No, not the 1 million new users in 7 days, but it’s Monday afterall, so... fingers crossed! This new milestone is huge, although noone actually asked for it :) How huge it is? If you are not interested in taking part in them it will not change your life. If you are interested in taking part... it will not change your life either. But if you spent last 3 weeks working on it really is huge, it’s like having a smaller game hidden within bigger game.
Well, anyway - indoor championship is the new huge change to Football-o-Rama. It was one of the elements that was planned from beginning, but there were always more important things to take care of. There still are more important things to fix in the game, but indoor tournaments are here anyway. This part of the game was inspired by German competition from 1990s and early 2000s called DFB Hallenpokal.
What is it all about? Each week 6-a-side indoor tournaments will take place on Wednesdays, each with 6 teams taking part. You can join up to 5 of them each season, you will have to assign at least 6 players to your indoor team and select separate lineup. The tournament is split into group stage, in which 3 teams will face each other once, top two teams will play in semi-finals and two winners of semi-finals will play in the final. Each tournament has prizes for best teams - winner gets the amount listed in the calendar, the finalist will get half of the amount and each semi-finalist will get 10 per cent. Also winner of tournament will get 5 points, runner-up will get 3 and semi-finalists will get 1 point to the indoor championship ranking. At the end of the season top 6 teams that gathered most points in tournaments will take part in Masters Tournament, in which the prizes are much higher.
Why would you want to take part in indoor championship?
1. you can earn money
2. it is chance for players that have no chance to play in league or cups to get some experience
3. matches are completely different and require different skills, so even if your team is struggling in the league your players could be great in indoor tournaments
4. because someone, who will remain nameless, spent 3 weeks working on it and you feel sorry for him
The tournaments are already drawn for current season, first will take place in 2 days, visit My Division > Indoor Championship for details.
Frey United SoftwareDuring tests on Saturday I have detected a problem with account / club creation on the public copy (account does not switch correctly the status, allows inactive user to parts of the interface it should not), was hoping it is easy to fix, yet on Monday only some of them are fixed. New restart date is Wednesday, if the problems will continue we will start the season without option for new users to join.
Frey United SoftwareThat is all I have to say - random disaster, few hours without electricity, happy times all around :( Should be done with the restart by the morning, but taking under consideration how well everything went so far in 2024 something weird will happen anyway, so I moved the start of the season until Friday.
