Announcements

The HT-staff has made an announcement about Non-HFA international football:

Hattrick announces
Our policy on leagues and league names 09/06/2009
From time to time we get questions about our policy for new league additions, and also for country names, and while this may not be the most interesting news it's good to spell it out and make it clear.

New league additions in Hattrick have to be FIFA members. We also base our naming policy on FIFA. We have used this policy for many years now, as it makes perfect sense for us to do so. Hattrick is a global online football game, and FIFA is the international governing body of association football. So in case of any dispute, we choose the same name that FIFA uses. This way, we don't take side in any real life conflict.

In our league dropdowns we will start using the English name now. This will make it much easier for everyone to understand and use the dropdown. It will also make us more compliant with our FIFA policy and avoid real life conflicts carrying over to the Hattrick world.
