It was left to me as the other two are away/busy hence the silence
I have been struggling a little the last few days

[wolfberries]

When does the experience for international tours get added to the players?

I'm sure I remember it being earlier than the normal training updates(Maybe Sundays), then again that may have been many years ago and it could have changed since then.

Cheers

Should be Sundays @0:02

Also for this upcoming EOS, will all div 6 & 7 leagues be removed?
And since the numbers in Aus and Eng leagues have dropped, will it be opened up again to allow new teams to join and teams to transfer to?

[GM-crowfan65]

it appears easier to remove leagues after the new ones have been created so we should be able to knock them out during the off week.
We may open up Aus/Eng to move to but possibly not for new teams just yet
I think we were hoping that teams at the lower end would be closer to 100 before we did it

"The weekly ageing will occur at the weekly finance update before training"

A query about this-

Since the player ageing and orders locking for YT20 take place at same time so will the orders take care of players turning 22? I mean like will we be allowed to pick the players turning 22 that day when doing orders or will the code calculate that the player will not be eligible and hence not allow to pick him? It might screw the orders for many if they don't keep checking players age everyday when suddenly someone else is playing.

Firstly it is 21, I don't want to confuse people

And what we have done is add in a promotion date (at the start of the week for all players) so if the game starts after that time the player won't show up in the list to select, even if the game is next week or a few weeks in the future

thanks and yeah my bad- 21

Are there any plans in the near future to create leagues for Bermuda, Kenya, UAE and USA with Div6+ being closed for the big nations ?

Not enough players yet is there? Better to have fewer active leagues than lots of inactive leagues!

Certainly agree with this, nowhere near enough teams for this yet.

Only just seen the changes. Do you feel you have now made the transfer market overly complicated for the casual players?

No I don't think so? The player age will say years and weeks, so it couldn't be much simpler. In real life you wouldn''t meet someone hear they're 20 and assume they'll turn 21 on 1st January.

You could say it has made the TM confusing until the EOS change actually happens, but that's like a few weeks... so can't complain

Once again I agree with this, makes perfect sense for this to happen and as you say any confusion will be small and very short lived.
