	No matter where you choose to play, any match played against a foreign team is considered to be an international friendly. Please note that matches played on neutral grounds will not earn a flag for either of the participating teams, unless the match is held in the home team's country but in a different stadium. In that case, the away team does earn a flag for its collection.		No matter where you choose to play, any match played against a foreign team is considered to be an international friendly. Please note that matches played on neutral grounds will not earn a flag for either of the participating teams, unless the match is held in the home team's country but in a different stadium. In that case, the away team does earn a flag for its collection.

			== Tournaments ==
			Tournaments is the alternative competition system for Hattrick teams. You can join official ladder tournaments and try to become the 'King of the Hill', or you can play in tournaments that are run by managers themselves.

			Note that you can still play regular friendly matches every week even if you play in a tournament.

			=== Own tournaments ===
			You have to be a Supporter to create a tournament. The creator decides size, name, etc and then invites managers to the tournament. Supporters can join in for free, and non-Supporters can also join in through Hattrick Gears. When the tournament is full, it will start automatically and a forum for the tournament will be created as well.

			If the tournament is not full 72 hours before the first match should start, the start day will be postponed one week to the following Monday.

			Tournament matches are played once a week, on Mondays, and you can participate in one tournament at a time. If you are knocked out of a tournament, you are free to join another one.

			=== Ladder tournaments ===
			In a ladder your goal is to reach the highest rung and become the 'King of the Hill'. And then stay there for as long as you can. To reach the top you challenge other teams listed above you in the ladder, and if you win you take their place in the ladder.

			'''Challenge rules'''
			Your current position in the ladder affects which teams you are able to challenge.

			'''Pos 1-5''': Can only be challenged by the team immediately below them in the ladder.

			'''Pos 6-15''': Can be challenged by teams 1-3 places below them.

			'''Pos 16-99''': Can be challenged by teams 1-10 places below them.

			'''Pos 100-199''': Can be challenged by teams 1-50 places below them.

			'''Pos 200-1000''': Can be challenged by teams 1-100 places below them.

			'''Pos 1000-5000''': Can be challenged by teams 1-500 places below them.

			'''Pos 5000+''': Can be challenged by teams 1-1000 places below them.

			The challenger pays for the match and challenged teams automatically accept the challenge. The match is played 24 hours after the challenge has been made.

			'''Position changes after match'''
			If you challenge a team and win, you take the position of the team you challenged. The challenged team is moved down 1 position (this also goes for any other teams in between the two teams in the ladder).

			Example: Team A is on position 54 and challenges B, currently 47. If A wins, A takes position 47 from B. B is moved down to position 48, and the team that held position 48 is moved down to 49, the team that held position 49 is moved down to 50, and so on.
			If you challenge a team and lose, both teams stay in their respective places.

			'''Challenge grace periods'''
			After a match in which you were challenged, other teams can't challenge you for 12 hours (from the start of the match). This gives you a chance to challenge a team yourself and climb the ladder.

			After a match in which you were the challenger, you can't challenge another team for 12 hours (from the start of the match). This is to give other teams a chance to challenge you (and also to prevent scenarios where for example #2 always immediately challenges #1, making it impossible for #3 to challenge him and take that position).

			=== Tournament matches (Ladders and others) ===
			Matches are played on neutral grounds and they don't give you any income from spectators (and no new members to your fan club).

			All tournament matches use the same match data as regular matches. So your players’ current form, skills, experience, injury status etc on the match day will be used. There are two exceptions though: team spirit (and confidence) is set to a fixed value and cards work differently. See below for details.

			=== No effects after match ===
			Tournament matches have no effect on your team or your players after match. Players don't get any training or experience from these matches, nor do matches have any effect on formation experience, team spirit and so on.

			=== Details ===
			All the details you need to know about tournament matches are listed here:

			'''Team spirit''': Team spirit is set to a fixed level (content) in tournament matches.

			'''Team confidence''': Confidence is set to a fixed level (wonderful) in tournament matches.

			'''Injuries''': No injuries will occur in tournament matches, but any injured player in "normal" Hattrick will not be able to play.

			'''Cards (own tournaments)''': Tournaments have their own card status, and have a completely different system of red / yellow cards from 'normal' Hattrick. As such, any card received in a tournament match will only count for the matches that are part of that tournament. Equally, should a player be red carded in normal Hattrick, he will still be able to play in a tournament match.

			'''Cards (Ladders)''': Cards don't count at all in ladder tournaments.

			'''Training''': Players don't get any training from tournament matches.

			'''Experience''': Player don't gain any experience from playing tournament matches.

			'''Formations''': Your current formation experience in "normal" Hattrick is also used for tournament matches. However, you do not gain any formation experience from tournament matches.

If you end up in place 7 or 8 you will be relegated to the division below (except for the lowest division). The demoted team with the best record (the best team out of those finishing in place 7) will swap series with the promoted team that has the strongest record. The demoted team with the worst record swaps places with the weakest team that has gained promotion.

			=== Bot demotion ===
			At the end of each season all bot teams in div VI and lower will demote to the lowest possible division. There is one exception though: in div VI, any bots finishing 1st will promote or play a qualifier.

			When bot teams demote, real teams take their positions instead and promote "for free”. These extra promotions are ranking based (see below).
