Random Support!
Random Support! is a whimsical federation (AllianceID: 41190) founded April 22, 2006 by USA user joshito.
Description
Every week a different Hattrick club is chosen at random, and everyone joins in to support them. The randomly selected club must have purchased Hattrick Supporter, so that fed members can use the club's guestbook to announce their support and wish them well.
Support History
Random Support! history is a bit sketchy before September 2006. Occasionally, more than a week passes between random team selections. Special Random Support! events are marked in gold. Teams that joined the Random Support! fed after being visited are marked in bold.

Countries visited
Since September 2006, Random Support! has visited Germany and Sweden more than any other countries, followed closely by The Netherlands and Switzerland.
Target generation
Old way
In November 2006 Hattrick announced that Uman and Al Yaman would receive leagues, and that leagues in España, France, Rossiya, Cyprus, Makedonija, and Crna Gora would be expanded. After this expansion, there were 1440464 teams in Hattrick. Therefore, a list of potential teams to support could be created by generating random numbers between 1 and 1440464 at random.org. The first team found with Supporter was chosen.
New way
The fed currently uses a CHPP-approved random team selector that only searches for teams with Supporter.
Special selections
There have sometimes been non-random selections on special occasions. In particular, the federation offered the support of its members as one of the prizes in Gumby's BOTCup contest:
- BOTCup II winner: hlupak's Atlin AFC
- BOTCup III winner: stepanogil's Vilma and the Beep Beep Minica
