This is the place to monitor and track that everybody is playing fair and respecting the rules, especially ZERO EFFORT RULE.

http://www.theolympuscircle.cf/competition/general-rules

Read the page carefully! In the case of any questions, read it again. It's that simple.

Those who will not respect these rules and the privacy and honor of other managers will be trashed to tears.
I recommend you to watch this thread regularly.

The main principle of this private league is the ZERO EFFORT RULE. This means, that every Friday after your regular league matches or on Saturday before the first private league matches you MUST set your tactics to use zero effort.

I repeat. You are free to use any tactics, but that tactics MUST use zero effort.



What does that mean in practice?

1) During the private league match, your players (and your opponent's players) run very slowly on the pitch
2) Stamina of the players drop slower comparing to regular match (not more than 8 stamina points)
3) After the weekend, your players are fresh and you can play your regular league/cup matches in full strength
4) During the match with zero effort tactics, your tactics matters much more than players average (you can understand and define your tactics much better)

Rules:

1) ALL teams and players in this private league are monitored
2) After EACH match in EACH group in EACH team is EACH player monitored and analysed. Results are posted here after EACH round.
3) MAXIMUM allowed stamina spent in one match is 9, NO player cannot exceed the limit
4) Under special circumstances, when player's fitness is below 99, a stamina may exceed the limit. Such cases are dealt individually
5) ANY manager who violates any of the rules 1 to 4 receives a warning - violation point
6) ANY manager who gets 3 violation points is DISQUALIFIED and since that time everybody else is allowed to play on full effort when playing with that team. Under extremely serious circumstances, a team may be DISQUALIFIED immediately.
7) Don't try to outsmart these rules/mechanism and play fair. If you forget to set up your tactics, own it and apologize. Lying and writing stories does not help things. We are here to help each other, not to cheat. Remember that everybody can see who and when was online.
8) If you cannot set up your tactics (you are out of internet, on a vacation, detained) keep PL admins informed about it at least 24 hours in advance.
9) If you think you cannot follow these rules anymore (you don't like it, you have no time anymore, etc) inform PL admins in advance so that they have time to prepare necessary communications.
10) In the case of any doubts or other suspicious activities of other managers open a discussion in this thread.

Things to watch:

1) ALWAYS set your tactics to zero BEFORE Saturday's match. Make sure, that you adjust your advanced tactics as well - turn off the rule that change your tactics to non-zero tactics. If you have poor memory (like I do), set your reminders on your mobile phone or PC.
2) The only exception to point 1 is when you are facing disqualified team - in such case you are free to play at any effort. Watch this thread to see who is disqualified.
3) Don't forget to switch back to your regular tactics after Sunday's private league match
4) Keep your team wealthy conditions, keep your team's fitness at 99

Hey. That's not funny! Take care that you get back into the limit like you did last season. You could have hurt your opponent's players. Take all the necessary measures, so that this does not repeat again.

ALL of you have ignored the rules and did not adjust your tactics. I will close one of my eyes as this was the first round. But if you want to stay with us, start following the rules. I want to remember you, that it was YOU who agreed to play according these rules, so behave accordingly and respect others who have decided to play fair.

Jeez!

At the start of this fine PL, having 7 violators is not a nice one. I'm sure a couple few of the violators were online before the match.

And dear new members, you can't afford to become a Black Sheep this early.

Please abide by the rules. Please.

c'mon guys, don't be lame. It's really easy to adjust your effort to 0. Ronnie even gave screenshots! You will NEVER make it to C league if you can't figure this out.

Just as a little reminder, those who accumulate 3 violations expose their team to having everyone else being allowed to use however much effort they like against them.

From experience I can say that those who chose to play over 0% here must therefore compete at high effort 5 games a week, and for 4 consecutive days from Friday to Monday. By the end of the season, those teams with small squads have had to buy a whole new B squad to cover the loss in first stamina and then fitness. Those teams with large squads were unable to compete on two fronts, and often had their promotion campaigns ruined. (1)

Playing high effort 5 times a week puts strain on injuries, stamina, and fitness, and then when they ultimately begin to lose, morale and motivation drops too.

Add to that potentially losing 41 trading partners at around the same level as you, and I really question why some teams think it's worth it.

Fun fact - in 2 seasons, and with 4 different groups, only one team (Dream Team) has ever won prize money while exceeding 2 violations, out of 12 total prize winners. (2)

Source 1 - http://en.strikermanager.com/historial_temporadas.php?id_liga=65102 and check what happened to Dream Team
Source 2 - http://en.strikermanager.com/liga_privada.php?id_liga=66272

As you can see, Dream Team, who is our "most successful cheat", threw away his chance of promoting to Div 3, so he could win 2m.

Main bullet point to this seminar - don't cheat, it's not worth it. All those who are now on 1 violation must now pay extra attention to their actions for the rest of the PL to avoid falling into the same situation.
