Hello
I've thought about this since last season, and since it's finally the beginning of a new season, it's time to get this started. For the most part, the managers that train most efficiently their Romanian trainees, will receive supporter packs as prizes. The goal is to motivate and to reward high quality training.
This contest is similar to the ones LA-zajino made a few seasons back.
The rules are the following:
1. any manager (Romanian or foreign) that trains young Romanian trainees that have the potential to be in the Romanian U21, or already are, is free to participate;
what does the potential to be in U21 entitle ? the player age between 18 and 21, and his training must be (or must have been) started at the age of 18; the player needs to have a minim potential of allstar (6), and a minimum draft salary of $3000 (or something very close, like $29XX);
2. the managers that want to participate should send me a mail -
(105971), with the players' skills, including DMI (complete the form below); in the case that a manager submits his entry but his player/s do not meet the minimum requirements he will be notified that he can't participate; otherwise, he will be entered automatically;
managers that don't register will be taken into account as well, however their chance of winning is much slimmer, since the evaluation of those players can't be done in an efficient manner;
3. every Friday, after the training update, registered managers should send me a mail with their players' updated skill sets, including DMI (to estimate the increase of their sub-skills in case there’s no skill pop); they will receive a number of points according to what skills or sub-skills have increased; I will publish these numbers soon;
4. in case a player won’t have played at all in a week, due to injuries, he will receive a quarter of the points received in the previous week; in case he plays between 0 and 45 he will receive half;
5. in case a manager doesn’t send the new skills within a week, they will be updated after the next training update; in case he’ll be late for more than 3 weeks, the skill pops from the missing weeks will have a 10% penalty;
6. a manager who trains more than 1 eligible player, will have the points from all of his players added to his final score;
7. during the all-star break, some preliminary results will be posted; during the off-season, the whole data will be analyzed by the U21 staff and the results will be posted;
8. the U21 staff can’t participate in the contest, due to obvious reasons;
Prizes:
I – 1 years of supporter
II – 9 months of supporter (3x3)
III – 6 months of supporter (3x2)
IV – 3 months of supporter
Registration form:
Manager name:
Team name:
League, country:
Player name & ID:
Player skills (including DMI):
The last 2 rows will repeat in case of multiple players.
Note: please complete the form in English.
Advice:
- a higher level trainer and doctor will yield better results (of course you need to consider your economy and possibilities; there’s no point in hurting your team only to increase your chances of winning);
- train as much as possible on 1 position (with the exception of certain skills that can be only trained on 2);
- consider balanced training (taking into account secondary skills as well); even for inside players, skills like handling and passing count a lot;
- when playing someone outside of position for training purposes, make sure to set in the tactics page that he plays defense for his original position;
- keep your game shape as high as possible (8 or 9);
This contest applies only to U21, because it’s an experiment; if successful, next season will be expanded to the senior national team (it will include players over 21).
With that, I wish good luck to anyone who will participate.
