Idiiot:

I added the middle two paragraphs from a text file I had saved. Someone in the conferences wrote it up and I thought it was pretty good. Can someone organize it so it flows a little better? I'm not sure how to do it without changing the focus of the article. Also can someone create an external link to Hottrick's keeper tool? Thanks. - 5:05 AM, 17 December 2005(UTC)[[Idiiot / Idiiot]]

Total Skill Index

2005-12-16T04:57:44Z

Idiiot: Check Talk

The '''Total Skill Index''' (or '''TSI''') is an official measure of a [[player]]'s abilities. The formula used for the calculation is unknown, but several somewhat successful attempts have been made in approximating the true function. It is rumoured that [[HT-Bjorn]] proclaimed he'll change the TSI calculation formula as soon as someone figures it out.{{ref|ref1}}

Obviously, the higher TSI, the better. But it isn't very accurate because an average all around player (inadequate in a few positions) would have a higher TSI than specialized players (excellent in only one). It increases with training and it can increase and decrease with [[form]]. Sometimes your TSI will drop even though your form does not. (That is a background form change for example when you go from a high passable to a low passable form level. It doesn't show up as a form change but you dropped a sublevel)

TSI for goalies is a different matter. The highest TSI for a goalie the better. Since a goalie only specializes in one skill it can be measured and you can see how close your goalie is to the next level by entering your TSI into http://www.hottrick.org/hattrick_keeper_tool.php. Also keepers have higher TSI than their specialized equavalents.

A common theory is that both form and stamina have a multiplying effect on the TSI, whereas the other skills (for keepers, goaltending only) contribute as a sum of exponential functions.

The [[Set Pieces]] [[Skills | skill]] doesn't affect the TSI.

===What is the Question to the Answer of the Meaning of TSI?===
{{note|ref1}} Just_Y note: Really, REALLY sorry to barge in with non-HT related stuff, but I am obliged to quote "The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy" by Douglas Adams, stating before the begining of "The Resturant at the End of the Universe" at one side of the page -

"There is a thoery which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizzare and inexplicable."

Then you flip the page.

"There is another thoery which states
that this has already happened."

You ought to agree that the Estimated Player Price was much more explicable than the TSI.. The base of TSI must be 42.

Idiiot: Typo

Sometimes [[players]] get injured and there is not a lot you can do about it. Even if a teams has many [[physiotherapist]]s, injuries do still occur.

The time for injuries to heal ranges from +1 to +9 (note that the + sign represents the red cross you can see in HT if a player is injured). Note that allthough the injury time is displayed in weeks, the actual healing time may vary. This is primarely dependent on the age of the player. The older he gets, the longer it will take to heal. The weeks displayed are just a standarized indication of the severeness of the injury.
You can hire doctors to speed up the healing process. Physiotherapists will help players prevent injuries in the first place.

A player can not play as long as he's injured and his name will show up red in the [[Rules#Orders|match orders screen]]. If you do try to field him anyway, he will be replaced be a substitute as soon as the match begins. When he's close to recovery (+1) he is able to follow training, but he can't appear in matches yet. Once he's really almost recovered he gets a bandage next to his name instead of the red plus. Now he can play matches again and his name will show up black again in the match orders screen, but he will perfom slightly below his capacities. Once the bandage is removed he's back to his old level, that is if he did get a major form crisis in the meantime.

Several [[Helper Applications#Web Sites|sites]] and [[Helper Applications|helper applications]] offer tables or calculators to predict how long an injury will take to heal. Here are some popular sites:

2005-11-28T04:57:14Z

Idiiot:

The article should be completely reworded, as it's false. (I can't do it because I'm sleepy.) Anyway, a rather common thing is to place a winger as extra forward, and a forward as extra winger, to retain 4-4-2 with 3 IM. That's two repositionings, but it's not an "extreme formation" (who thought of the name, anyway?!). Another somewhat common thing is to place one wingback as extra forward, one as extra inner midfielder, and one forward as extra central defender, to get three central defenders in a 3-5-2 (to combat 3-4-3 WTM AIM teams). That's three repositionings and a legal, valid, experience-receiving formation. Again, please change the article, it presents false information. --[[User:Catalyst2950|Catalyst2950]] 23:32, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

I took out the category link, as it makes the formation category look silly, and this information stands on its own.

Should someone add something about 0-7-3? It's a pretty infamous extreme formation. I would but I don't know that much on the subject --[[User:Idiiot|Idiiot]] 04:56, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

'''Host:''' [[Nederland]]

'''Winner:''' [[Sverige]]

'''Second:''' [[Canada]]

'''Third:''' [[Nederland]] & [[England]]

From the beginning it was very clear that [[Sverige]] was going to win this World cup. All of their players (including legends like [[Thomas Björnsson]], Roger Hagmo and Ulf 'Opp' Johansson) were at least two levels better than the best players of the other countries. They devastated [[England]](with [[Craig Wozniak]], Stephane Beaumont, Neil Jelleyman and others) in the semi-finals, 4-0. [[Canada]] won the thrilling semi-finals after penalty's against hosting country [[Nederland]], with among others superlegends [[Klaas Evers]], [[User:Casartelli/Kornel_ten_Berge|Kornel ten Berge]] and Gerben Alting van Geusau. In the final, Canada (with national legends like [[Herman Ife]], [[Simon Ferguson]] and [[Scott Rummens]]), held the Sverige team down to a 1-0 half time lead. However, the divine midfield of the heavily favoured Sverige team eventually started to bear fruit, and Sverige won the WC with a well deserved 4-0 win.

Arena

2005-11-26T04:45:55Z

Idiiot: Fixed spelling and grammatical errors

Every team needs an arena where they can play their home matches. Your job is to build your arena as big as needed, but not to build it too big, because you must pay taxes every week to keep your arena in shape. There are four types of stands:
* Terraces (most spectators will come to these so build these most),
* Regular seats (spectators who want some comfort when watching game buys these, these are second most used so build these a lot too),
* Seats under the roof (these are for people who want see match as comfortable as possible, still relatively a lot of spectators buys tickets for these seats),
* Seats in VIP lounge (only important spectators, like sponsors use these seats, thus you need to build only few of these)

===Default distribution===
<table width="200" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr><td>Total capacity:</td><td>12000</td></tr>
<tr><td>Terraces:</td><td>8000</td></tr>
<tr><td>Basic seating:</td><td>3000</td></tr>
<tr><td>Seats under roof:</td><td>1000</td></tr>
<tr><td>Seats in VIP boxes:</td><td>0</td></tr>
</table>

===How to build===
When building your Arena you might want to use one of the [[Helper_Applications|helper applications]] to get the arena done with the right amount of seats. Or just apply proportion of seats somewhere near 62% / 25% / 10% / 3%.

===Costs of expansion===

Terraces: 60€

Basic seats: 100€

Seats under roof: 120€

Seats in VIP boxes: 400€

There is also an additional fee of 10,000€ every time you expand, no matter how many seats you add.

Your stadium is an expensive long-term investment, which will take around two seasons to pay for itself at best. It is generally better to improve your stadium in small steps (say 2000 to 4000), and only if you will be able to fill those additional places in the majority of your up-coming matches.

Teams on a bad run may not see home crowds anything as good as the 20x fan-club indicator mentioned often in other guides. Your home crowds for league/cup games can be as low as 10x or 15x fan club size if you and your opponent are in low league positions and on bad runs and the weather is poor. This is particularly the case if you are in a low division populated by inactive teams. The often mentioned upper indicator of 30x fan-club size is much more accurate for teams in the upper divisions, where all teams are likely to have large fan clubs

Idiiot:

Page needs to be fixed up with fancier better organized tables.

----

Any ideas as to which currency the wiki should use as a standard?

in my opinion it needs to be €, because the biggest HT community uses/plays in countries with € as standard :)

Would Agree that USD / EUR should be the default, with links to this page where needed

== relative rate does not match the examples ==

The relative rate of converting one currency to another is based on the difference between that currency and the ""swedish kr"", and the examples use the ""US$"" as a reference. For example, it currently shows:

{|
| España || 10 || 100 € = 100 US$
|}

and I think it leads to confusion, since the €/$ comparison does not reflect that ratio (10). In my opinion, we should decide what currency to use as an standard for this wiki, there is a number of places were this issue might arise (basically all places where money is involved), and by adopting a standard currency a lot of minor editions can be prevented. I would suggest ""euro"" (€), since in my opinion it is the most used currency in the HT world. --[[User:Duno7|duno7]] 19:18, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

I agree. The Euro is the Hattrick standard and should be reflected in the wiki. We need to establish this consistently though. --[[User:Idiiot|Idiiot]] 01:11, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

Fans

2005-11-26T01:02:12Z

Idiiot:

The mood of your fans improves as your team wins matches and scores lots of goals. However a three-nil defeat at home isn't popular at all! The fans are fickle; one week you're a king and a hero, next week they're furious with you! The heart of your supporters club is made up of a hard-core of devoted fans. They won't abandon their team just for a few minor setbacks, but the size of the supporters club changes in relation to club fortunes and misfortunes. A die-hard supporters club is built up over many seasons, so the top teams who have been in the highest division for several seasons generally have the largest supporters clubs. 
If you value your fans, try not to lose by a large margin in home matches. The effect is much worse if your team doesn't score any goals while the other team scores plenty. When this happens the fans become '''very''' upset. This is particularly bad if you lose a game in which which you MOTSed. Results away from home still have an effect, but it is not so pronounced. Coversely, scoring lots of goals, and winning at home is the best way to increase the size of your fanclub. 
The amount of fans will change on the update immediately after every matchday (competition or friendly). Number of fans joining your club depends on their mood (better mood leads to more fans) and on fan-club size with respect to division level. Each division has a [[soft cap]] on maximum size of team's fan club. The closer you are to it, the harder it becomes to get new fans. 

Every new team starts with 100 fans, but this (at least initially!) increases quickly.

Players

2005-11-25T04:30:32Z

Idiiot: fixed Attack in the Middle link

==Skills==
Each player has 8 basic abilities, and there are also some additional factors affecting their performance in different situations. Let's have a rundown on the various abilities first :

===Stamina===

Decides how much capacity a player loses during the second half of the match. This is most important for midfielders, especially the inner ones, but also for defensive forwards and offensive defenders. It's somewhat important for other players (see [[Special Event]]).

===Playmaking===

Every successful team needs good playmakers in the midfield, especially in the central positions. Otherwise the team won't have a lot of ball possession, which will lead to fewer scoring opportunities.

===Winger===

The ability to create scoring opportunities by advancing down the sides. This is obviously most useful for wingers, although wing backs also profit from it. A forward played towards the wing will also benefit from this skill.

===Scoring===

The ball is supposed to go into the net. Most important ability for forwards, and forwards only.

===Goalkeeping===

Goalkeepers are normally not very skilled in the other areas, but they have lots of this ability.

===Passing===

The scorer gets the credit, but the player giving him the decisive pass is just as important. Both forwards and midfielders, including wingers, profit from being good at this. Passing is also very important for defenders when playing [[Counter Attack]]. Passing is also used to help compute [[Attack on Wings]] and [[Attack in the Middle]].

Inner midfielders, wingers played towards the middle, and forwards contribute to the central attack rating by their passing ability. Wingers, regardless of orientation, and, to a lesser extent, wingbacks, use their passing to contribute to side attacks.

===Defending===

The ability to stop opponent's attacks. Unconditionally the most important ability for all types of defenders. Midfielders may also put this ability to good use.

===Set pieces===

One player is appointed for set pieces. He'll take all free kicks, penalties, and in case of a penalty shoot-out, he'll take the first penalty. In all cases, lots of skill is needed in this area.

==Change in abilities==

The 8 abilities slowly change. They may be improved by special training (preferably combined with match training). Young players improve their abilities much more than older ones. As a player approaches the age of 30 his abilities start decreasing. This process doesn't occur constantly over time. Rather, it occurs in levels: very small decreases at a time for players around 30, considerably larger leaps for players around 35. For some reason, these decreases in abilities always surface on Mondays… Different levels of abilities are harder to maintain than others as players grow older - scoring ability is harder to maintain than goalkeeping, for instance. Read more on increasing abilities in the "Training" chapter.

It's very hard to maintain stamina above the level of "excellent" for a long period of time. All players just above the dividing line between "excellent" and the level under it are successively pressed downwards. There's a limit to how well the human body can perform.

==What abilities really mean==

The following tables will help you somewhat when you select your team. Note that it's only an approximation. Some levels of abilities following each other may mean only slight differences in performance, and vice-versa. The state of the midfield decides how many opportunities your team will produce during a match. The other parts of the team will decide the probability of attacks leading to goals.

==Player specialities==

Players (not all of them, about half of them) have a characteristic called "speciality". There are 5 different specialities available for players: "Technical", "Quick", "Head", "Powerful" and "Unpredictable".Every speciality, while sounding useful, has a good and bad side. A player with good technique will place his trust in his awesome control of the ball. At times he'll run rings round a big and clumsy defender. On a really waterlogged pitch, however, he'll have problems with players placing their trust in other abilities.

The specialties have impact on matches as described in the section about "[[Special Event]]" in Chapter 10 (The Match). In addition, they can be useful for certain tactic types.

==Injuries==

It won't matter how good a player really is if he's not on form or is injured. Sometimes players get injured. If this is the case, the injury, unless very slight, will put them on the treatment table for a couple of games. The risk of injuries increases as the team increases the intensity of training. (See below.) Older players take a longer time to heal. Also remember that the injury times stated are only estimates - if your star forward has a week-long injury, it might take him 8 or 9 days to get fit again.

==Yellow and red cards==

Players may get booked or sent off during games. Two bookings during a match will automatically lead to the player being sent off. Being sent off means that the player is suspended from the next competitive game. A player will also be suspended for one match after accumulating 3 bookings from competitive games during a season. Bookings from the league, cup, and qualifying games are all counted as the same. If a player has already been booked twice in league matches one season, and receives another booking in a subsequent cup match, he will be suspended from the next competitive match, regardless of whether it's a league match, cup match or qualifier.

You can check your Players List for how many bookings your players have received before a match. When a player has been suspended for one game, his bookings slate will be wiped clean. A player who has accumulated 3 bookings will have a red card symbol on the Players List, to show his suspension.

Highly aggressive players ("fiery", for instance) will be booked more often than other players. Especially if they're "not always completely honest" or lacking in experience.

The suspended players booking slate is wiped when a competitive match has been played. Also, all player slates are wiped at the end of the season. A player can't get a suspension (or get his slate wiped) from a friendly game.

==Form==

Players move in and out of form, and there is not a lot that can be done about this, apart from exchanging players in bad form for those in good form. You can also make sure that players with bad form get to play in friendlies, as this increases their chance of improving their form. Every player has an attribute that shows his "current form" (the real figure at the moment) and another one that is hidden, called "background form", which shows where his form is heading. The current form is the figure applied for matches, while the background form is used by the program to compute where the player's form is heading.

Each week, during training, the current form figure (simply called form) of every player will change, moving towards the hidden background form figure. The exceptions are those players where the current form is already at the exact same figure as their background form. Current form is not changed at once to the figure of background form. Instead it moves in steps over several weeks, though the further away from background form they are the larger the steps will be.

After current form has been changed during training, there is a chance that background form is changed for each player. Every player has the same individual chance of having his background form change, and there is nothing you can do to influence this chance. In fact the only factor that decides whether or not the background form of a player is changed is a random chance. This means that the background form might change several weeks in a row for some players, but for other players it might not change at all for weeks.

However, when chance decrees that a player's background form will change, there are several factors that influence what the new background form will be. The most important one is whether or not the player has played a match during the week. If he has not his new background form will probably be lower than for those that did play. This is partly because it should not pay to have an enormous squad - if you do you will soon have a large number of discontented players not receiving proper match training and being constantly out of form. Besides, having many bench-warmers on the payroll is a bad investment.
When the new background form is computed the following is taken into consideration:

<UL>
<LI>How hard you train (intensity of training) </LI>
<LI>How good your coach is </LI>
<LI>How many assistant coaches you use (and how many goalkeeping coaches you use for keepers) </LI>
<LI>If a player has participated in a match during the week. This is very important! </LI>
<LI>A random factor </LI>
</UL>

Note that in Hattrick form doesn't mean form in a physical context. It's not about a player having trained well or not. This affects stamina. Rather, form reflects a combination of all other aspects making it possible for, or preventing a player, from reaching his full potential. A player may be off form due to a loss of self-confidence or not having scored any goals lately. Maybe he's got some private problems. You could also imagine debilitating physical factors such as colds or similar, not simulated by injuries. In the same way, players in good form at the moment are on a roll.

An "excellent" player in "wretched" form is usually worse off than a "passable" player in "solid" form.

The intensity of training affects form. Players in a squad with a high level of intensity at training are generally in better form than players from a squad with a lower level of training intensity. Players' form is also affected by what kind of special training you choose.

Does this seem complicated? Remember, it's just as complicated for your opponent! You don't really need to compose the perfect team to win a game. The main issue is to assign players to positions they seem most suited for, and keep an eye on their form. Substitute players in bad form with players "on a roll". Give reserves in great form a chance to prove themselves. A simple system goes a long way.

One of the games [[tactics]]. Redirects a percentage of attacks on the wings instead of through the middle.

The drawback of the AOW tactic is the weakening of the central defence.

Creating pages with acronymes might not be the best ideea. So let's move pages like [[AIM]] to [[Attack in the Middle]] and redirect the acronym page to the full name page. This way we can be coherent.

Good idea. I'll do the same with the AOW page.
