Global and always on. The World League is a competition every manager can join. It runs as a four tier pyramid (The Crown, The Chase, The Climb, Division 1) with promotion and relegation between tiers at the end of each season.

Twice a week. Matches are played on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 20:00 BST, picked to suit as many time zones as possible.

You join near the top. New signups join at the highest tier where humans currently sit, displacing the bottom AI club in that division. You inherit the AI's remaining fixtures and start with a fresh 0/0/0 record.

Leave whenever you like. Leave the World League at any time from Club Settings. A fresh AI club takes over your slot so the rest of the league can finish the season. Past results stay attributed to your club, your league row freezes with a Withdrew badge, and rejoining places you back in the same tier you withdrew from rather than at the top.

Find it at /world-league. The dedicated hub lists every division, the top three of each, and your own row when you are a member. The Join button on the hub takes you straight in.

Invite-only. Private leagues require an invite code, perfect for playing with a specific group of friends or running your own competition.

You run the show. Create your own from the Leagues page and share the invite code. You set the match days, kickoff time, and frequency. Every entrant joins by entering your code.

Up to 2 active clubs. You can run up to 2 active clubs at the same time. Useful if you want one club in the World League and another in a private league with friends, or if you fancy trying a different philosophy without giving up your main team.

Each is fully separate. Switch between your clubs from the sidebar. Each club has its own squad, finances, tactics and league standing.

Format scales with size. Tiny leagues of up to 4 teams play a triple round-robin (three legs) so everyone still gets enough games. Leagues of 5 to 7 teams play a double round-robin (home and away). From 8 teams up it depends on the schedule: one matchday a week gives a single round-robin, while adding a midweek match day gives a full home and away double round-robin.

Points. Win = 3 points. Draw = 1 point. Loss = 0 points.

Tiebreakers. Standings sort by points, then matches played, then goal difference, then goals for. The matches played tiebreaker keeps a freshly joined club from sorting above teams with a longer record on equal points.

Size limits. Leagues need a minimum of 4 teams to start, up to a maximum of 20.

Season prizes. At the end of the season, the top finishers earn Rivs prizes that scale with league size. Per-club rates: 1st 2,000 Rivs × clubs, 2nd 1,000 Rivs × clubs, 3rd 500 Rivs × clubs. Every participant gets 300 Rivs × clubs.

It enters Pre Season. When a private league season ends, the league sits in a Pre Season state. The champion banner stays up, the standings stay frozen on the final table, and clubs stay attached so the same group can run the next season without having to reinvite anyone.

The admin restarts it. The admin starts the next season from the league admin panel when ready. Fixture creation pauses until then.

No manual End Season step. The auto-finalise fires the moment every fixture has played and released.

From Club Settings. You can leave a public or invite-only league yourself at any time from Club Settings. No need to ask the league admin.

Before the season starts. Leaving during registration or pre season is free. Nothing is recorded and you can join another league straight away.

Early in the season. If you leave having played fewer than half of your matches, your record for the season is expunged. Results against you are removed from the table and your remaining fixtures are cancelled.

Late in the season. If you have played half or more of your matches, your results stand. Every remaining fixture is awarded as a 3-0 win to your opponent, so nobody misses out on points just because their match against you came late in the calendar.

Cup ties too. Any unplayed cup ties are awarded 3-0 to your opponent so the cup can continue without you.

The World League is different. Leaving the World League hands your spot to an AI club that plays out your remaining fixtures, so there is no forfeit rule there. Your frozen row keeps a Withdrew badge, and if you rejoin later you re-enter in the same tier you left from, with a fresh 0/0/0 record.

Write about your league. Publish articles such as match reports, transfer rumours, or opinion pieces.

1 article per day. You can publish one article per day per league.

You get paid. Publishing an article earns you 300 Rivs.

Short edit window. Articles can be edited within 30 minutes of publishing. After that, they are locked.

Every league has a chat room. Managers can talk to each other there.

Members only. Only managers whose club is in the league can send messages.
