Rule 1 - Team Submition

· For all league games, the team must be posted before 8 o'clock on a Friday evening.
· Teams for league cup and FA cup games, must be entered before 8 o'clock on Tuesday evenings.
· Teams for UEFA cup and Champions league matches must be entered before 8 o'clock on Tuesday evenings.

TPD v LOC teams must be submitted before 8 o'clock on Wednesday evenings.

If this isn't done, then I will enter your second choice team to face you opponents. You will as a result of this lose the match. If both managers fail to enter their team then the result will be a goalless draw. Cup fixtures will NOT clash with European fixtures so do not worry.

Rule 2 - Swearing

As some managers with previous experience may know, geocities do not appreciate abusive language being used on the message board. If swearing were to become constant then geocities would close the board. So please do not swear. If you do happen swear, I will instantly fine you £1. If it becomes repetitive I will fire you.

Rule 3 - Respect

You must at all times respect other managers and the board. This does not however mean that you cannot taunt other managers, in fact this is encouraged. But please do not be personal when you are taunting. If I believe you are being personal I will fine you £2m. If you are disrespectful towards the board, then depending on the abuse directed at the board, you will either receive a heavy fine which could include a point deduction or you may be fired.

Rule 4 - Transfers

Transfers are to be carried out on the message board. If you are new to transfers then these are the steps to take when you wish to carry out a transfer.
· In the subject box, please enter either the player that you wish to purchase, the managers name of that certain player(s) or the team name that the player play's for.
· In the box below, please enter how much you would like to purchase the player for, or, enter the preferred method of transfer you would like to carry out (player + money swap) etc…

When doing deals with managers, you are able to involve 3 players maximum in a swap deal for another player(s)

If you wish to know the price of a player outside of the league, please post a message asking the board the valuation of that certain player.

Once a transfer has been accepted there is no going back on the deal.

If a club decides to release players on a free, then all other clubs from the league are entitled to take these players but are only allowed to sign a maximum of 3 players from a club per month. This is so that everyone gets the chance to bring in some new faces.

Rule 5 - Debt

If you over spend and go into debt, you will have three days to remove your debt. If you fail to do so you will be fined 4m by the league, however you will then have another 3 days to attempt to remove the increased debt. If you once again fail to remove your debts you will then be fired as manager of the team.
