Leagues

• Season 24: This Global Season was Assyria's first in Hattrick. The previous club holding the "spot" was orange county discontent which had won its league in Division VI in season 23, and was thus promoted to Division V. I took control over the club and named it Assyria. Assyria started their Hattrick adventure in league V.92 in USA. Alas, as a beginner in Division V, the result could only be one. Assyria finished in 8th position with 0 points and was therefore demoted to Division VI. However, the season was spent on learning more about the game. At the end of the season, the club named was changed to the current one; Assyria Masters FC.

• Season 25: Starting "fresh" in VI.440, Assyria won all their games during this season. This, however, sounds more impressive than it actually was. Of the seven opponents, six were so called bot teams. Anyway, promotion to Division V.

• Season 26: Back again in Division V, this time V.55, and hoping to be able to compete with the other teams. Hoped in vain. The season was a disappointment; with only 7 points (2 victories), Assyria fell down again.

• Season 27: The league was now VI.985. This time, all the seven opponents were bot teams. Lots of fun... Anyhow, the team took the opportunity to build up a stronger squad, in preparation for the promotion back to Division V. Need to mention that Assyria won all their games?

• Season 28: Finally, with a strong squad (hopefully) and good economy, the team was back, now in V.235. This time with a strong dedication to stay in Division V. And the season went better than imagined. Assyria came in 2nd place, losing only two games, both against the winner of the league. For the first time ever, Assyria was neither demoted nor promoted.

• Season 29: The teams hopes to maybe compete for promotion were pretty soon crushed and instead, Assyria were closer to the qualification positions 5 and 6. But at the end, all went well and Assyria finished in 3rd.

Other Cups

SHTS Cup
The first non-national cup Assyria Masters FC participated in was the SHTS Cup (the cup of the federation Svenska HT-Studenter), during season 28. The cup usually starts with a group play, viz. 8 groups with 4 teams in each and the winners and first runners-up advance. In the first season, Assyria came in third place in their group, after winning one game, playing a tie the second game and finally losing the third one, against Telge FC, a team Assyria Masters FC is a supporter of.

The second season of this cup (season 29) ended, after only one win, again, with the team on 3rd place. No advancement this season either.

Florida Cup
Assyria Masters FC played in the Florida Cup which started at the end of season 28 (i.e. the first game after the leagues end). The cup consisted of only eight teams and was a strictly team eliminating cup. Unfortunately, the cup started badly from the very beginning. One of the eight teams had booked another friendly game instead of the supposed game in the cup. Assyria won their game in the first round with 7-1 against team Voyagers. For the second round, another team had booked a friendly outside the cup and eventually Assyria's second round opponent did so as well since no one knew how to continue. The cup was declared a failure and ended.

Assyrian Chaldean Soryoyo Cup
Assyria Masters FC participated in the Assyrian Chaldean Soryoyo Cup during season 29. The cup consisted of twelve teams: two from the USA, two from Schweiz (Switzerland), one from Hellas (Greece) and seven from Sverige (Sweden). The teams were spread in 3 groups and the winner of each group plus the best second placed team advanced to the next round, the semifinals. Assyria was in group A, with the following schedule and results:

2006-05-17	FC Assyriska (Template:SUIf)	-	Assyria Masters FC	1 - 5
2006-05-24	FC Babylon (Template:SUIf)	-	Assyria Masters FC	2 - 2
2006-05-31	Assyria Masters FC	-	Alqosh F.C. (Template:USAf)	5 - 1

As the winner of Group A, Assyria advanced to the semifinals and won the game: Assyria Masters FC - Syrianska Fcc (Template:SWEf), 4 - 0 (2006-06-08). In the final, however, Assyria lost and ended in 2nd place in the cup: MacDonalds Mc (Template:SWEf) - Assyria Masters FC, 0 - 4 (2006-06-13).

Physicists in Hattrick Cup
Assyria Masters FC are currently playing in this cup, for the first time ever. The cup is of "beach volleyball style" meaning that a team has to lose two games in a row to be out.

Federations

Assyria Masters FC is currently a member of the following federations:

• Flag Chasers Community (FC-C): Flag Grabber
  Became a member 2005-06-25. This was the first federation I joined. This federation is the largest in Hattrick (over 10000 members) and is mainly based on the feature of receiving country flags when playing international friendlies. This federation has lots of fun contests based on flags and youth pulls. My current status means I have a collection of at least 30 different flags from international away-friendlies.

• Svenska HT-Studenter (SHTS): Doktorand
  Became a member 2005-10-25 and chose the status Doktorand. Svenska HT-Studenter means Swedish HT-Students and doktorand simply means Ph.D. student. This federation is for swedish students, ex-students and soon-to-be-students and has a very friendly atmosphere in its conference. Of all my federations, this is the federation conference I am most active in.

• Physicists in Hattrick (PiH): Paul Dirac
  Became a member 2006-02-15 and chose the status Paul Dirac which is for us who are mainly interested in theoretical physics. (And of course since Dirac used to be a faculty member of my university).

  Became a member 2006-03-10. The name can be translated to Swedish HT Academy and stödmedlem means supportive member. This federation is for people interested in the swedish language and its proper use. It wants to guide (swedish) HT users to a better (and more correct) usage of the language.
