The subscription can be done any time of the year by filling out the registration form.
Each person can subscribe only to one team and can take part in all fantasports. You can start subscribing to few fantasports and later to others.
3 months after your subscription you will be requested to choose whether paying the fee or continuing for free. of unsuYou can delete
the subscription any time you wish. The subscription fee is valid for the whole year and cannot be refunded in case bscription, as it is used for covering the current expenses of the site.
You can buy options on athletes: an option costs 20% of the value and gives the priority to
buy a player; as soon as another team makes an offer on the athlete, this right must be exercised within
the next auction. This limit can be lowered only if the president has setup one of his 4 weeks of holidays.
The option which, as in normal contracts, lasts a year, can be sold to other teams, but it is not counted in the amount
of the maximum number of athletes and in the salary cap.
The credits spent on the option are a fondo perduto, which means that they are not subtracted from the cost of the
athlete.
You can temporarily park your contracts, in order to make
an offer on one or more athletes without breaking the contracts before knowing the result of the auction.
The parked athletes cannot be lined up and are not counted in the salary cap and in the number of athletes of the team.
They may be put on the injury list though, sold or loaned to other teams but they cannot receive offers from other teams.
The parked athletes can be restored for free at any time if the bounds of the number of athletes and salary cap are respected.
A team that, on wednesday at midnight, is in the state "Not Blocked" and has athletes parked in a fantasport,
enters the state "Blocked" in that sport.
A blocked team cannot make new offers or deals, nor restore options or park athletes.
In order to exit the "Blocked" state the team can, at any time, get rid of the parked contracts
(breaking, selling, loaning, putting them on the injury list or restoring them).
A team that, on wednesday at midnight is in the Blocked state will have all the parked contracts broken and
will be put back in the state "Not Blocked".
You can insert in that list a number of athletes equal to 10% of the roster (rounded up),
for a period corresponding to half season, getting the refund of the wage during the suspension.
During that period, though, the athlete cannot be lined up in any competition and cannot be restored before the
expiration of the injury time. What is more, the contract cannot be broken while the athlete is on the injury list.
Any athlete can be inserted on the injury list, it does not matter if or how injured he really is. If the athlete, though, should get
points, he will be immediately removed from the ijury list and converted into an option.
On the contrary, when leaving the injury list at the right time, , the athlete will be parked and may be
immediately restored into the team.
Teams can loan atlhetes to each other; the length of the loan cannot be lower than 1/3 of the season and
no loan can be set in the last third of the regular season (excluding playoffs/playouts).
The athletes on loan are still owned by their original team, but count in the number of athletes and salary cap of the receiving team.
When the loan is over the athletes will be parked and, may be immediately restored into the team.
Every Wednesday at midnight, there is an auction with all the
offers.
In case of single offers, the cost of the contract will be 0. In case of multple offers the athlete will be assigned to the team that made the best offer and the
contract will be paid 1 credit more than the highest beating offer.
In case of equal offers, the one offer made first wins.
The offers for buying an athlete are always winning over offers for options.
Athletes not included in the database may be requested by presidents. All the athletes requested
within Tuesday will be available for the Wednesday auction.
No athletes can be requested, inserted or suspended on Wednesday.
The calendars are published as soon as they are available. All the presidents must check them on the site.
For each fantasport only the competitions listed on the calendar published on the site will be played.
The lineup must be set within 24:00 CET of the day before the competition;
It is possible to set up the lineups for all the following competitions in the season at any time.
A single lineup is set for each competition. What is meant by "competition" is the single row shown in the calendar
of the fantasport: it may last a single day,like football matches, or a week or more, like tennis tournaments and
cycling races. In any case the lineup is valid for the whole competition and cannot be changed after it starts.
Each athlete may be in different lineups, even if the competitions are overlapping.
In the rules of each fantasport it is specified if and how changes can be made.
If not shown differently, the substitutions are made by role, which means that each athlete is substituted by the first
reserve that plays in the same role.
At the end of each competitions credits are assigned, according to the specific tables
in the rules of each fantasport.
The amount of credits earned corresponds to a same amount of points which are counted for the rankings.
In the general rankings all the points of each fantasport are summed up, proportioned to the level of the
division where the teams play (for the divisions B the points are divided by 2, for the C divisions by 4, etcetera).
Each season ends with the last competition of the season and that is the limit for the final ranking.
The general rankings count the points earned in the calendar year.
All the athletEs on loan or on the injury list are automatically restored into the team.
Each team gets a renewal request at the end of each season.
If a team does not renew its subscription within 30
days, all contracts are broken and the players are free again.
For each fantasport where the subscription is not renewed the team loses the 5000 credits
received as subscription contribution.
The structure of the divisions is piramidal
(this means there are 1 Series A, 2 Series B, 4 Serie C...). Each division with the same letter (B, C...)
is on the same level.
The number of relegations is normally 1/5 (rounded up) of all the teams subscribed to the league; the number of promotions
is obviously equal to the number of relegations in the upper league.
The number of teams promoted and relegated in each division may change in case of incomplete divisions;
the places will be proportioned to the number of teams subscribed in each division at half season.
At the start of a season anyway a limit is set at 2/3 of the teams subscribed, which guarantees that, whatever
happens later, the teams within the limit are not relegated anyway.
After promotions and relegations, in case a division is incomplete because of withdrawal, the best ranked teams of lower divisions are called up.
While promoting and relegationg, the multiple contracts are solved. All the contracts belonging to teams from lower divisions are broken if the athletes were under contract with teams of the upper division, including the ones of teams moved to other divisions or withdrawn.
Between the end of a season and the start of the following one the leagues are blocked for about 30 days.
During this period the subscriptions are closed and the costs and roles of the athletes may be modified;
The roles are based upon the ones on the official sites, but can be modified by a pool of experts appointed by the federal council
for each fantasport; during the season roles may be added to some athletes, while roles can be deleted only during the blocked period.
If a team does not respect the minimum requirements within the start of the league, it is striken off the league.
The control power is up to the Federal Council, made of 5 members: a regular one (the webmaster
Claudio Mantelli), and another 4 members elected every year by the users that have been registered for at least 1 year
and have subscribed at least to 1/4 of fantasport with or without a calendar.
In case of withdrawal or absence from the council for over 3 meetings, the missing members will be substituted
by the candidate with the sixth larger number of votes according to the voting.
controversies about the points of an athlete, lineups or anything else must be communicated to the
email address shown in each fantasport, within 1 week since the competition was updated. From then on, every
result, even a wrong one, is definitely acquired.
Controversies about lineups must be sent BEFORE the start of a competition.
The Federal Council and the webmaster have the final decision on every aspect of the rules or on any controversy.
