is played using standard tactics.

In the end of the season all information about played additional matches is deleted for ever.

Tickets to additional matches are free. Additional matches don't have any influence on players' injuries, tiredness, training or experience.

It is possible to play additional match with teams made from the same club's players. For example, Main team can play additional friendly match against Youth team - in this case manager can divide all club's players (from Youth and Main teams) into two teams. 
If both teams can select the same player (Main team playing against Youth or National team against the team of its players), he will be able to play only in one of them! Therefore in such cases tactics should be indicated so that the player is selected only by one team. Otherwise one of teams may lack players and new bad RT players will be assigned to a team (to reach the required minimum 7 players).

Almost all clubs participate in the international tournament. They are distributed into international leagues. It may be so, that newly registered user will not participate in any international tournament for the first season. At the end of season team will be assigned to some international league.

Leagues are arranged in a "triangle" principle; where every league has two minor leagues. For example, 1.1 league has minor leagues 2.1 and 2.2 and each of them has their minor leagues (2.1 has 3.1 and 3.2; 2.2 has 3.3 and 3.4)

The higher league a club is in, the more money it gets from sponsors, and the bigger income it gets from matches.

There are 32 teams in each league.

Teams in Standings table are sorted by wins/losses and +/- rate of head-to-head matches (in case of same number of victories). Remember that technical loss is worse than a common loss (2 points for victory, 1 for loss, 0 for technical loss). Therefore a team that has a technical loss in the standings can be beneath the teams with bigger number of victories.

How is the rate of head-to-head matches calculated? Example, when three teams have the same number of victories:

Team1 - Team2 : 72-70
Team1 - Team3 : 60-70
Team2 - Team3 : 0-0 (haven't played yet)

In this case the results are: Team1 = 2-10 = -8; Team2 = -2 + 0 = -2; Team3 = 10 + 0 = 10

Therefore, Team3 will get the highest place, Team2 will go afterwards and Team1 will be the last.

Prizes

After the finals clubs get prizes for the place taken in the league. The higher place is taken, the bigger prize is given. Not all league's teams get prizes.The first club in the league gets sum that is similar to the weekly sum of money got from the league sponsor.

Limit of foreign players

There is no limit of foreigners in international leagues' matches. Even all players registered for international leagues' matches may be foreigners.

 

Regular season

Teams are distributed into 4 groups with 8 teams in each.

Every team plays two matches with every other group's team. Clubs are ordered by points got for match results. Win is equal to 2 points, loss - 1 point, technical loss - 0 points.

 

TOP 16

Four best teams from each regular season's group go to TOP 16. 2 new groups are formed with 8 teams in each.

After the regular season, 16 best teams go into 8 hats for the draw (according to the number of wins and points difference). Then the teams are randomly selected for the 2 groups - each group has one team from each hat. Every team plays 2 matches with every other group's team.

Last 4 teams from each regular season's group are also divided into 2 groups for LAST 16. The structure is the same as in TOP 16, only that teams are fighting for 17-32 places. 

Play-offs

Four best teams from each of TOP 16 groups go to play-offs and play series till 2 victories. 1st team in group is coupled with 4th team from another group; 2nd team - with 3rd team from another group.

Analogically teams that took 5-8 places in 2nd round's groups are coupled and play series till 2 victories.

Teams that are fighting for 17-32 places are also coupled in the same way and play until specific place is known. All series are played till 2 victories.

Finals

The winners of play-offs go to semifinals and play series till 3 victories. The winners go to the final and fight for the title of the champion. Teams play until 3 victories in the final.

Bronze medal series is also played until 3 victories.

Three best teams ascend to the superior league.

Six last teams in the league (27-32) descend to the minor league.

 

Special invitation to the league

Sometimes clubs are closed and at the end of the season their places are taken by lower division's active clubs that didn't manage to ascend to upper division.

On 50th day of the season, the queue of teams for these vacant places is made. At first all active clubs from lower division are included into the queue. However team can leave the queue if it doesn't want to participate in this contest. Criteria that are used to form the queue (according to priority):

• Place taken in the league (the best clubs are in the top)
• User is not violating game's rules
• Free money owned by the club (so that club could adapt easier in higher league)
• Gold Premium Package

Users can also invest some amount of credits to improve their place in the queue. In this case if user doesn't get special invitation, credits are returned.

In the beginning the queue is only for orientation because place taken in the league is not known yet. It gets more accurate when the end of the season is approaching.

The queue is updated once a day.

Every team participates in the tournament of its country. All teams are distributed into leagues.

The leagues are arranged in a "triangle" principle where every league has two minor leagues. For example, 1.1 league has minor leagues 2.1 and 2.2 and each of them has their minor leagues (2.1 has 3.1 and 3.2; 2.2 has 3.3 and 3.4)

The higher league a club is in, the more money the club gets from sponsors, and the bigger prizes for achievements in the end of season.

There are 12 teams in each league.

Teams in Standings table are sorted by wins/losses and +/- rate of inter-matches (in case of same number of wins). Remember that technical loss is worse than a common loss (2 points for win, 1 for loss, 0 for technical loss). Therefore a team that has a technical loss in the standings can be beneath the teams with bigger number of wins.

How is the rate of inter-matches calculated? Example, when three teams have same number of wins:

Team1 - Team2 : 72-70
Team1 - Team3 : 60-70
Team2 - Team3 : 0-0 (haven't played yet)

In this case the results are: Team1 = 2-10 = -8; Team2 = -2 + 0 = -2; Team3 = 10 + 0 = 10

Therefore, Team3 will get the highest place, Team2 will go afterwards and Team1 will be the last.

Prizes

After the finals clubs get prizes for the place taken in the league. Prizes are given for clubs that took 1-8 places. The higher place is taken, the bigger prize is given.

Limit of foreigners

Maximum 6 foreigners can be registered for the match of the national league. If you set more foreigners in tactics, only the allowed number will be registered for the match. Be careful because 7 players is the minimum that can be registered for the match (if some of the foreigners are automatically rejected due to the limit, the number of registered players may be too little!) If there aren't 7 players available to play, the team will get a technical loss.

 

The winner turns out after the regular season and play-offs.

Regular season

Teams are divided into 2 groups with 6 teams in each. Every team plays two matches with every other group's team. Clubs are ordered by points got for match results. Win is equal to 2 points, loss - 1 point, technical loss - 0 points.

After the regular season is over, 4 best teams from each group go to play-offs.

Play-offs

Teams for play-offs are coupled this way: 1st team plays with 4th team from another group, 2nd with 3rd (from another group). The winner of each couple is the one that gets 2 victories.

Semifinal and Final series also take place till 2 victories.

Teams that took the last 2 places in groups play 2 series for 9th-12th places (till 2 victories). 5th team plays with 6th team from another group. Winners play series for 9th place, losers - for 11th place.

Teams that got into the final of the league have a chance to ascend to the upper league.

Transitional match

1st team in the league ascends to upper league automatically (if the league has its upper league).

11th and 12th teams descend to one of the minor leagues automatically (if the league has its minor league).

After the finals, 2nd team in the league plays one transitional match with 9th or 10th team in the upper league (one of these teams is selected randomly). The match takes place in neutral arena and the winner will play in upper league next season. The loser will descend/stay in the minor league.

Special invitation to the league

Sometimes clubs are closed and at the end of the season their places are taken by lower division's active clubs that didn't manage to ascend to upper division.

On 50th day of the season, the queue of teams for these vacant places is made. At first all active clubs from lower division are included into the queue. However team can leave the queue if it doesn't want to participate in this contest. Criteria that are used to form the queue (according to priority):

• Place taken in the league (the best clubs are in the top)
• User is not violating game's rules
• Free money owned by the club (so that club could adapt easier in higher league)
• Gold Premium Package

Users can also invest some amount of credits to improve their place in the queue. In this case if user doesn't get special invitation, credits are returned.

In the beginning the queue is only for orientation because place taken in the league is not known yet. It gets more accurate when the end of the season is approaching.

The queue is updated once a day.

Free players/coaches market

In the market you can purchase club‘s personnel. Players and coaches are not things or items (like in other games), therefore you cannot buy/sell them. You can only hire them, i.e. the player/coach signs  the contract with the club which offers the best conditions. Maximum term of the contract is 5 seasons.

Personnel (players, coaches) delivers term, during which he will accept an offer (t.= 1 day). When this term finishes, personnel will sign the contract with the club that proposed the best offer. Player’s decision time doesn't change until he gets first offer or he might disappear from the market for a while. If there is a mark [mt] is in Term column, you can hire this player/coach right away, for minimum salary.

 

Limited players'/coaches' market

Limited players/coaches are the ones, whose contracts will terminate at the end of this season.

In the second half of a season free players'/coaches' markets are closed and limited players'/coaches' markets are opened. Limited market is a great opportunity to get ready for the next season. These players/coaches want to get better offers for the next season. Players/coaches, purchased here, will come to your team after the current season, so do not expect to have them in your team immediately. Current club (of a player/coach) can see the salary desired by the player (determined according to offers received from other clubs). On the last day, when other clubs can not make offers, the current owner can sign contract for the player's desired salary.

No. of offers indicates the number of offers the player/coach has.
Day - the day till which you can make an offer. You have to make your offer BEFORE the indicated day begins, because on that day only the OWNER of the team, to which the player now belongs, will be able to make an offer. He will be able to sign a contract on conditions desired by the player/coach (outweigh other offers). On the indicated day the player/coach will not be shown in the marketplace (will be shown only for the owner). You will be able to find out if the player/coach chose your club, on the next day after the one, indicated in Day column.

Choose Show those who have made up their mind (in the top of limited players' market page) to see which players/coaches chose your offer, which club each player/coach chose and what salary he will get next season.

Players/coaches purchased here will show up in your team's roster after the end of limited market (63rd day of the season).

 

Player's decision

You have to remember that sometimes a player can choose an offer with lower salary. A player makes his decision according to a few factors:

• offered salary (influences most),
• the image of the club,
• personnel's sector,
• the country of the club (player prefers the clubs from his native country),
• players from scouts give advantage to their first clubs,
• limited players prefer their current clubs a bit more than others (only in limited players' market).

Each player/coach has his minimum required salary (displayed in player's/coach's description page). If no club offers equal or bigger salary, player/coach ends his career (old stars will rather end career than play for minor salary; young players also have minimum limit that can keep them playing basketball).

At first, every user has one set of tactics that is saved under the name First. It is usually not perfect, therefore every manager should analyze his players and choose which players should be in the starting lineup and which in reserve, who will play more offensively and who - more defensively. Also manager has to indicate one or more positions that each team's player should play in. In the team tactics' section, manager has to indicate how team's players should play as a team.

The tactics of a match are divided into three groups: Players' setup, players' positions and team's tactics. Do not forget to always press Approve button before moving on to other section.

Tactics

First of all you need to decide which players you will send to the playing-field (you need at least 7, but maximum 12 players).

You can also indicate how they should play. You can decide how often they should throw two pointers or three pointers, as well as if they should play defensive or offensive.

Positions

In the position setup you can assign each player three positions that he can play in. According to these assigned positions the player substitutions take place during the match. However you have to remember that all the players cannot play in all the positions.

Team tactics

In the team tactics you have to indicate which offensive or defensive tactics to use, pace of the match and other team's settings.

Tactics management:

Premium users can have more than one set of tactics in the game.  Sometimes it is handy to have few sets of tactics: for example, separate tactics could let team's youngest players play more time, meanwhile some of the main players could rest a bit. This set of tactics could be used playing against weak opponents or in friendly matches.

In order to create a new set of tactics, press Create new button. Write a name for the tactics in the pop up window, and press Save. You have now made a new set of tactics, that at the moment is identical to your First. Therefore you need to edit list of players and the way they are going to play. Do not forget to save the changes, by pressing the button Approve.

That is it - you now have a couple of tactics that are ready for use. Default tactics is used in matches that don't have individually selected tactics in the Schedule. In order to set tactics for particular match, go to Schedule and click on the Tactics' column.

Every club can use services of scouts (menu section Scouts). Scouts can be sent to look for new talents for your team. Settings when sending scouts for search:

• what you are looking for: a coach or a player.
• financing of talent's search. Financing of 0 Eu can be selected but the bigger financing, the bigger chances to find a good talent. A good talent may be found with low financing, too, but chances are much lower.
• desired age and position of the player. The younger talent you are looking for, the less accurate you can predict his final position. The expected positions:
  • Center - C or PF
  • Forward - SF
  • Guard - PG or SG
• type of skills' potentials - desired type of player. According to the selected type, scouts will find a player (coach) with corresponding skills.

Higher type of basketball school a little increases chances to find a better player. Looking for talents without any filtering criteria also a bit increases chances to find a better player.

Scouts can be sent for search once a day. When scouts present the report, manager has to make decision if he wants to hire the talent until the end of the day. Afterwards the system will automatically delete the report and a new search for talents may be ordered.

If a player found by scouts is young enough (<= 18 y.), he can be invited to basketball school (no salary) or to the main team. If the player is younger than 16 y., he can be invited only to basketball school.

All coaches and players, found by the scouts, will always want to prolong a contract with your team. Talents found by the scouts will be easier to keep in the team than the ones purchased in the market.

Draft points

Using scouts brings Draft points for the club. If scouts found a player (coach) that is not good enough (and he wasn't hired), the club receives Draft points. The bigger sum was invested for the talent's search, the more Draft points will be received.

The main income for the club comes from sponsors.

Every team has 5 sponsors - two big-share (takes 55% of all club advertisement space and 25%), two small-share (each takes 10%) and an international league's sponsor. The bigger share of the club advertisement a sponsor takes, the more important he is because he gives more money. League's sponsor does not take any share of the club's advertisement - it is a donation for its clubs.

Sponsors give offers according to club's popularity in international league. The higher popularity of the club is, the bigger value each advertisement percent has.

If a club has free space for advertisements, offers from sponsors are displayed in Sponsors - Offers page. Every night offers are renewed. So, it has to be decided whether to accept an offer or not within a day. At the time of renewal not accepted offers are deleted and new offers are given.

Considerable income for the clubs comes from the leagues. Leagues' sponsors assign a certain amount of money for each club that is participating in it. The higher division the league is in, the more money it gives to its teams. All clubs that are in the same tournament and same division get the same sum of money from the league.

 

Term of the contracts

Term of leagues' sponsors is 1 season. In the end of the season leagues' sponsors sign new contracts with its clubs.

When signing contracts with common sponsors (big-share and small-share), the term is determined. Term means that the sponsor will support the club for the determined number of seasons if the club doesn't change its international league. On the last night of the season contracts are reviewed and cancelled:

• contracts with the clubs that changed international leagues;
• terminated contracts.

When the contracts are cancelled, sponsors start giving new offers. So, if the club doesn't want to loose the first payment, it should sign the contract on the 1st week of the new season, before financial operations take place.

Note. When the team ascends to upper division, common sponsors (big-share and small-share) do not give much better offers - they are usually similar or lower. Newly ascended team at first is not popular in this league therefore sponsors do not offer much. If club's popularity in the lower division was one of the best, its sponsors may have given better offers.

When ascending to upper division, total income will be bigger due to league's sponsor and income from the matches.

It is impossible to describe precisely the way that engine acts. Here, just like in reality, every action in the court depends on lots of factors and a little fortune. Therefore precise results are impossible to tell.

Tactics' influence on the course of the match is described in sub items of this section. Match engine is continually updated, therefore sometimes this description might be not absolutely fresh. We will try to update this section as often as possible.

In players positions' page players that should play are selected and recommendations for their playing time are given. The list of all team's players is displayed in tactics' page.
The first 5 players are the Starting players - each position must have one player next to it (1st - starting PG, 2nd - starting SG, 3rd - starting SF, 4th - starting PF, 5th - starting C). The first positions of Starting players are preset and can't be changed (so, you need to move (exchange) the desired Starting PG player into the 1st position in list - PG's position). Second and third positions can be selected additionally (advanced settings).
6-th - 12th players are the bench players. They can be listed in any order and 1st (additionally 2nd and 3rd) positions have to be selected for each player.
Maximum 12 players can be registered for the match. Minimum 7 players must be registered for the match, though it is recommended to register more players.
Usually, it is enough to register 10 players for the match, though in some cases it would be useful to have 12:

• when players make fouls quickly;

• when a few overtimes take place.

If a team has more foreign players than the foreign players' limit, not all of them can play in national league’s matches. If you want to ensure that the desired foreign players would play in the match (and foreign players’ limit will not be exceeded):
1. Move the excess foreign players to the end of list in Tactics page. When players that will play in match are selected, the first foreign players will be registered (foreign players in starting five, then if there still is space 6th player, 7th player...)
2. Next to unnecessary foreign players (in the end of list) select “DNP” as Recommended time. In this case message informing that foreign players’ limit was exceeded will not be sent.
 

---

Positions

Position 1 - the main player’s position, in which player should play the majority of his time. When substituting a player, at first player with the required first position is searched for.

Position 2 - additional position that player can play almost same well as in the main position. When substituting a player and no player with the required first position is available, player with the required second position is searched for.

Position 3 - position where player can play under the necessity. When substitution is not obligatory, player with the required 3rd position is not searched for. If substitution is obligatory (due to recommended playing time or situation in court) and no players with the required 1st or 2nd position are available, player with the required 3rd position is searched for. If such player is not available either, player that can play in adjacent position is searched for (following the same priorities).


Every player has his own primary position where the player himself likes to play. Primary position is determined according to player's height and skills. This position may change if player's height grows or some skills improve.
This primary position is displayed in player‘s page, trades’ page and elsewhere. But this does not mean that he can not play in other positions. Players can play same well in their primary positions and in adjacent positions. For example, SG position player can play same well in PG or SF positions.
Club's manager can choose which position player should play in his team. However, be careful when assigning players to other positions - consider player’s height and skills.

Three positions may be assigned to every player. These settings determine in which positions and how much time player will play. According to these settings substitutions are made during matches.

These abbreviations are used to describe players' positions:
   PG – point guard
   SG – shooting guard
   SF – small forward
   PF – power forward
   C – center

How substitutions are made

Let’s say, that there is a need to substitute PF that is on court.

1. Coach is searching for substitution by players' number in tactic. He starts from the top and goes down. First he is looking for a player whose first assigned position is PF, and who is not on court at the moment.
2. If there is no such player with PF assigned in the first position, he is trying to look for a player who has a second position assigned as PF (from top to the bottom as in previous variant).
3. If substitution is obligatory and there are no available players with 1st and 2nd positions, he searches for the player with third position assigned as PF (from top to the bottom as in previous variants).
4. If the substitution is not necessary, then the player that was intended to be changed stays on court. If the substitution is necessary (i.e. player has 5 personal fouls) the coach looks at the roster again and picks the first available player with adjacent position.

IMPORTANT! Be aware and have a few players that could fill in the possible free positions on court during the game. If the necessary player is not found, then another position's player will be let in to court.

The following situation might happen:

• C on court can play as PF, too
• PF on court committed 5th foul and is forced to leave the court
• There are no PF position players on the bench
• Available adjacent position's player is sent to play as PF. If there is none, any player is sent to court but the C on court won't be moved to play as PF.

So it is very important to assign more than one position. Some of users are afraid to do so, as they think that their bench players will get too much time on court. In this case only 1st and 3rd positions may be indicated - players will substitute to his 3rd position only if it is obligatory substitution.

When looking for substitution, player may not be let to court if player's role is "important" and he has already collected a lot of fouls (according to the time passed).
 

---

Player’s role - describes player’s importance in team (whether he is wanted to play in the end of matches or only to pursue his individual tasks).

Important - this setting should be set for 5 players with different 1st positions that should play in the end of matches.
+ Player is put into court in the end of matches
+ If player collects fouls quickly, he is substituted out in order to save him for the end of match
- Due to saving for the end of match player can play much less time than was expected
- When player is late in defence, he intentionally fouls only if it is his first foul. Thus sometimes opponent can find it easier to score.
- If player already has 4 fouls, he defends worse (trying to avoid fouling out)

Normal
+ Player is not substituted out due to the number of collected fouls
- If player already has 4 fouls, he defends worse (trying to avoid fouling out)

Not important
+ Player is not substituted out due to the number of collected fouls
+ Player keeps defending same intensively even when he already has 4 fouls
- If player collects fouls quickly, his playing time can be very short
 

---

Recommended time - how many minutes each player should spend in court during match. The whole match time has to be allocated for players - how many minutes you want each player to play (sum of all players' minutes has to be: 40min * 5 players = 200 min).
Option “DNP” (Do Not Play) has to be selected if you want that player wouldn’t be substituted to court in any case

It is impossible to allocate time exactly as set and players won't spend exactly the recommended time in court. However, the coach will try to respect the recommendations and follow the indicated plan.

Tactics for the particular match should be chosen considering opponent’s playing style. You can try to find out your opponent’s playing style by watching his matches live or following matches’ chronology. One can also find a lot of information in the page of Teams’ statistics, where shots' stats is provided. Therefore you can see if your opponent more likes to play in the low post or attack from 3 points' line.

It is recommended to choose tactics of team’s offence and defence for every match. Team tactics may have considerable impact on match’s result.
Team tactics of the opponent may be guessed by analyzing his match chronology and statistics.

Twice in a season different age groups' tournaments take place. Every second season it is either U16 and U21, or U18 and Men's tournaments.
National teams' tournaments are based on additional matches. They may take place on the same time as a match in official league (national or international). Playing in National team doesn't affect player's training or injuries.

Manager of the team

On the first week of the season users can suggest themselves as candidates. Running as candidate is also available later (till the beginning of the tournament) but it costs more credits. Whether candidate becomes manager of National team or not, credits paid for becoming a candidate are not returned.
The same user can be a candidate to few National teams but will be able to manage only one National team in each age category. If candidate is voted to manage few teams, he will manage the one that is higher in strength ranking.

On the second week all country's users, that have paper rank or higher, can vote for the chosen candidate to manage the National team. Vote can be given for only one candidate in each category (vote may be changed during the voting week).

Criteria for selecting the manager of national team are:

1. Number of votes
2. Sum invested in implementation of game's features (Credits - Investment in game)
3. Higher user's rank
4. Earlier date of registration in the game.

*** Warning: Candidates can not spam country's users promoting to vote for them. All arguments and discussions are welcome in candidate's speech and press conferences below it.

Manager can:

• choose assistant - another user that can also fully participate in management of the National team
• select 20 players that will participate in preparation phase (skills of the selected players are displayed)
• later select only 12 players (from the previously selected 20) that will play for the National team
• select 3 coaches that will lead the National team
• if there is need, National team can play preseason matches based on additional friendly matches
• set team’s tactics

National team's coaches
 
System of the tournament

All age groups' tournaments may consist of few divisions (the number of them depends on activness of countries' users and strength of countries' players). 
Every division's tournament takes place in some particular country. This country’s team has a better atmosphere. Hosting countries are selected according to country users’ activeness, growth, support and contribution to game’s development.

Each division has one league with 24 teams.

1st round. Teams play in 4 groups of 6 teams in each. 1 match is played with each group's team (5 matches). Teams in Standings table are sorted by wins/losses and +/- rate of head-to-head matches (in case of same number of victories). 3 best teams go to the next round.

2nd round. After the 1st round, 12 best teams go into 6 hats for the draw (according to the number of wins and points difference). Then the teams are randomly selected for the 2 groups - each group has one team from each hat. Teams play in 2 groups of 6 teams in each. 1 match is played with each group's team (5 matches). Teams in Standings table are sorted by wins/losses and +/- rate of head-to-head matches (in case of same number of victories). 4 best teams go to the next round.

Quarter finals. Teams are paired this way: 1st (in one group) - 4th (in another group), 2nd (in one group) - 3rd (in another group). Teams that win 1 match go to the next round.
Semi finals. Teams are paired so that 1st place winners can meet each other only in the Final. Teams that win 1 match go to the next round.
Final. The winner of the Final is the winner of the tournament.

Players and coaches can be trained to increase their skills and experience. Training takes place and reports are presented every day.

Training reports present the current values of skills and changes in skills of that day. Improvement points show how much skill increased or decreased.
In order to reach different skill's value, different number of improvement points is required. The bigger skill's value is reached for, the more improvement points are required. For example, it requires considerably less improvement points to improve skill from "3" to "4" than to improve skill from "4" to "5", etc.
The required number of improvement points to reach some particular skill's value may be identified by observing training results.
Training report for PREMIUM users additionally informs when skills, experience or RT changes to higher (or lower) value. Also it is possible to review training report of some past day of the season.

Players' training

Players' skills and experience is changing with age. Young players' skills increase, old players' (>= 30 years) skills decrease. You can indicate which skills you want to improve for each player (coach). At the same time one player (coach) can improve one particular skill (for example, speed), group of similar skills (for example, accuracy) or make regular training, where one randomly selected skill is improved day after day. When using regular training, it is a bit more effective to compare with training the same skill selected manually.

Player's improvement depends on many criteria:

• age - the younger the player is, the faster he improves. 14-19 year-old players improve at the highest speed (same improvement speed of all). 20-29 year-old players improve slower with each further year. Players of 30 years-old and over do not improve - their skills start decreasing (the older, the faster)
• general player's potential - the bigger potential, the faster player improves.
• potential of particular skill - the bigger potential of that skill is, the faster this skill improves (to compare with other skills of that player). Player can have bigger potential for some skills and smaller - for the others (for example, the skill of Speed may improve much faster than the skill of Passing). 
  Value of skill's potential can be from -50% to +100%. It shows percentage by which skill improves slower or faster than it would improve depending only on the other criteria (age, coaches, playing time...)
  Skills' potentials are not visible. They can be anticipated by observing training results or using scouts' analysis.
• coaches - their training skills are important during the exercises: athletic skills, offence, defense, accuracy. All coaches take part in training players and they supplement each other. Each skill is exercised by the coach that has the best training skill of that skills' group.
  If team doesn't have coaches, it also has bad influence on players' training speed.
• playing time and opponent - the more time the player spends in court, the more experience he gains and the faster his skills improve. When the player plays against stronger opponent, he improves faster;
• bad player's shape decreases training effectiveness. Training bring the best result when player is in Excellent shape. Shape can be adjusted by changing playing time in court.
• perfect player's health a little increases training effectiveness.

Players that don't have club or belong to a bot club do not improve.

Player's shape works like a long-term tiredness and depends on player's tiredness in that day's match. During training player's shape moves a bit towards "Excellent shape".
For example, if player was a bit tired in a match, his shape may fully recover in that day's training. If player was very tired in a match, it may require a few days to recover. If player is very tired one match after another, it takes even more days to recover.
In the beginning of every season players come back after some holiday and their shape is usually "Almost prepared" (unless they were "Not prepared" even in the end of the season)
Possible values of shape and recommendations:

•  Not prepared - increase playing time;
•  Almost prepared - increase playing time;
•  Excellent preparation;
•  Tired - decrease playing time;
•  Very tired - decrease playing time.

Every player has a separate Health skill and its potential (indicates how good player is at maintaining good health). Player's health gets worse due to bigger age and injuries. When health skill is lower than 80%, chances to get injured emerge. The worse player's health is (smaller percentage), the bigger chances are to get injured. During training, instead of improving some skill, player's health can be improved - by participating in rehabilitation programs and fortifying health.
Also bad health can encourage players to end their career.

Skills for players of 30 years and over start decreasing. Skills degradation speed depends on player's health, type of skill, current value of skill, player's age and player's shape. The older and worse health the player is, the faster his skills decrease.
These older players can also be trained by setting training type. The trained skill decreases slower or in rare cases may even improve.

Skills can decrease up to these limits:

• speed, jumping - minimum 5 (if skill's potential is average)
• health - 5%
• offence IQ, defense IQ - skills do not decrease
• other skills - minimum 7

The above mentioned limits are minimum if player's potential for that skill is average. If skill's potential is bigger - minimum limit is also bigger, if skill's potential is smaller - minimum limit is also smaller.

In the end of every season health skill of all 29 year-old and over players decreases.

Basketball school's talents are trained the same way as all other club's players. Talents' experience grows a little every day.

 

Coaches' training

Club's coaches can also be trained. Manager can choose which skill should be improved.

Coaches' improvement speed depends on:

In the end of every season players may get improvement jumps (explosive improvement). In this case player’s potential decreases and skills increase. Players’ skills increase on the same extent as training effectiveness decreases due to smaller potential.
Whether player had improvement jumps or not, he will have similar RT when he is 30 year-old. However, due to improvement jumps he may reach high RT much earlier.

Jumps occur depending on player’s performance in international or youth league. Player can get improvement jump only on these conditions: 
1. player’s potential is >=5 and age <=27 years
2. in a season played at least 25 matches in his present (if league changed this season) international league (or 55 matches in youth league)
3. averagely played at least 15 minutes
4. player’s RT is smaller or equal to league players’ RT average
5. average player’s ranking in matches is 0 or bigger
6. average player’s +/- rating is -5 or bigger

Extent of the jump depends on the difference between his RT and league’s RT average. It determines how much potential will decrease and how many training points will be received.

Coaches can get improvement jump as well. It can occur only to head coaches that manage to win matches and that have lower tactical skills than league's average. The other criteria are not disclosed.

When improvement jump occurs, club’s manager has 2 days (63rd and 1st day of seasons) to select which player’s skills should increase. If manager doesn’t do it during the determined period, improvement jump doesn’t occur. Training points can be allocated only by the owner of the club which had contract with player that season and only if player stays in the same club for the next season
Training points for players that received improvement jumps can be allocated following the link sent in the private message informing about the jump or the link in player’s description page.

When assigning training points to the desired skills it should be noted that skills’ potentials also have influence on extent of the increase.
For example, if 100 training points are assigned to improve “Jumping” (with skill’s potential +10%), it will increase by 110 points. If 100 training points are assigned to improve skill with its potential -10%, it will increase by 90 points.

Marketplace

I bought a player from limited players' market but he doesn't appear in my team, why?
Player will only come to your team at the end of the season - on 63rd day. Teams get ready for the next season by signing contracts with players in limited players' market.

Why free players' market and trades are not available?
Free players' and coaches' market is opened on the 1st day of the season and is closed in the middle of the season (36th day of season). Then limited market is opened and is available till the end of the season.
Trading and releasing players is available only when free players' market is open.
More information about game's events may be found in help section: Date/Time of updates

In the market I offered too big salary. Can I cancel my offer?
It is possible to cancel offer given in the market UNTIL the day of decision (paid feature). It can be done in section: Marketplace - My offers.
Offers can't be cancelled on the last day before decision.

What does "Term" column in the market mean?
Player will choose the best offer (and sign contract) after the number of days indicated in "Term" column. If "Term" is [1], it means that player will choose the best offer at the end of the current day.

Why player decided to end his career unexpectedly?
Sometimes (rarely) players have to end their careers even if they are not old yet. If it happens during limited players' market, player informs the club he had chosen to play in - that he won't be able to join the team next season. After that season this player will disappear from players' lists (or may stay in some team's hall of fame as a player that ended career).
Players have to end careers unexpectedly in order to control the number of good (ex-denominative) players in the game. If a new team is created and closed quite quickly, its denominative player is removed from the game.
Also very low RT and potential players may understand that playing basketball is not for them and decide to end their careers unexpectedly (before they get old).

In advance contracts can be extended with maximum 3 players (coaches) per season. I still haven't extended 3 contracts this season. Why can't I extend any more contracts?
Contracts can be extended in advance with: franchise player, players (coaches) from scouts and one selected player (coach) that came from market (trades) (available once in 2 seasons).
1. Is the contract of your franchise player ending this season? If yes, this could be 1 of your 3 available extensions. If not - you still have 3 extensions available.
2. Have you extended contract with player (coach) that came from market or trades? This option is available once in two seasons. So, this season you may extend contract with 1 such player or with none such players (if you have already used this option last season). If you can use this option this season, you will have left 1 or 2 available extensions depending whether you extended contract with franchise player this season or not. If you can't use this option this season, you will have left 2 or 3 available extensions for the last option.
3. After using the above mentioned two options, all the left available extensions can be used for extending contracts with players (coaches) that have been found by scouts for your club. There will be at least 1 extension left for players (coaches) from scouts.
If you still have one or few available extensions but there are no players listed as available for extension - probably you have already used the first two options (or they are not available this season: franchise player and player (coach) from market (trades)) and there are no more players found by scouts with ending contracts.


Training

Why player doesn't appear in training?
When player changes team (market, trades, lending), he appears in training report 1 day later.

Why player is not in Excellent shape?
Shape is like a long-term tiredness. Everyday it moves towards Excellent shape. However, if player got very tired in today's match, it may take a few days to recover. Also, he may have not recovered from earlier matches. A player may be Not prepared, if he doesn't get enough playing time.
If player is Tired, you need to give him less playing time or you may need to give him a free day in order to get some more rest.
If player is Not prepared, you need to give him more playing time.


Finances

What does maximum sum available for personnel's salaries mean?
It shows the maximum amount that club can spend for salaries (players' and coaches'). It helps clubs to evaluate their financial situation but doesn't ensure that club won't go bankrupt. It is not recommended to spend this whole sum for salaries. Club's manager should observe that expenses do not exceed income.

Why is sum for renting arena displayed in 'predicted balance' section if I do not rent any arena?
Predicted balance displays club's anticipated income and expenses in the remaining part of the season. This prediction is not accurate because there may be unforeseen income/expenses.
When predicting income from matches, it is calculated approximately - how much club would get playing with average price tickets and in arena of appropriate size according to interested spectators. It means that this amount of income will be received if the predicted sum is spent on rent of arenas. If club decides not to rent arena, it will not pay money on renting arenas but will receive smaller income from matches (because some interested visitors won't get tickets in small home arena).

Why Youth team player's salary is not covered by sponsors?
There are various conditions that have to be fulfilled in order to get salary covered. All these conditions are listed in help: https://www.basketpulse.com/en/Pagalba-sarasas.htm#hlpanc_5068ae33ecb86
The list is quite big and managers often forget to check all items. Most often managers do not pay attention to these points:

• "Sponsor doesn't cover salaries for players that are good enough to play in the Main team. Full salary will be paid if player's RT is bigger than: Main team's average players' RT - 5%." Team's RT average is displayed in club's description page
• If there were some changes in the Main team's roster, its RT average may have changed. Or oppositely, the rankings haven't been updated at the time of paying players' salaries.
  "Average players' RT is used the same that is displayed in club's description page (RT average (with mouse over) in strength rankings, not team's strength). If players' salaries change but strength rankings are not yet updated, the average displayed in club's description page (strength rankings) is used - also not updated yet."
• Salaries' coverage in Youth team may have not been recalculated yet. So, you have to wait until it is done and check afterwards. Time of this event (and also other's) may be found here: https://www.basketpulse.com/en/Pagrindinis-diena.htm

Scouts

Why scouts often find very bad players?
There are not so many true talents that they could be found everyday for every club. Increasing scouts' financing increases chances to find a better talent but doesn't guarantee it (having spent certain amount on unsuccessful scouts' searches, guaranteed player will be found. More information about it may be found in help). True talents can also be found with 0 Eu financing but chances are smaller.

Why scouts find 14-15 year old player when I'm looking for older player?
If scouts are sent to find 16-17 year old player, they look for a player of this age. If scouts find a decent player (5 potential or higher), they present the found player for the team.
If the player is of very low potential and club has basketball school, scouts don't display report about the found 16-17 year old player and make additional search for player of 14-15 year old. Whatever scouts find during the second search, the result is displayed. In this case, scouts give second chance and make 2 searches.
If club doesn't have basketball school, scouts always show the result of the first search - if it is perspective or low potential (2-4) player.


Players

Can I change my player's position?
Yes, first and alternative positions can be indicated in Tactics-Positions section.

How can I register players for the match?
It can be done In Tactics-Tactics section. Manager can select which players should start the match and which should substitute them later.

How can I make my player a captain?
It can be done in player's description page. It is a paid feature. 

What does the red color in players skills' page mean?
Players marked in red can't be registered for the match on that day. They might be injured or they may have come to the team recently. The reason is written in player's description page.


Leagues

What are the criteria of defining standings in groups?
1) Number of victories
2) Number of victories in head-to-head matches
3) +/- points difference ratio in head-to-head matches (among the teams in tiebreaker)
4) Points scored in head-to-head matches
5) +/- points difference ratio in all group's matches
6) Team that was created earlier

What are the criteria of determining home advantage in play-offs and finals (National and International leagues)?
Home advantage is determined according to results of previous round:
1) Place taken in group
2) Number of victories
3) +/- points difference ratio in group's matches
4) Team that was created earlier


Other

Why I can't expand my arena?
Arenas can't be rebuild. Currently clubs can not own bigger arenas.
Clubs can rent as many arenas of desired size as they need.

Can I cancel contract with sponsor?
No, it is not possible. Contract with sponsor expires after its term ends or when club changes international league.

How long is the season? When does it start?
Season is 63 days long and it begins on the 1st day (comes after 63rd day of the previous season)

How can I ascend to higher division?
International tournament: https://www.basketpulse.com/en/Pagalba-sarasas.htm#hlpanc_2077
National tournament: https://www.basketpulse.com/en/Pagalba-sarasas.htm#hlpanc_2059

Why do I see this message in Trades (Lending) page: “Both teams are using the same computer/IP. “
The system automatically identifies teams that at least sometimes use the same IP address. 
It may be that users used the same public network - for example, in library, at school or at university.
Also sometimes mobile network providers give the same IP addresses to different users. 
This is an automatic system and sometimes the two users may not be related. Though the system doesn’t work perfectly, it considerably reduces the number of unfair trades. Therefore it is necessary and must be followed.

Today's 'MVP and TOP 5 players' are not selected in league's page. Outdated information in 'MVP and TOP 5 of the day' section.
Players from matches where one team smashed the other team are not considered for MVP or TOP 5 of the day. Even if the player was very good in court, he won't be selected for the TOP 5 (the team played against very weak team). Players to MVP and TOP 5 of the day are selected only from matches where point difference is equal or less than 30.
In leagues where all matches ended with big point difference (between the winner and the loser), TOP 5 and MVP of the day may be not selected at all and it may last for quite a long time. Usually such situation may occur in leagues with few active teams.

I try to change team's jerseys but the changes are not saved. What should I do?
Sometimes some users do not manage to save the new jerseys. In this case there are two ways:
1. Try changing and saving jerseys in other browsers.
2. Frequently save changes: change few elements (for example, colours) and save the jerseys. Click on Change jerseys (in Club's description page), make a few more changes and save again. Continue this procedure until jerseys are finished.
If you didn't manage to change jerseys in one day, write a letter to administration and we will be able to give you one more day for making the changes.

How is the RT average calculated in Team description page?
RT average is calculated from the 9 best team's players. If team has less than 9 players, the missing players are calculated as 0 RT.

Why THIS happened in my match?
Very often we receive questions and complaints about match engine or tactics. In order to answer these questions specifically, we need to analyze match in details and consume a lot of time. Unfortunately, we can not devote all our time and answer all these questions. Therefore we won't answer to such questions.
Questions that are unclear to a lot of users are answered in help section or this FAQ section. Please read them first of all.
If you want to understand better how match engine works, it is recommended to read topics in forum about match engine’s testing. There we try to answer questions that arise for testers.

Why shot quality is sometimes bad even in excellent situation?
Shot quality depends on various factors (shot situation, tiredness, tactics, etc.) Most frequent reasons:

• Tiredness
• Tactics - maybe the opponent is using tight or double defence. Team defence also has influence on shot quality.
• Various relaxation factors. For example, when team is winning by big points difference or if player missed a lot of shots he is naturally gets less attention.
• Number of fouls. For example, player with 4 fouls tries to play safely.

Why players spend different time on court than indicated in tactics?
The difference is very small (few minutes) when tactics are set logically and players don’t collect fouls too fast. If difference is bigger, pay attention to:

• are the 1st positions for starting five players set correctly (1 player for each position)
• do every position’s players get 40 minutes playing time in total
• are your players changed the way you want. If player plays in few positions, there is no way to set how many minutes he has to play in which position. Therefore sometimes player may play in one of positions longer and in other position shorter than you expected. Thus in the end some players do not get enough playing time. If team has 10 players, changes can be adjusted as wanted. However, if team has only 8 players, some problems changing players may arise.
• starting five players go to court in the beginning of each quarter and stay there for some time. Therefore, if starting players are indicated little playing time, they may play more minutes.

How substituting player is selected? How 1st, 2nd, 3rd positions indicated in tactics work?
When looking for substitution, primarily players’ first positions are considered. If player with the required first position has already played too long, a player with the required second position may be chosen. If team has enough players, in order to make players play the recommended time in his best position, manager may choose not to indicate second positions for players. In this case player’s main position could be indicated as first and player’s reserved position - as third.
If substitution is not obligatory, substituting player is searched with corresponding 1st or 2nd position (in priority order).
If substitution is made to follow the recommended playing time (partially obligatory), substituting player is searched with corresponding 1st, 2nd or 3rd position (in priority order).
If substitution is obligatory, substituting player is searched with corresponding 1st, 2nd or 3rd position (in priority order). If available player is not found, respectively player of adjacent position is searched.

Why player makes few shots even with shooting setting: “Whenever possible”?
The main reasons could be:

• player rarely gets the ball. For example, if team’s offence is “On guards”, big player gets the ball much rarer than guards. Therefore he has less chances to shoot.
• other players manage to find opportunity to shoot earlier. In this case, other players could be indicated less frequent shooting settings in tactics.
• even when shooting setting is “Whenever possible”, player won’t shoot if he is fully defended. He still needs situation sufficient to make a shot.

If team’s offence is set “On big men” (or on other link), why they still make only few shots?
The main reasons could be:

• Shooting frequency settings are too low. Even if player gets a lot of passes, he won’t shoot until he is in good enough situation.
• Other players manage to find opportunity to shoot earlier. In this case, other players could be indicated less frequent shooting settings in tactics.
• Player won’t shoot if he is fully defended. He still needs situation sufficient to make a shot.

Why the indicated method of team’s defence doesn’t work?
Correctly chosen tactics of team’s defence helps players to stay near their opponents. However, even with correctly chosen tactics it may be impossible to defend successfully if players’ skills are low.
It is recommended to pay attention to “Players skills’ ratio” displayed in match chronology, next to shots. If this ratio is in favor of opponent in offence, it is probably worth to think about improving defensive skills.

Why player with shot frequency set to “Necessary only” still makes some shots?
In this case you should pay attention to shot clock when the shot was made. Usually, such players have to shoot at the end of attack time disregarding their shot frequency settings. If such situations are quite often, you should try to ensure that other players shoot earlier during attack (increase shot frequency settings, increase pace, improve offensive skills).
Also, the number of such situations could be decreased if there is a player with role "Leader" in court.

Why my team, even being better, gets less rebounds?
In this case you should pay attention to: 

• rebounding skills of small players. In order to be good in rebounding it is not enough to have only big players with good rebounding skills.
• tactics selected for the match. Some of the tactics help getting more rebounds.
• rebounds in offence (not total number) is important when analyzing rebounding. Sometimes one of teams simply miss more shots, thus there are more opportunities to get defensive rebound. Sometimes users complain about lost fight in rebounds but actually it appears to be equal or even won (according to rebounds in offence).

What is the influence of player’s height?

• It is easier for tall players to fight for rebounds and play close to the basket.
• Tall players have smaller chances to be blocked.
• Smaller player can start moving and change moving direction quicker. It may be difficult for tall player to defend smaller and quicker player.
• The smaller player, the easier it is for him to dribble. Tall guards may often score more points but also make more turnovers.
• Smaller and quicker players can start a fast break quicker. So, if team has tall guards, their speed should be bigger.
• Taller players are able to fight better for position near the basket. Smaller player needs bigger toughness skill to fight with tall player.
• The bigger difference is between players’ height, the bigger difference is between their speed and toughness.
• A Small player can jump higher than a tall player. A tall player needs a better jumping skill in order to jump AS WELL AS a smaller player.

How to find out the reasons of loss?
In order to find out the reasons you will have to analyze your match in details. Sometimes the problems may be found quickly but sometimes it may require much more time. Pay attention to:

• Tiredness - maybe one team is more tired than the other. Especially pay attention to players with tiredness 80-100%
• Teams’ strength - maybe opponent is simply stronger? Strength rating may sometimes mislead, especially if team is playing with small number of players.
• Head coaches - maybe opponent’s coach is much better in tactics (or you even don’t have a head coach)
• Try to identify opponent’s tactics
• Try to analyze players’ statistics - maybe one of the players played very bad. Pay attention to: +/- ratio, ranking, turnovers.
• Try to analyze bad ranges during the match - maybe weak or tired players played at that time.
• Try to analyze shooting situations - maybe the ball doesn’t move well and players have to shoot from bad positions.

Why players didn’t make tactical foul in the end of match, though it was indicated so in tactics?
It takes some time (1-5 s) until players manage to “catch” an opponent and make a foul.
Same period of time is additionally needed if tactics indicate to “use pressing before making fouls”.
Another possible cause - team’s players may have collected a lot of fouls and only 5 players can play in court (others have already fouled out).

Does “Contesting shots” skill influence only the amount of blocks? What is the influence of "Defence IQ"?
“Contesting shots” skill shows how good a player is at disturbing opponent to shoot. Even if shot couldn’t be blocked, player with good "Contesting shots" skill still aggravate chances to attack successfully. Influence may be seen in players skills’ ratio displayed next to each shot in match chronology.
Similar situation is with "Defence IQ" skill, which may help to steal the ball. However, even if player didn’t steal the ball, he may have disturbed making a fine pass or intervened dribbling (including during drives to the basket).
Also it should be noted that there is always more than one skill important. Each action during match is determined regarding few related skills.

Why opponents shoot 3-pointers well even against man-to-man defence?
When using man-to-man defence players are rarely left free near 3-point line. However, man-to-man defence itself does not guarantee that opponents won’t be able to shoot 3-pointers successfully. Defensive players’ skills also have big influence. Quite often teams choose not to invest in purchasing players that will be good at defence. Poor players’ defesive skills may let opponents to shoot with good accuracy percentage even against man-to-man defence.
Sometimes managers pay attention only to percentage of accurate shots and ignore the number of total shots. The effect of man-to-man defence may be not only worse accuracy but also smaller number of 3-point shots (depending on tactics of team in offence).

Why match was played not according to my set tactics? Why starting players were different?
This may happen due to three reasons:
1) Quite often users make changes not in that tactics which is used during the match. Often users forget that they have set individual tactics for the match - not the standard tactics was used. Sometimes users inadvertently set individual tactics for the match (instead of using standard). Also sometimes users think that they made changes in standard tactics though they actually did it in individual match’s tactics.
2) Sometimes users save changes in tactics too late. If matches scheduled on that time have already been started to simulate, changes in tactics are not available (even if that match hasn’t started yet)
3) Sometimes managers set positions for starting players incorrectly. Also sometimes users do not notice that there are injured players or that foreign players’ limit is exceeded.
Before the beginning of every match the used tactics is saved, thus Premium users can always check what tactics was used in the match.

- Set plays will be done by a bigger range of players.
- After an offensive rebound, shot clock should be reset to 14s, even when there were more than 14s remaining.
- In the last attack sometimes teams started an early attack, therefore the defined tactics did not work.
- Reduced amount of turnovers significantly reduced the influence of dribbling skill. In order to compensate for that, we increased the influence of dribbling skill towards creating a better shooting situation.
- Increased possibility to repeat a shot straight after an offensive rebound.
- More often a fight for rebounds will take place in a close range.

— new event: The team wants to avoid deflections and will try to be more careful this period 
— new event: The team wants to avoid steals from opponents and will try to be more careful this period
– New limit included - how many more points one team can get from lucky shots (accurate/missed) compared to the opponent team.

2022-10-30
1.2
- New version released. All testing Match engine updates included (1.2.0-b.1 - 1.2.0-b.11)
1.2.0-b.11
- Bug fix: attack time violation repeats second time;
- Bug fix: full court press influence towards player's tiredness will depend also on playing time. It used to be the same for all players despite how much minutes they played;
- Increased home court influence;
- Included a safeguard for a player so that he cannot miss more than 30% of his shots due to being unlucky. The limit is applied for each shooting position (close/mid-range/three).

2022-10-25
1.2.0-b.10 
1.1.4
- Bug fix: shot attempted after buzzer event cannot be before the buzzer

2022-10-17
1.2.0-b.7
- Significantly increased the amount of deflections
- More deflections are expected when the team tries to pass the ball to the post (when the team uses 'low post' defense focus). Similarly, the effect increased for these types of defense focus: playmakers, leader by skills and leader by points.
- Bug fix: IQ influence in set plays have been reduced. It used to be a lot higher than intended. That way other criteria (such as defensive tactics) were smaller than intended. 
As set plays occur almost every attack, this update significantly changes situations after set plays and the overall outcome. We expect that more balancing will be needed in this area. 

2022-10-06
1.2.0-b.6
- Significantly decreased the 'random' factor in events of offensive fouls while driving
- Until now when player was 'making a drive' only his main defender used to get fouls. From now, other players will also be involved in defensive actions. Thus, others will also be able to get fouls or defend against a drive. 
- Decreased chances of getting a foul during a steal attempt. 

2022-09-30
1.1.3 Bug fix: second chance points were not calculated and did not appeared in the after match information page

2022-09-26
1.2.0-b.4
- A bit increased the amount of blocks
- Slightly reduced close-range shooting accuracy (especially, in good and average situations);
- Slightly reduced mid-range shooting accuracy in good situations.
https://www.basketpulse.com/en/News/article/63306b6e57c00/is-the-shooting-accuracy-realistic

2022-09-24
1.1.2 Bug fix: player with 5 fouls continued playing in court (foul received in the end of 4th quarter) 
1.2.0-b.2 Bug fix: player with 5 fouls continued playing in court (foul received in the end of 4th quarter) 
1.2.0-b.3 Considerably increased the influence of shot situation when shooting 3-pointers

2022-09-20
1.2.0-b.1 Free throws accuracy was a bit increased (especially for players with bad skills). However, with that we needed to remove experience influence on free throw shooting.

In press conferences managers can express their opinions on various aspects related with club’s management. Therefore, press conferences’ messages have to be tidy and informative.

Trades is an important feature of the game. Club is strengthened by players from scouts, players purchased in the market and also by trading with other clubs. To make sure that all users have equal opportunities, trades have to be controlled.

Every team has its trades restrictions' level. The higher level, the less restrictions are applied for team's trades. Restrictions for a trade are determined regarding both teams.

Players received over trades can not change team for 1 week (or more if FPC needs more time to analyze the trade).


Trades' rules that must be followed and respected by all users:

1) The main rule is that each user may only have one team – you are not allowed to have more.

2) Players' trade somehow has to benefit both teams (financially, in respect of team composition, etc).
You can trade a good but expensive player to a bit worse but cheaper player. You should not overuse this type of trade.

3) Players can be traded only to other players. Credits or other matters can not be included in a trade. For example, it is forbidden to trade a player to another player plus credits.

4) You are not allowed to just give away the “unnecessary” players to other clubs (you are not allowed to make any gifts, etc.). If you want to get rid of a player, you have to fire him.

5) All trades with a club that is bogus (a club that is about to be closed, a club that is made for “trash” storage, a club which trades are illogical, etc.) is considered to be cheating.

6) The punishments cannot be changed and will not be discussed. The club that is punished cannot say that the punishment is too harsh or unnecessary, they cannot try and prove their innocence in press conferences, etc.
Suggestions, what should be considered as OK and what should be considered as wrong, are very welcome in discussions with FPC in the second half of the season (after trades are closed). 

7) If some trade is clearly unfair, the administration keeps the right to punish the club, even though it obeys the rest of the above rules.

8) Providing false information about the player (for example: skills, experience, training information) in order to make a trade is regarded as cheating. The user that misleads is violating the rules and will be punished. However, the user that believes the false information can not expect compensation or recall of trade. When making trades users have to appeal to the information that is available in the game (approximate skills, statistics, etc.)

Do not forget a very obvious rule that applies throughout all the game:
Using defects, bugs or other mistakes in the game for your own advantage is also considered to be cheating. After noticing it, you should tell the administration about the bug, so they could fix it.


All information about players' trades is registered and archived. So if there is no single unfair trade, information can still be revised in the archives if team seems to be cheating. The club will then be harshly punished.
