We will attempt this switch tomorrow morning. There will be some downtime and possibly a bit of weirdness here and there within the time frame of appr 04 TM Time - 12 TM Time.
Opting for the side of caution; I\'m postponing transfers due to expire in this time frame.

In order to help users and also teamsters in their daily job, from now
on all forums will follow the same rules
Each forum will have 1,2 or 3 threads dedicated to transfer market. In these threads you can post
- players on sale
- open transfers
- players\' requests
It\'s up to the local FTs to decide how to organize threads. It could
be one single thread for all, or 3 different threads, or just 2.
All threads must be sticky.
There will be a period of transition. FTs will be asked to open transfer market threads as soon as possible. Accordingly, The old ones with the old rules will be closed.
The new rules have been decided with the precious help of the Forum Teamsters who took part at some interesting discussions in the FT forum. Thanks guys !
These are the rules
1) ONLY LOCAL PLAYERS CAN BE ADVERTISED/REQUESTED
Some examples:
- If you want to sell a spanish player, you can post him in the spanish forum AND/OR in the international transfer forum. You cannot post him in any other local forum, for instance in the Italian one.
- If you are italian, you can of course advertise brazilian players in the brazilian forum.
2) INFORMATIONS REQUIRED
The following informations are COMPULSORY. You must write, at least
a) player link
b) deadline
c) minimum bid
3) YOU CAN ADVERTISE ONLY ONE PLAYER PER POST
If you want to advertise 3 players, you must write 3 different posts.
4) BUMPING IS NOT ALLOWED
You can\'t advertise the same player more than once while his auction
is still ongoing.
5) ALL TRANSACTIONS, DEALS BETWEEN USERS MUST BE DONE IN PRIVATE.
PM the other user if you want to ask informations about the player on sale. Do not use the transfer market threads for that.
ALL POSTS NOT RESPECTING THE RULES WILL BE REMOVED, AND USERS RISK TO GET WARNINGS OR FORUM BANS IN CASE THEY BREAK THEM.

We have made room for a shop icon in the top menu. Hopefully this will boost our TM Pro numbers and this way you will all benefit as more pro members means more development :o)
The smart guys out there has probably already noticed that \"Stadium\" has been removed.
You will in the future find the content from stadium here.
Stadium -> Clubhouse menu
Facilities -> Clubhouse menu
Hire Staff -> Training menu

From 2010 it will no longer be possible to acquire the TM PRO Diamond package as it is known today with infinite TM PRO days.
People who already bought TM PRO Diamond, will of course keep it until forever.
We are thinking of making the TM PRO Diamond features available for people who buy a certain amount of TM PRO days (like 5 years), but we have not come to a decision about that yet.

Please be a bit patient with the new guy - he\'s a very nice one but he needs some days to understand how to handle all the stuffs ;-).

As you\'ve no doubt noticed, we\'ve removed the maximum limit on player asking prices and open transfer bids. We hope this will put more spark in the life of open transfers.
Further, importantly, the 10% bidding advantage now finally \'disappears\' when transfers are finalized.

We have ordered a new database server to replace the old one that started coughing yesterday, that, together with the new match engine that will be launched when the new season starts should make everything run smoothly.

Let me know if u experience any difficulties.

So today Woody finished the last part of the match engine. The national teams.
We have had a very long and efficient test run and we feel the engine is as bug free as possible before a release. Now the only work left is on me and thomas\'s part.
Here is a work list for the nerds:
-converting injuries and bans to the new method [no more missing injury reductions and stuff like that plus better performance in the match night]
- league update script changes.
- sync of databases
- finishing of the new chance texts acrobatic, to introduce a new type of finishes.
- the load save function in the flash lineup needs to be finished.
- test of livematch viewer.
[b]Release[/b]
Now the release is not entirely certain yet. It will most likely be when the new season starts because I am uncertain if the changes to the match viewers will make it impossible o watch old matches, and the new match format could mess things up in the season update. But it will be for the new season max. If it isnt ill give everyone a month of free TM PRO

You can see more details for your country, on the country page(!)
A few countries ended in a coin toss :(

Continuing from here
http://trophymanager.com/forum.php?topic=show&show=1224260
and having consulted with a few high profile users, we\'ve decided to move the voting deadline up. Hence, we\'ll stop the voting phase on Friday midday-ish TM Time, and start allocating the jobs, to give new NCs a chance to have a look around before Saturdays matches.
Good luck :)

Nhóm dịch thuật đã nỗ lực hoàn tất hầu hết các nội dung chính của TM. Bạn có thể lựa chọn ngôn ngữ của mình ở ngoài trang chính hoặc chọn phần \"thiết lập\" trong mục Trụ sở hoặc ở thanh tiêu đề bên dưới.
Sẽ thật tuyệt nếu có thêm một vài (hay một nhóm các nhà quản lý) có thể thường xuyên biên dịch phần tin tức TM (chẳng hạn như tin về việc bầu chọn huấn luyện viên quốc gia http://trophymanager.com/index.php ). Và cũng đừng quên, hãy cố gắng dịch thêm phần chances :))
Tuy nhiên, chúng ta đã hoàn thành rất tốt công việc, phiên bản tiếng Việt đầu tiên của một trò quản lý bóng đá trực tuyến sắp ra mắt!
Xin chúc mừng!

The voting phase has started. You can now place your vote for the lucky guy who will be in charge of your national squad for the next 2 seasons.
Go to your country page
http://trophymanager.com/showcountry.php
and look for the link on the right hand side of the page.
Good luck to all candidates !
NB: Voting will close at Sep, 28 0:00 TM Time.

So the match engine status now is.
We have fixed all the bugs reported in the federation for the new match engine.
Currently left is implementation of NT matches, and testing of cup matches (extra time + penalties).
Then a few update scripts and we are ready for a rollout :)

It has been a busy few days here at the HQ and so the updates to coefficients as well as the draws for the ICCs and the WC Qualifiers have been delayed a bit. I am glad to announce that all of these tournaments are now planned out and ready.
ICCs
http://trophymanager.com/cl.php
WC Qual.
http://trophymanager.com/nt.php

Now you can nominate candidates for the hot seat of national manager.
Go to your country page
http://trophymanager.com/showcountry.php
and look for the link on the right hand side of the page.
The nomination phase will last 4-5 days. Keep an eye on announcements for more info on the election process.

Welcome to season 17 everyone.
Our 300k+ clubs database was a bit of a heavy dancing partner. Anyway, here we are with a few \'details\' remaining:
- Player stats are generating as we speak. It will be some hours before profiles look correct.
- Historical matches will (hopefully) generate over night, making the head-to-head feature and trophy cabinets work correctly again.
Here\'s hoping for a great season for all managers :)
NB1: Don\'t ask about the new ME. It has nothing to do with season update. (Though, as should be common knowledge by now, it\'ll remain in testing for weeks to come.)
NB2: We\'re low on manpower for the coming hours. So, post any issues you might have here, and apply patience, please.
NB3: Before you post that it says season 16, try ctrl+f5, please.
Due to some human resource logistics, the season update will kick off a bit later than expected: Around 9-10 tm time on Monday.
However, I\'m optimistic that we\'ll be able to open the site Monday evening.
Cheers!

If you have a bit of change collecting dust in the club finance dep., I\'d recommend you search the transfer list for high ASI players. It\'s now bursting with national team players starting at ONLY 100,000,000!!
Happy hunting :)
If you have players to be saved, make sure they are in the squad Friday, 9 tm time at the latest, and I\'ll get them added.

Another season update is around the corner. It will go ahead on Monday the 14nth of September. Once again, we\'ll close the site very early on Monday - something like 0:30 am (tm time) - enabling us to start the generation of player stats and other heavy processes.
So, here\'s the schedule as things appear at this time.
The week leading up to the update goes like this:
- On Monday inactive teams are marked for all to see.
- On Wednesday the last round of league games is played.
- On Thursday the draw for the 1st division qualification matches is performed. Also, the NT Sale is started by national team players from banned and inactive teams being put on the transfer list with deadlines expiring all through the weekend;
** Youngsters (age less than 18) is included if and only if they\'ve had at least one official appearance on the national team.
** The maximum age for nt rescue is 30 (included.)
** Players from \'available\'/\'pending approval\' teams are not saved.
- On Friday division qualification matches are played.
- On Saturday the NT Sale starts.
- On Sunday the NT Sale ends.
The season update process will commence on Monday where the site will be closed (and transfer deadlines postponed accordingly.)
During the season update the following things are done:
- Player awards, top goal scorer, MVP and U21-MVP, are handed out.
- Player stats are saved.
- Players who have announced retirement retire and old players who will retire after next season announce retirement. Players start considering retirement at 32, while keepers consider it after they turn 33.
- Player injuries are reduced by 2-4 matches depending on med center and luck.
- Player bans are left as they are, but any surplus yellow cards, which do not amount to a full one-day ban, are deleted.
- Club stats are saved.
- League and national cup trophies are handed out.
- League and national cup bonus is handed out.
- Inactive and banned teams are deleted.
- Promotion and relegation is handled.
- League, international cup and NT matches are laid out.
- PMs which are more than 3 seasons old are deleted.
- Next season’s national stadias are decided. Capacity as well as facilities count.
- Youths which have not been drafted from the academy and who have turned 18 are deleted.
- NT coefficients are updated.
- The draw for next season’s NT tournament(s) is performed.
- International club coefficients are updated.
- The draw for next season’s international club tournaments is performed.
- Match reports are converted to a less space consuming historic format.
- Clubs with too few players in their squad receive \"crappy\" players to meet the minimum required, which is 20.
Good luck with the final match(es) of the season!
Sincerely
The TM HQ
As you\'ve no doubt noticed, the menu of TM has changed. Thanks to some nifty gfx work from Armann + some blood and sweat from me :) We\'ve now finally moved away from flash navigation (a web world no no!)
There\'ll no doubt be some weirdness in the beginning. But before posting, please try ctrl+f5.
Oh, also, the hover on the top-corner football will show stats again soon.
Cheers all.

The match engine has now started running on the test server. All pro members can gain access on test.trophymanager.com - you can still buy.
There is 2 million matches to be played, I have no idea of the time required for this process yet, so it might be a season every second day.
Right now match reports are a little bugged with some empty mentality texts (which also shows too many times), else please use our federation for the bug reporting.

It\'s been an all week epic battle. But finally we\'re about to open access to the test set up for PRO members.
More info will arrive in your inbox shortly.
If you buy PRO now you can still get access on
http://test.trophymanager.com.
Make sure you read the upcoming pm with full focus.
I can\'t say exactly when the first batch of matches will be played. Most likely not today. But you might be interested in checking the new line up selector.
Good Luck.

Howdy TM\'ers!
With the watchful assistance of TMHQ and some enterprising users in the USA/Canadian Regional forum, we have a fully-fledged upgrade to the Live Match Commentary that fixes a lot of bugs.
The Live Match Commentary is the line-by-line display of your TM match, as imagined by your radio or TV announcer, inspired by Martin Tyler, that legendary English broadcaster. But just as the broadcaster doesn\'t describe every touch of the ball and every player movement, you shouldn\'t expect the commentary to do this either. Don\'t get caught up in every word and every movement of the ball, because there are clearly missing movements. However, some things ARE stated in the commentary and you should watch for these...specifically: the attack type, finish type and all the relevant players. For example, you can read the attack type by the words: all wing chances use the word \"wing\" or \"cross\", all throughballs use the word \"through\"...the same for long balls, short passes and counters. In the same way, you should be looking for the type of finish: header, long shot or close finish.
And now to the players...here is where the original version of the Live Match Commentary fell short. The original version mistakenly omitted the defender about 20% of the time. Well, no more! No more missing defenders or absentee players on that mystery game-winning goal. Now when you want to know who to blame, the Live Match Commentary is there for you!
These fixes have been integrated in real-time over the last few weeks, so those of you paying attention may have already noticed. For those of you who love lists, here\'s our review:
* Added missing defenders to counterattacking, long ball, shortpassing, throughball and wing attacks.
* Fixed incorrect attackers on corners and direct freekicks.
* Sync injury types with match report.
* No more \"A bad miss by

The testserver is undergoing some serious fixes at the moment, it was a little too old to handle the pressure. I hope to have it all done by the end of the week, no matches are run at the moment, not even for diamond clubs.
Keep following the announcements to see more.
