When you join KICKABOUT you will either be managing a brand new team in a new League or, more likely, taking over the management of an existing one. In the former case you will be randomly placed in one of the four divisions created for the new league and, at the end of the season, the top three teams from each division will form Division One for the following season, the second three teams forming Division Two and so on.
If you join an existing League you will either takeover an existing team, or you may have the opportunity to start with a new team at season’s end in a lower division (where you can build up your strength free from the power of that League’s leading teams).
In an existing league each twelve-man division will operate a three-up, three-down system of promotion and relegation at season’s end. Goal difference will separate clubs on the same number of points, while if this fails to separate them, then the team that scores the most goals will be placed higher. At the beginning of the season you will be provided with a complete fixture list of all your League matches for the coming season so you know who you are playing in the league in each session and can make your team selections accordingly. Also, details of all the other teams, plus their manager’s contact addresses are provided along with your fixture list, so that you can make deals and arrange friendlies etc.
