Hi Guys ,


http://en.strikermanager.com/foros/hilo.php?id=429942-

Rule -8) Any action that deliberately weakens your team can be punished. This includes, but is not limited to: selling your team to fewer than 11 players, buying or selling outside of market value, playing a weakened line-up or formation to manipulate standings. If another team benefits from these types of actions, that team may also be fined or punished.


1-Selling Out the Players - We have been witnessing last season for example in Div1 -more than 3,4 teams decided to sell out . This usually happens in Div1,2,3 .Selling out the players is a strategy of the manager and nothing is wrong with that unless he keeps 11 players and the games are not suspended . However the timing of such a decision definitely impact standings of the group It has to happen either before first leg games or second leg games .Otherwise it results in manipulation of the standings .
At least a public pressure should be created and everybody should be aware of the consequences.

[@vgates comments: There is no rule as to when a manager may sell out. There are, however, rules against harassing or intimidating other users. Forum posts designed to pressure other managers may fall afoul of those rules.]

2-Playing games with weakened line up /formation –
All users from time to time may make mistakes with the formation/tactics -forget to switch from PL/Friendly to League etc .
However if the situation starts to repeat with the same managers in the same group several times it results in frustration due to manipulation of the standings .
There were many threads last two seasons/accusations about game fixings due to weakened line up/weakened formation/tactics/lower effort etc .

[@vgates comments: A manager suspecting a breach of these rules should report the complaint using the bomb button and not post in the public forum. Furthermore, if you often feel yourself seeing a boogyman behind another managers game, perhaps you should take a break from the game for a spell. If you are relying on manager A to beat manager B because of where you are in the standings, your time is better spent examining your own formation for areas you could tweak to improve your standings. Can you imagine ManU complaining that Liverpool threw the match for Leicester because Liverpool aren't going to win the league anyway and they are friends with Leicester and wanted Leicester out of relegation?]

Lets refer to another information from the Rules

**Note that the Fiscals and Moderators are individuals with their own obligations and with limited time, and are not necessarily employees of U-Play Online. Therefore, they are not obliged to answer or to take into account the comments received, nor give explanations on the measures they deem necessary to ensure the accomplishment of rules. However, they will try to do as far as possible or reasonable within the limits of the game.
http://en.strikermanager.com/foros/hilo.php?id=479092-@vgates post informs us how to do a complaint .

[@vgates comments: Proper complaints are necessary. If you simply put "multiaccounting" the complaint is likely to be dismissed out of hand. Now if you say, manager A admitted to me in a mail that he is multiaccounting AND you can screenshot that for me, now I have something to go on.]

I request all users to contribute actively -and use the complaint button and send the suspicious games to @s Apart from that we can only hope that they will try to evaluate the cases in a fair way .

Famous arguments ; I don’t have time , I had no access to internet bla ,bla ,bla !!!
Don’t ruin the game , if you don’t have time to play it properly , leave it and let others to enjoy it .

[@vgates comments: remember, it's a game. Don't let your life become the game. Play how you like, within the confined of the rules, and enjoy it as a game. No one's getting elected FIFA president because they won Div 1. You don't get a t-shirt anymore for winning the cup. ]

Users should not keep silent witnessing a case and they should report it to support a clean game and fair competition .
