GENERAL CONDUCT
-
Should you be found to be disrespecting the conduct expected on this site via ChatBox, PM or on the Forums, you will be banned from using them. This also extends to WhatsApp and any other social media
If you are seen to be disrespecting the chatbox, you will receive an indefinite ban from the chatbox.
If you are found to be disrespecting the PM system, you will be banned from sending pm's. An alternate way of sending your sheet in will be found.
If you are found to be disrespecting the WhatsApp group you will be removed from the group
If you are found to be disrespecting the conduct expected on a thread, you will be restricted to posting only in the match forums. This would also restrict your use of the academy.
If you infringe on two of these, you will reveive a site ban. In some cases, breaking only one of these might result in a site ban depending on the severity of it.
Should you then be found to still be showing no respect after you return, you will be sacked and permanently banned from the site.
Hopefully we can now see an end to the poor behaviour and lack of respect people are displaying on this site, and if not we will cut out those who aren't playing the game in the right manner. #

GENERAL RULES
-
1. Managers can only manage one team (with the exception of caretaker roles)
2. Managers cannot gain access to any other manager's account for any reason.
3. Managers must respect each other, and live by the conduct required on the forums.
4. Bullying will not be tolerated, and if anyone is found to be bullying another member of the game, they will be banned.
5. Managers are expected to post build-up and reaction to each game as well as a correct Teamsheet.
6. Each roster should contain a minimum of 20 players at all times. This ensures that you will be able to field a full 16 for each round of games. This is to be managed by the manager, and is not the responsibility of the Admin team. If either of your squads falls below 20 at any time you will have a week's grace period to fix it. If, after that your squad is still below 20, your BEST player (or a suitable equivalent as determined by admin) will be sold to the ATM and the funds will be used to fund ATM players to make up the numbers. Any extra cash from the sale of your player will be forfeited.
7. No roster should have more than 25 players at any time. This is to be managed by the manager, and is not the responsibility of the Admin team. If either of your squads moves above 25 at any time you will have a week's grace period to fix it. If after that your squad is above 25 a player will be selected at random to be auctioned or sold to ATM. The cash from the sale will be forfeited
8. As with everything on the site, Admin decision is final. Please respect this. #

1. Managers can only manage one team (with the exception of caretaker roles)
-
MATCH FIXING
-
If clubs are deemed to have agreed to play the same, or a specific, tactic during a game with the opposition manager, they will be deemed to be match fixing. This has happened in the past where managers utilise playing specific tactics for abs gains for their players.
If clubs are found to be match fixing they will be punished with having the abs gained in that match removed. If clubs are seen to be repeatedly match fixing, they will be further punished with points reductions.
We realise this has happened in the past, but we believe it is becoming more common, and needs to be punished. #

-
TRANSFER RULES
-
1. Once a transfer has been agreed by both clubs, it cannot be cancelled unless both managers agree to terminate the deal.
2. Posts in the Transfer Confirmation thread cannot be edited, so that managers cannot change a bid after they have both confirmed.
3. Transfers are updated between Sunday morning and Monday night. This is the only transfer update per week.
4. Clubs are able to go into debt to sign players, but will be given 1 week to get back out of debt. Should a team not clear the debt in this time, the Admin team will either auction a player, or if the debt is too great, place a transfer embargo and points deduction on the team instead.
5. Transfer fees need to paid up front.
6. All deals posted at the time of the transfer update will be processed unless a specific deadline has previously been announced.
7. Deals should be posted to go through unconditionally once accepted (not if my roster size is XYZ)
To clarify, this includes deals where a player is signed from a club and sold back to the same club at a later date where there is a clear benefit including - but not limited to - getting round loan limits or gaining temporary funds to provide a higher budget for an auction. If this happens the admin will consider that the original deal was made with conditions which is a breach of the above rule.
If this occurs, both clubs will forfeit any transfer fee in the deal and the player will be moved to the ATM with no sale fee.
Should any clubs use this to benefit from a loan deal then both clubs will - in addition to the above sanction - forfeit the relevant loan slots (in or out) for the remainder of that season or, if found in breach of the rule between seasons, the forthcoming season. Any other loans that are no longer valid because of this will be returned and the recall fee charged to the infringing club.
8. You can sell a player not in your roster (e.g. out on loan, about to sign etc.). However, please ensure the thread that brings that player to your club is posted first. Deals are processed in order of posting. If the threads are posted out of order, the deal may not be processed.
9. Please ensure that whichever squad the player you are trading is in is clearly specified in the thread. e.g. if a player is in the U21s, make this clear. If an U21 sale is posted as a sale from the senior squad, this may not be processed in that transfer update.
10. Threads should start with a prefix for the type of transfer - Transfer, Loan, Promote, Demote. As per above, the rosters the players are coming from and to should then be made clear.
11. More regular updates may be run at specific times of the season (pre-season, auctions etc.) These will be on an ad hoc basis if there is a need for them. #
-
1. Once a transfer has been agreed by both clubs, it cannot be cancelled unless both managers agree to terminate the deal.
-
LOAN RULES
-
1. A team can have no more than 2 players in on loan at any one time (unless under 1b below). It is the responsibility of the manager to ensure that they do not exceed this limit, and not that of the Admin.
1b. A team may purchase up to 1 additional loan slots in using credits. These slots last for one season only, and are still subject to rules 3 and 5 below.
2. A team can have no more than 2 players out on loan at any one time (unless under 2b below). It is the responsibility of the manager to ensure that they do not exceed this limit, and not that of the Admin.
2b. A team may purchase up to 1 additional loan slots out using credits. These slots last for one season only, and are still subject to rule 3 below.
3. If a team is found to have more than 2 loans in, or out (or the number they have purchased up to), they will lose their respective loan slots for the remainder of the season. For example, if you loan 3 out and haven't bought extra, you will lose your loan slots out for the rest of the season.
4. Players on loan can be sent to the Academy.
5. There are stat caps for each division that a loan player must be under:
Premiership:
No limit
Championship:
22 keepers
20 defenders
20 midfielders
22 strikers
6. “Loan swaps” are now banned. If you loan from a club with a player going the other way there must be an agreement to play both players for an equivalent amount of minutes. Failure to do so will see both loans terminated and penalties incurred.
Reminder that this rule applies here:
"Deals should be posted to go through unconditionally once accepted"
To clarify, this includes deals where a player is signed from a club and sold back to the same club at a later date where there is a clear benefit including - but not limited to - getting round loan limits or gaining temporary funds to provide a higher budget for an auction. If this happens the admin will consider that the original deal was made with conditions which is a breach of the above rule.
If this occurs, both clubs will forfeit any transfer fee in the deal and the player will be moved to the ATM with no sale fee.
Should any clubs use this to benefit from a loan deal then both clubs will - in addition to the above sanction - forfeit the relevant loan slots (in or out) for the remainder of that season or, if found in breach of the rule between seasons, the forthcoming season. Any other loans that are no longer valid because of this will be returned and the recall fee charged to the infringing club. # -
1. Loans must be posted in the following format:
Player:
Club From:
Club to:
Loan End Date*:
Loan Conditions**:
*Loan end date - simpler than duration of loan. This is the specific date at which the loan ends. Could be "after league game 13", "EOS", "transfer deadline day" etc.
**Loan conditions must be populated even if it's with "None". **Loan conditions must be populated even if it's with "None".
Conditions must be clearly measurable around game time (e.g. x minutes per game, play 90-90-70 etc.).
Conditions specifying an early recall are not allowed
2. A forum will be maintained with loans in and out. Loans to end each week will be posted in the transfer confirmation thread. Managers can choose to extend loans of course but a new end date must be supplied.
3. If a club chooses to end a loan early they must pay a fee to the loaning club. This will be £1m for every league game that the player is being recalled early with a minimum of £10m
4. If a club significantly and through their own fault* breaches conditions as agreed, the parent club can recall the player early at their discretion at the time of the breach. The side in breach must pay the fee to the parent club at the same levels as above.
*significant = a major shortfall. Agreeing to play a player for 2 full matches and then 60 mins is not a breach if they play for 2 matches and then 59 mins. But playing 2 matches and then not featuring would be
*through their own fault = if a player doesn't meat criteria due to injury or suspension that is not a breach
5. A missed sheet is not a breach of loan terms in itself (unless stated in the conditions that the manager must sheet every game). However, if a loaned player doesn't play a game due to a T this may be a breach.
6. The loan agreement is with the club, not the manager. Therefore if a manager leaves a club, there is no option to recall as long as agreed conditions are met. All the above rules still apply. #
-
1. A team can have no more than 2 players in on loan at any one time (unless under 1b below). It is the responsibility of the manager to ensure that they do not exceed this limit, and not that of the Admin.
-
AUCTION RULES
-
1. Only Admin can start an auction. To put a player for auction, PM Eduardo, Will, Nocky or Darlington with the player and a starting price
2. Once a bid is made that meets the starting price the auction will end 12 hours from the latest bid if no further bid is made
2. Players cannot be removed from auction until after 48 hours, if no bids have been made above the asking price.
3. No "Buy it now" prices, and minimum bid increment is 0.25m.
4. Bids cannot be withdrawn unless agreed with the selling party.
5. If the winning bidder successfully withdraws their bid, the next highest bidder will win the auction as long as their bid exceeds the starting price.
6. Admin will post the completed auction in the Transfer Confirmation thread for both managers to confirm. #

1. Only Admin can start an auction. To put a player for auction, PM Eduardo, Will, Nocky or Darlington with the player and a starting price
-
SCOUTING RULES
-
1. Teams can buy scouting packs from the TDE Shop
2. To scout a player, purchase a scouting pack by posting in the "Purchases Requested" Forum under "Members Shop"
3. You will then need to "Build your scouted player". Rules for this will be posted in the scouting forum under the members shop
4. Once you have worked out your requirements you need to PM Eduardo who will send your scout out
5. Your scout will reply to the PM with a player selected from our database
6. Please do not ask for specific players, a players list has been created purposefully for scouting
7. Maximum limit is one senior scout and one youth every season #
-
1. Teams can buy scouting packs from the TDE Shop
-
ATM RULES
-
The ATM (Automated Transfer Market) allows managers to buy and sell unwanted players for a set fee, simulating transfer activity with clubs below TDE level and allowing those in the lower leagues to raise cash.
Selling to the ATM: Rules
1. To be eligible for the ATM a player must be:
Aged between 19 and 34
GKs rated between 17 and 21
Defs and Mids rated between 15 and 19
FWs rated between 17 and 21
Any player aged 31 or over is ATM eligible
2. A 17r GK, 15r Def / Mid or 17r FW aged 22 or over has a flat value of £5m or the value of their secondaries and age - whichever is higher. There is no deduction on these for any side - Prem or Champ
3. Main stat fees are then as follows:
18GK / 16 DF or MF / 18 FW - £0m
19GK / 17 DF or MF / 19 FW - £15m
20GK / 18 DF or MF / 20 FW - £30m
21GK / 19 DF or MF / 21 FW - £45m
22GK / 20 DF or MF / 22 FW - £60m (can only sell at these ratings if aged 31 or over)
23GK / 21 DF or MF / 23 FW - £75m (can only sell at these ratings if aged 31 or over)
24GK / 22 DF or MF / 24 FW - £90m (can only sell at these ratings if aged 31 or over)
4. Main stat abs then pay at the following rates (from 18GK / 16 DF or MF / 18 FW):
1-99 - £0m
100-199 - £1.5m
200-299 - £3.0m
300-399 - £4.5m
400-499 - £6.0m
500-599 - £7.5m
600-699 - £9.0m
700-799 - £10.5m
800-899 - £12.0m
900-999 - £13.5m
5. Seconds start paying at 9 - however these are now priced at 1 second = £4m (Basically 1 main = 3.75 seconds)
9 - £4m
10 - £8m
11 - £12m
12 - £16m
13 - £20m
14 - £24m
15 - £28m
6. Tertiaries pay at half the rate of secondaries - triple rated mids don't get silly that way and triple rating on Defs and FWS very low value.
9 - £2m
10 - £4m
11 - £6m
12 - £8m
13 - £10m
14 - £12m
15 - £14m
7. Age counts for nothing between turning 22 and turning 31.
16 - £10m (for reference for scouting only)
17 - £8m (for reference for scouting only)
18 - £6m (for reference for scouting only)
19-21 - £3m
22-30 - £0
31 -15% off final value
32 -35% off final value
33 -55% off final value
34 -70% off final value
8. Once you have calculated your player's start value as above, you then adjust as per the following:
Premiership Club: -20%
Championship Club: No reduction only - this applies to the first 6 players sold to ATM in a given season - Should a club sell post a confirmation of multiple players which will take them over this limit the more expensive player(s) will be subject to the reduction.
Between seasons, "Championship Club" applies to the 14 clubs who played in the Championship the previous season and the 3 relegated clubs. (Between seasons is classed as from the final match of one season to the first match of the next)
The waiver of the 20% reduction is subject to the following conditions:
No club may sell a player for straight cash lower than the price at which they can sell to the ATM
A Championship club (including promoted and relegated clubs) may buy from a Premiership club at the lower ATM price. However, should that club wish to sell the same player to the ATM in the same transfer window, that player WILL be subject to the 20% reduction or the fee at which the player was signed - whichever is the greater
9. The selling process si as follows
- As with purchases if you want to sell to ATM you list the player as an auction in the atm forum.
- The ATM makes the opening bid of the ATM price
- Auctions end 12 hours after the last manager bids or 24 hours after the atm bid OR at a transfer deadline (such as for an auction or EOS)
- No auction may therefore be posted less than 24 hours before one of these transfer deadlines
- Caretaker clubs may bid on players listed by the managers main club or vice versa - they are allowed 1 bid only and it has to be the first one after the atm (so managers can't push prices up but can have a chance to get players that would be useful for their caretaker side) and it can only be £250k above ATM price
- Once an auction is posted that cannot be withdrawn so the player will be sold
10. No club may sell more than 3 players to the ATM in any given transfer update
Buying from the ATM
1. A list will be posted in the transfer forum
2. If you want to buy a player, post in the list thread and admin will create an auction. Your club will be the first bidder at the ATM Buy price which you can work out above. You cannot withdraw interest or a bid once the auction has been posted by a member of the admin team.
3. Starting price will be the price calculated in by normal ATM pricing + 25%
4. Bid Increments are £250k
5. The auction ends 12 hours from the highest offer if no increased offer has been made #

RETIREMENT RULES / LEAVING THE GAME
-
1) A player will retire from TDE at the point they turn 36
2) Retiring players are marked with an "R" on the roster pages
3) Aging takes place once in a calendar year (every 2 seasons)
4) Aging - when a player turns 20 they will automatically be removed from the game if they are on or below these ratings:
Goalkeeper - 16 and below
Defender - 14 and below
Midfielder - 14 and below
Forward - 16 and below #

1) A player will retire from TDE at the point they turn 36

GENERAL TRANSFER RULES
-
The transfer market on TDE is a complex place with several quirks. Here is a quick overview for new managers:
Player age is a big factor due to age re-rates and retirements. The older a player the less he'll be worth. Once a player gets over 32, his value starts to drop very quickly
Secondaries are also worth considering. Some managers equate 3 secondaries to 1 main stat. Therefore a 25-13 could be valued about the same as an 26-10
Different positions are valued very differently due to supply and demand with in the game. As a general rule the below applies:
Goalkeepers - Expect higher ratings than other positions. A GK is worth about the same as an outfielder of 5 ratings less.
Defenders - the most valuable players on the game due to lack of availability. Worth a bit more than mids but equivalent to a striker up to 2 ratings higher
Midfielders - DMs are worth slightly more than AMS. All rounders fetch the most value. Worth more than strikers but less than defenders
Strikers - the most common asset on the game so worth the least. Expect to swap a striker for a player of at least 1 rating less.
Of course these are all subjective and different managers have different values. Because of this, it can be quite prudent not to just complete deals having PMed one manager. Unless it's a good deal, it can always be worth advertising the player on the wider market to see what else is going.
If in doubt on any deals, a member of the admin team is always willing to help.
How to conduct a transfer
1. Contact a manager via PM or Transfer List thread
2. Negotiate the deal. Remember to be open to negotiation in every deal!
3. Once the deal is agreed, the manager must post the transfer in the Transfer Confirmation thread
4. Once the deal has been posted, the other manager will confirm that the deal has been accepted
5. The transfer will then be processed on the next update #

- Once a player exceeds the maximum skill or age limit, and all slots for overskilled / overage are used up he will be promoted to the first team.
- It is a managers responsibility to ensure that the above rules are adhered to - any manager found to break these rules will be punished - the punishment will range from a fine, to removal of abs.
- Transfers of under 21s are allowed, but please make it very clear in your Transfer Confirmation which roster the player is in e.g YNO rather than NOR

Rules
- Can increase abs in main or secondary skills using the total pool available to your side
- Can be used on any player aged 21 or under in your senior or youth squad
- However, no youth abs of any description may be added to seconds of a player over the limit in main
- The maximum abs any player can be raised to using these abs are as follows:
GK: 22r 500 abs
DF: 20r 500 abs
MF: 20r 500 abs
FW: 22r 500 abs
18yo
GK: 21r 500 abs
DF: 19r 500 abs
MF: 19r 500 abs
FW: 21r 500 abs
17yo
GK: 20r 500 abs
DF: 18r 500 abs
MF: 18r 500 abs

16yo
GK: 19r 500 abs
DF: 17r 500 abs
MF: 17r 500 abs
FW: 19r 500 abs
15yos may NOT be improved with prize abs
Maximum Secondary / Tertiary are (with a maximum of 500 abs on the limit for any stat):
Defenders: 12 Passing, 8 Shooting
Midfielders: 12 on Tackling or Shooting, 10 on the other
Forwards: 12 Passing, 8 Tackling
With Midfielders:
- if 1 stat is over 10 already you can only advance that one towards 13 (e.g. a 6-16-11 you can't put any secondaries on tackling)
- if both stats are 10 already you can only choose 1 to advance
- if both stats are above 10 already you can't advance either (e.g. an 11-16-11 can't have secondary awards)
Youth Contracts
On the seasons when players age up (every other season), you can offer a “Senior Contract” to a proportion of the 19 year olds (ONLY 19yo) in your squad AFTER age upgrades are done.
The amount of contracts you have to offer can be based on the volume of 19yo that you have rated 17 and above for GK and FWS and 15 and above for Defs and Mids
1-3: One contract to offer
4-6: 2 contracts
7-9: 3 contracts
10+: 4 contracts
When you offer a player a “contract” they receive an upgrade of either:
- 2 main stats up to a maximum of 20r (def mid), or 22r (gk, fw) with a maximum of 500 abs (ie a 19r def with 900 abs will go to a 20 with 500 abs)
- 1 main and 2 seconds
Maximum Limits for increases are (with a maximum of 500 abs on the limit for any stat):
GK: 22 Main
DF: 20 Main 13 Passing 9 Shooting
MF: 20 Main 13 on TK or SH, 10 on the other
FW: 22 Main 13 Passing 9 Tackling
With Midfielders:
- if 1 stat is over 10 already you can only advance that one towards 13 (e.g. an 6-18-11 you can't put any secondaries on tackling)
- if both stats are 10 already you can only choose 1 to advance
- if both stats are above 10 already you can't advance either (e.g. a 11-18-11 can't have secondary awards)
These are full stat upgrades and cannot be split into abs. You can take either contract but can’t exceed the max main stat
Youth Prodigy Contracts- You may now combine 2 contracts to offer to one player as a Youth Prodigy Contract (as long as you have at least 2 to offer).
- You can only offer 1 of these per season so, if you have 4 contracts to offer, the other 2 must be allocated normally.
