Basic knowledge
To play ManagerLeague, there are a few points of basic knowledge you need to understand.
You are only allowed to play 1 team
It is against the rules to play or access more than 1 account, regardless of the reason. You may not create accounts for anyone and you may not help someone and log into their team while they are on vacation. One man, one team. Plain and simple. We will delete your teams if you have more than 1, so don't say you were not warned.
The League System
Every team in ManagerLeague belongs to a League, a Division and a Department.
A department is a group of 16 teams playing against each other during a season.
A division contains 1 or many departments, depending on which division it is. The league-system in ManagerLeague looks like a pyramid, with only 1 department in the top division, 4 departments in the second division, 16 departments in the third division and so on.
A league is simply all divisions belonging to a league, for instance The English League or the Norwegian League. One league is "special", and that is the "International League". This is a "common league" for players from countries who have not yet obtained a league for themselves. When we reach a certain number of players from that country, a new league will be created, and the teams from that country can then move into that league.
So, to describe where your team is playing, you can say something like:
"I'm playing in the International League, in Division3, Department 4"
Speed
ManagerLeague is a fast paced game. Every weekday, there are two league-rounds. It is important that you read the chapter about Seasons and time.
Credits
Credits is a term that is much used in ManagerLeague. A credit is a token currency you can use to do special things in the game, like playing friendlies, joining or creating cups, exchange it to in-game money and a lot more.
Credits are also what pays for the development, hosting and running of ManagerLeague, as you can purchase them for real money if you run out.
Every season, you will get a number of them for free (currently 15).
In addition, you can earn more free credits if your players win "awards", like the best youth, top-scorer and so on. There are plenty of awards handed out every season, so it is not that hard.
You can also win credits if your team is promoted or wins a cup.
You can also exchange in-game money to credits, if you have too much money.
