1. Game Rules

1. Introduction

Hattrick is a football game where you get to lead a virtual football team to glory, in competition with other participants all over the world.

You perform the duties of both a club owner and manager. You buy and sell players, invest the club's money in utilities like a bigger stadium or the youth squad. You select a team from the players who are in top form at the time, plan your tactics before the next match, decide on what sort of training is needed, and much, much more

You can keep yourself continuously updated on the state of your team by logging on to the Hattrick website, reading your team reports and checking out the latest news on the transfer market. This is also where you give your team orders for upcoming games and where you decide on how the team will train during the week.

2. Applying and Activating

This is how you get a Hattrick team. The first thing you need to do is apply for a team on the Hattrick site. Hattrick has a limited amount of teams available and has previously had a waiting list as long as three years. Getting a team will be a faster procedure in the future, but we can´t guarantee you´ll get your team the same season you apply for it.

If a Hattrick team is available, it will be activated when your application has been approved by our Gamemasters - expect this process to take a few days or so. The waiting period allows us to remove applications of teams and owners previously barred from the game, or from owners submitting a second team. Duplicates and obviously non-serious applications are also removed.

Existing owners can lose their teams, making room for new players. There are a number of reasons why an owner is sacked, these include not giving your team orders during the last months, despite reminders, or because of bans due to cheating or violations of our "House Rules".

When you take charge of the team, the old players are exchanged for new ones. In addition, the bank account is reset with all old debts being cleared, a startup sum of cash is available for use, and the stadium is remodelled. In many ways the team will be new, but you´ll start off at an already existing slot in the league system. As a new manager you may need to spend some time repairing the damaged caused by the previous owner.

Only teams playing in the two lowest divisions can get new owners during the season. If a team playing higher up in the series system is abandoned, it will fall through the series system until it reaches a level where a new owner can take over.

You´ll find the waiting list by clicking the "Sign Up" button.
