==== The League ====

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.
