Flag Chasing is a hobby in Hattrick that a lot of managers do. Flag Chasing is most often done by playing an international friendly in the home stadium of your opponent in a country you haven't been before. Flagchasing can be also be done by:

'''Flag Chasing''' is a frequent hobby in Hattrick. It consists of playing international friendlies of [[countries]] not visited before. Flagchasing can be done by:


* Playing your [[friendlies]] at home against different countries.
* Playing [[friendlies]] abroad in different countries.
* Collecting [[supporters]] from different countries
* Playing [[friendlies]] at home against teams from different countries.
* Collecting players from different countries
* Playing [[Single Matches]] against teams from different countries.
* Collecting [[supporters]] from different countries.
* Collecting [[players]] from different countries.


You will not recieve a flag if you play in a 3rd team's stadium. You can show the rest of the community you have chased the flags by either using the logo provided by the [[Flag Chasers Community]] [http://fcclogo.cretze.org], the HO plugin, or the [http://www.flagcreator.org flag creator]
Playing in a third team's stadium, possibly even in a third country, doesn't generate a flag.


The person with the most away flags in the hattrick community is micket with their team Reggae United (10458).  
Many flag chasers are [[Hattrick Supporter]]s as it enables them to show the community their flags. This can be done via the ''Flag collection'' page which is then accessible at a team's main page or via a logo provided by different parties, most commonly the [[Flag Chasers Community]], the [[HO]] plugin, or the ''Sig and Flag Creator''.


Other teams focus on getting the most prestigious flags, with [http://websec.science.uva.nl/~lhoek/coolness.php Maptrick] having a list of countries with the "coolest" ones at the top. The "coolest" away flag chaser is nissefniss with their team Kånkelklubben (11120) [http://websec.science.uva.nl/~lhoek/hallofcool.php?max=21&numflags=0&hosted=3&zoneid=0&leagueid=1&allianceid=0].

Flag Chasing is a frequent hobby in Hattrick. It consists of playing international friendlies of countries not visited before. Flagchasing can be done by:

  • Playing friendlies abroad in different countries.
  • Playing friendlies at home against teams from different countries.
  • Playing Single Matches against teams from different countries.
  • Collecting supporters from different countries.
  • Collecting players from different countries.

Playing in a third team's stadium, possibly even in a third country, doesn't generate a flag.

Many flag chasers are Hattrick Supporters as it enables them to show the community their flags. This can be done via the Flag collection page which is then accessible at a team's main page or via a logo provided by different parties, most commonly the Flag Chasers Community, the HO plugin, or the Sig and Flag Creator.
