{{Interwiki/Series}}


== Introduction ==
A '''Series''' consists of eight [[team]]s, which play against each other two times during one [[season]].<br>
Each series belongs to a specific [[league]] level, the [[division]]. The ultimate goal for a team is to climb all levels and become champion in top division.


'''Series''' consists of eight teams, which play against each other two times each [[season]] according to a pre-set [[fixtures|schedule]].
== Promotion and Relegation ==
Teams in a series face off according to a pre-set [[fixtures]] of 14 matches per team played every week. After 14 week, series is concluded and the promotion [[rank]]ing, a list of all country's active teams, is created.
When teams have the same number of points, the tiebraker is goal difference, next goals scored and eventually a draw.


== Numbers of series on different league levels ==
The team which has gained the most [[points]] in a series is positioned first and can be promoted [[Auto-promotion|automatically]] or after playing a [[qualifier|qualification match]]


There are different [[league]] levels or divisions, and a certain number of levels for each Hattrick [[country]], depending on the number of users in that specific country. Each series belongs to a specific league level. Almost every country has a top series, then four (4) division I series, sixteen division II series, according to the table below. An exception to this is [[Sweden]] where the second division is I, 3rd is II and so on.  
Last two in list with the least points are directly [[relegation|relegated]]. Teams placed 5th and 6th have to play playoffs against winners of the division below. The teams from the higher division (5th and 6th placed) play at home.
<blockquote>"Teams in 5th and 6th place will always play demotion qualifiers."<br>
According to [[A Hattrick where every match matters]], editorial announcing qualifiers for all divisions from then on.</blockquote>

== League level restructuring ==
 
Before [[season]] 28 (April 2006), the league structure looked like this:
 
{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" rules="all" style="margin:1em 1em 1em 0; border:solid 1px #AAAAAA; border-collapse:collapse; background-color:#F9F9F9; font-size:100%; empty-cells:show;"  
| '''League level''' || '''Number of series'''
|----
| 1 || 1
|----
| 2 || 4
|----
| 3 || 16
|----
| 4 || 64
|----
| 5 || 256
|----
| 6 || 1024
|----
| 7 || 1024
|----
| 8 || 1024
|----
| 9 || 1024
|----
| 10 || 1024
|----
| 11 || 1024
|}
 
This was changed in order to have less divisions, and to solve the [[bot]] problem found in many of the larger [[countries]], notably [[Spain]].
 
== Promotion/relegation ==
 
In the five highest divisions, [[promotion]]s and [[relegation]]s all go in the same way.
 
A list of all champions in a division is made, the promotion ranking. The team which has gained the most [[points]] in his league level is positioned first, the champion with the least points is placed last (4th for II, 16th 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.
 
{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" rules="all" style="margin:1em 1em 1em 0; border:solid 1px #AAAAAA; border-collapse:collapse; background-color:#F9F9F9; font-size:100%; empty-cells:show;"
| '''Higher division''' || '''Direct/indirect''' || '''Lower division'''
|----
| Best ranked no. 5 || plays || Worst ranked no. 1 (64th for IV, 16th for III)
|----
| 2nd ranked no. 5 || plays || 2nd worst ranked no. 1 (63th for IV, 15th for III)
|----
| Worst ranked no. 5 (16th for III, 4th for II)  || plays || No. 1 (49th for IV, 13th for III)
|----
| Best ranked no. 6 || plays || No. 1 (48th for IV, 12th for III)
|----
| Worst ranked no. 6 (16th for III) || plays || Best ranked no. 1 of the bottom half (33th for IV, 9th for III)
|----
| Best ranked no. 7 || replaced by || Best ranked no. 1
|----
| Worst ranked no. 7 || replaced by || No. 1 (16th for IV, 4th for III)
|----
| Best ranked no. 8 || replaced by || No. 1 (17th for IV, 5th for III)
|----
|----
| Worst ranked no. 8 || replaced by || Worst ranked no. 1 of the top half (32th for IV, 8th for III
|}
 
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 qualification match 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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
In the divisions below, number 7 and 8 all relegate (exept the bottom division ofcourse). Champions will all promote, numbers 2 will only promote if the division above has as much leagues as theirs, if the division above has half the number of leagues, the numbers 2 will stay in their league.
 
From division 6 down, divisions wil alternating have the same and double size (see league restructuring).
 
== Distribution For New and Relegated Teams ==
 
Hattrick changed the way the series are filled with teams, to avoid series full of bot teams. This was annaounced in a [[My Hattrick]] message on the 15th of July 2008 (an edit of the announcement was made a while later exchanging the italic sentence for the bold one) :
 
{{Hattrick_announcement|
  | date = 2008-07-15
  | title = It´s Lonely at the Bottom
  | text = We have started distributing rookie teams into the league system in a new way. We hope to improve a few things with this change. One is to make sure teams in lower divisions are not left "alone", without human competition. Two, to make sure that new teams get a more balanced competition (not too hard, and not too easy). The main change will be that rather than filling series up completely, in numerical order, the Hattrick Football Association will start with series that have only one human-owned team. When these have at least four human-owned teams, series with two active teams will follow, and so on. Not packing human-owned teams too tighly will make promotion easier for new, active human owners. ''Before next season, we will make it impossible for bot teams to promote, instead giving these places to the best available human-owned teams.'' '''Later on we aim to reduce the possibility for bot teams to promote at the expense of human controlled teams'''
}}
 
 
The rules, in order, for the distribution of teams is as follows :
#Series in the second lowest division with at least one team will get new users up to the amount of four teams starting with the ones with fewest active users.
#Series in the second lowest division without any teams will get new users up to the amount of four teams.
#Series in the lowest division with at least one team will get new users up to the amount of four teams starting with the ones with fewest active users.
#Series in the lowest division without any teams will get new users up to the amount of four teams.
#Series in the lowest division is filled up to full with every series first getting up to 5 teams, every series getting up to 6 teams etc.

=== Exceptions ===
{{See|Division}}
Rules are slightly different in divisions below 6: teams placed 1st and 2nd are directly promoted and teams placed 3rd and 4th play qualifier
The top division works differently in that no one can obviously be further promoted, so the champion is enrolled in the National [[Hall of Fame (nation)|Hall of Fame]].


Off-season [[Bot#Off-season_removal|bot teams removal]], which takes place the Monday after the qualifiers, may create additional promotion slots. A number of "Lucky Losers" among the teams who have lost qualification games is drawn to be promoted - it will not be possible to opt out of this draw.

A Series consists of eight teams, which play against each other two times during one season.
Each series belongs to a specific league level, the division. The ultimate goal for a team is to climb all levels and become champion in top division.

Promotion and Relegation

Teams in a series face off according to a pre-set fixtures of 14 matches per team played every week. After 14 week, series is concluded and the promotion ranking, a list of all country's active teams, is created. When teams have the same number of points, the tiebraker is goal difference, next goals scored and eventually a draw.

The team which has gained the most points in a series is positioned first and can be promoted automatically or after playing a qualification match

Last two in list with the least points are directly relegated. Teams placed 5th and 6th have to play playoffs against winners of the division below. The teams from the higher division (5th and 6th placed) play at home.

"Teams in 5th and 6th place will always play demotion qualifiers."
According to A Hattrick where every match matters, editorial announcing qualifiers for all divisions from then on.

Some examples
Higher division Direct/indirect Lower division
Best ranked no. 5 plays Worst ranked no. 1
2nd ranked no. 5 plays 2nd worst ranked no. 1
Worst ranked no. 5 plays No. 1
Best ranked no. 6 plays No. 1
Worst ranked no. 6 plays Best ranked no. 1 of the bottom half
Best ranked no. 7 replaced by Best ranked no. 1
Worst ranked no. 7 replaced by No. 1
Best ranked no. 8 replaced by No. 1
Worst ranked no. 8 replaced by Worst ranked no. 1 of the top half

Exceptions

      Further information: Division

Rules are slightly different in divisions below 6: teams placed 1st and 2nd are directly promoted and teams placed 3rd and 4th play qualifier

The top division works differently in that no one can obviously be further promoted, so the champion is enrolled in the National Hall of Fame.

Off-season bot teams removal, which takes place the Monday after the qualifiers, may create additional promotion slots. A number of "Lucky Losers" among the teams who have lost qualification games is drawn to be promoted - it will not be possible to opt out of this draw.

Series page

An example of stats sub-page

In the early seasons, only one page with a table was enough to represent series data. Most of the statistics were integrated from alltid over the years after site incorporation in the game.

Series table (circa 2012)

That includes stats confrontation of attack, midfield, defense and stars and the "match of the week" sub-page.
