==General Information on leagues==
{{interwiki/League}}
[[Image:League Map.png|thumb|350px|right|Map of the Hattrick World showing the Number of League Levels in each Country]]
[[Image:League-Map.png|550px|thumb|right|link=world|In 2009, with nearly one million active teams, there was a record number of divisions for every league in '''Hattrick World''']]
A '''league''', also known as competition or serie. All teams in Hattrick play in "leagues". Each league consists of eight (8) different teams, which play against each other two times each [[season]].
A '''league''' is the set of [[division]]s belonging to a [[country]].  


There are different league levels, and a certain number of levels for each Hattrick country, depending on the number of users in that specific country. The smallest countries have only three levels, the largest ones, e.g. [[España|Spain]] and [[Deutschland|Germany]] have eleven of them, ranging from the first divison (e.g. [[Bundesliga]] in Germany or [[Allsvenskan]] in [[Sverige|Sweden]]) to the bottom division XI (11). Note that Sweden is a special case when numbering the league levels; the first level is Allsvenskan, then come Ia to Id, then the "second" divisons IIa to IIh, and so on. So, the lowest division in Sweden, the tenth level, is actually called division IX (nine).
The decision to create a new league is taken by the [[Hattrick Team]] in order to allow all managers from the same spot of the globe to play more closely together and share both the same local [[forum]] and the same [[Hall of Fame (nation)|hall of fame]]. <br>


==League numbers on different levels==
==Expansion of leagues==
There are different numbers of leagues on each level. There is always only one top division league, then there are four second division leagues, 16 third division leagues, and so on, up to the sixth division. From there on, there are always 1024 leagues per division.
{{Main|Division}}
Each league consists of a certain number of levels, or divisions, that that must be filled [[user]]s before any further expansion. So, depending on the number of users, it can be easy or time-consuming to reach the top division.  


The teams will play their [[fixtures]] in the same order every season.
The smallest countries have only three divisions, the largest ones (i.e. [[Spain]], [[Italia|Italy]], [[Germany]]) reached eleven of them at maximum expansion. It means that a team starting in the bottom division, XI or 11, had to climb 10 levels to get to the top division (i.e. German [[Bundesliga]], Italian [[Serie A]] or Spanish [[Primera]] division).

There have been some important steps in the history of Hattrick regarding the league expansion:

==League restructuring==
 
After [[season]] 28 (April 2006), the league structure will change and look like this:

; Season  2 : 680 teams in [[Sverige|Sweden]]: [[Allsvenskan]], division 1, division 2 and division 3 are created. Note that Sweden is a special case when numbering the league levels; the first level is Allsvenskan, then come Ia to Id, then the "second" divisons IIa to IIh, and so on. The lowest division Sweden has ever reached, the tenth level, was actually called division IX (nine).

; Season 19 : VII. Division established in Netherlands.
; Season 20 : VI. Division in Italy, [[Polska|Poland]] and [[Suomi|Finland]];
: VII. Division in [[Schweiz|Swizerland]].
; Season 21 : IV. Division in [[Lietuva|Lithuania]], [[Srbija|Serbia & Montenegro]] (^2);
: V. Divison in [[Colombia]], [[Hellas|Greece]], [[Ireland]], [[Uruguay]];
: VI. Division in [[Chile]], [[France]], [[Israel]], [[Österreich|Austria]];
: VII. Division in [[Argentina]], [[Belgium|België]], Germany and Spain.
; Season 27 : VII. Division in England; XI. Division in Germany.
; Season 33 : League extensions:
::* Up to IV in [[Algérie|Algeria]], [[Andorra]], [[Azərbaycan]], [[Kazakhstan]], [[Sakartvelo|Georgia]], [[Tounes|Tunisia]];
::* Up to V in [[Misr|Egypt]];
::* Up to VI in [[Hong Kong]];
::* Up to VII in [[China]];
::* Up to VIII in Israel;
::* Up to X in Poland and [[Portugal]].
; Season 36 : XI in Italy.<br>


This will lead to less divisions, and go some way towards solving the [[bot]] problem found in many of the larger [[countries]], notably [[Spain]].
==Leagues in Hattrick World==
 
The world in the game is currently made of:
==Promotion/relegation==
* 144 leagues (from as many countries),
 
* 1 superleague ({{Flag|INT}}).
In the five highest divisions, promotions and relegations all go in the same way.
 
A list of all champions in a division is made, the promotionranking. The team which has gained the most points in his league is positioned first, the champion with the least points is placed last (4th for II, 16 for III, 64th for IV, 256th for V). When teams have the same number of points, the tiebraker is goal difference, next goals scored and eventually a draw.
 
The top half of the champions promote directly and replace the 7th and 8th placed teams in the higher division. The other half of the champions play a qualification match against the numbers 5 and 6 of the division above. The champion which is ranked highest in the bottom half of the promotionranking will play the number 6 with the least point. The lowest ranked champion will play the highest ranked number 5. The teams from the higher division (5th and 6th placed) play at home.

In this way every division further from the top is 4 times as big as the one above. Out of 4 champions, one replaces a number 7 directly, one a number 8. Another champion will play a qualificationmatch against a number 5 and one champion will play a number 6 in order to try to earn promotion. Qualification matches are only played between the following divisions: I <-> II, II <-> III, III <-> IV, IV <-> V and V <-> VI, in lower divisions there are only direct promotions and relegations.
=== Footnotes ===
 
#{{note|ref-1}} [[Global season]] is referred to the first league ever created, the swedish one. It is called [[global]] because the same number is shared by leagues create before 2001 (all other leagues were given their own season number starting at 1).
From division VI down the promotion/relegation varies. For division VI champions and division V 5th to 8th place finishers the same system as described above is used.
#{{note|ref-2}} The '''Nation code''' is an identification number used in the game. Normally each new country added takes the number following the last one used, although in some cases codes have been used for tests or other hidden activities and are no longer available (i.e hidden test league created and then cancelled like [[New Moon]] or [[Middle Earth]]).
#{{note|ref-3}} Originally created as "Srbija i Crna Gora" and then renamed "Serbia" in global season 30 after creation of a separeted lague for 131. Montenegro (Crna Gora).
#{{note|ref-4}} '''n.a.''' is for a national code not active, unused or not accessible - This is where there are jumps in the numbering.
#{{note|ref-5}} {{Season_error_infobox}}


In divisiont VI the numbers 5 and 6 don't have to play a qualification match in order to remain in their division. Only the number 7 and 8 are relegated. They are replaced by numbers 1 and 2 from division VII. In division VII the bottom two teams also relegate, but since division VIII is twice as big as division VII, only the champions will promote.
== See Also ==

In 2009, with nearly one million active teams, there was a record number of divisions for every league in Hattrick World

A league is the set of divisions belonging to a country.

The decision to create a new league is taken by the Hattrick Team in order to allow all managers from the same spot of the globe to play more closely together and share both the same local forum and the same hall of fame.

Expansion of leagues

      Main article: Division

Each league consists of a certain number of levels, or divisions, that that must be filled users before any further expansion. So, depending on the number of users, it can be easy or time-consuming to reach the top division.

The smallest countries have only three divisions, the largest ones (i.e. Spain, Italy, Germany) reached eleven of them at maximum expansion. It means that a team starting in the bottom division, XI or 11, had to climb 10 levels to get to the top division (i.e. German Bundesliga, Italian Serie A or Spanish Primera division).

There have been some important steps in the history of Hattrick regarding the league expansion:

Season 2
680 teams in Sweden: Allsvenskan, division 1, division 2 and division 3 are created. Note that Sweden is a special case when numbering the league levels; the first level is Allsvenskan, then come Ia to Id, then the "second" divisons IIa to IIh, and so on. The lowest division Sweden has ever reached, the tenth level, was actually called division IX (nine).

Footnotes

  1. ^  Global season is referred to the first league ever created, the swedish one. It is called global because the same number is shared by leagues create before 2001 (all other leagues were given their own season number starting at 1).
  2. ^  The Nation code is an identification number used in the game. Normally each new country added takes the number following the last one used, although in some cases codes have been used for tests or other hidden activities and are no longer available (i.e hidden test league created and then cancelled like New Moon or Middle Earth).
  3. ^  Originally created as "Srbija i Crna Gora" and then renamed "Serbia" in global season 30 after creation of a separeted lague for 131. Montenegro (Crna Gora).
  4. ^  n.a. is for a national code not active, unused or not accessible - This is where there are jumps in the numbering.
  5. ^  The country was restarted after an error. Due to the error, what appears as season 2 is in fact season 1, season 3 is season 2, etc. For example, the displayed season 36 was the 35th season played (note that the strange data behave is not corrected in the National trophies table below).
