KickAbout Rulebook

For those players who do not wish to trust their turns to the fates of the postal service or who wish to receive their sessions back by e-mail where they can watch their teams games played out kick by kick, we have the fantastic Kickabout tool that is Shomatch, developed for us by long time player Paul Sutton. ShowMatch allows you to view the results of your matches from the previous session in a tele-printer style. Watch the match unfold before you as the minute by minute commentary is displayed accompanied by the roar of the crowd as the ball hits the back of the net. The program definitely makes the game even more gripping for the real masochists amongst you!

Please note that you will need to pay Spellbinder a small fee to have the ShowMatch updates emailed to you. This fee is currently £15.95 and covers the whole season for as many teams as you run (i.e. if you have three teams in three leagues the cost is still just a single payment of £15.95).

Also built by Paul Sutton, Teampick is a computer program that takes all the hassle out of filling in your session sheets, with an inbuilt error checker that will highlight any serious omissions etc known as the Assistant Manager. TeamPick is an integral part of the game now, and the vast majority of players use it, it is simply brilliant and makes filling in your turn sheets a joy, and even better it catches your mistakes for you, it is also free to download at the following web-site:- www.teampick.co.uk

One of our ‘senior’ players Tim Dodge has created this useful little program that once installed extracts player details from your Showmatch updates.This remarkable programme acts like your own chief scout. It allows you to monitor and track the composition of your opponents squads. It automatically and meticulously reads through the various resources available within the Showmatch updates (transfer news, auction results, international squads etc.) sent to you after each session. It extracts the data and then files it away ready to be used before that vital big match. It is also free to download at the following web-site:- www.teampick.co.uk
