Battrick » Rules

There is an active transfer system operating within the Battrick world where you can buy and sell players from and to any club in the world.

Selling Players - The only way that you can sell players is to place them on the transfer list. This can be done from the player’s page. On the right there is the option to sell the player. All you have to do is enter in an asking price, the lowest that you are prepared to let him go for, then click on sell. He will then be added to the transfer list with a deadline for bids 3 days after you listed him.

Once a player is on the transfer list, all his stats and abilities are available for all to see! Over the three days you will get notification of any bids that have been made for him. If there are no bids in that time, then after the 3 days are up, he will simply come off the list and stay in your squad. However, if you do get some interest in him, then he will leave your team shortly after the deadline has passed. At the same time you will receive 95% of the fee (5% being taxed) which will appear in the Miscellaneous section of your finances.

If the player was in any orders for upcoming matches, or in your default orders, he will be replaced by another player in your squad automatically, so be sure to check this.

If a player is on the transfer list, you can still select him to play in your team. If the deadline happens to come during a match, he will still play that match for you, but leave the team immediately after the match has finished. His details may well even be updated during the match as his registration changes hand.

There are two limitations to what players you can sell though. You must have a minimum of 14 players in your squad at any time, so bear this in mind when trying to sell anyone. It will take account of any players you already have on the transfer list. Secondly, when you buy a player, he signs a minimum 6 week contract with you. This means that you cannot put him on the transfer list until he has completed 6 weeks with the club.

A warning to you though! Make sure you are happy with what you are doing. Once a player has been placed on the transfer list, there is no way to take him off. If you accidentally list someone, then the only way to ensure he stays with you is to outbid anyone that bids on him.

Buying Players - Before you can buy a player, you really need to find him. The best way to do this is to browse the transfer market which can be found in the Global menu. You can use the transfer form to filter the list down to the type of player you are interested in. Once you find a player you are interested, click on his name and you will be taken to his player page where you can see all his up to date details. You can make your bid for him on the right. You must raise the bid by at least £1000. You can bid on a player right up to his deadline, but if there are any bids within 3 minutes of the deadline, then it will be extended by 3 minutes from the last bid.

We ask for you all to play by the rules on the transfer market. You must not overbid on a player to give money to another team. Gamemasters have the ability to fine clubs that are caught doing this, and even ban them if necessary.
