Map of the Hattrick World showing the Number of League Levels in each Country

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.

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 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).

League numbers on different levels

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.

The teams will play their fixtures in the same order every season.

League level	Number of leagues
1	1
2	4
3	16
4	64
5	256
6	1024
7	1024
8	1024
9	1024
10	1024
11	1024

League restructuring

After season 28 (April 2006), the league structure will change and look like this:

League level	Number of leagues
1	1
2	4
3	16
4	64
5	256
6	1024
7	1024
8	2048 (old 8+9)
9	2048 (old 10+11)
10	4096
11	4096

This will lead to less divisions, and go some way towards solving the bot problem found in many of the larger countries, notably Spain.
