Is HT-Bjorn still actively working on Hattrick? I haven't seen him posting in the conference for a long time.


Nope, he's not and hasn't been for some time now. He left his role in Hattrick to other developers as he didn't feel the he had enough inspiration. But he's still around - he hasn't left the company.

How many people are working in HT ? Is there a division by tasks ? (match engine, relationship with users, etc.) Can you explain us who and what's his task in Hattrick's development ?


I wrote an editorial on that subject a year ago, most of it is still true. But as some got new/other roles today and we also got some new HTs which haven't been presentated there will be a new editiorial about that soon.

I have bot more personal, however serious question. The HT's are the founding fathers of Hattrick. You are experts in the game and know every detail and tactic. How is possible that your private teams are relatively unsuccesfull? You never won the cup or the national championship and none of you play at the highest level in Sweden.

Are you just being polite?

What do the higher ranked teams better than you?


Björn used to say that he played the game how it was supposed to work, but the best managers play the game as it really works. I think that's still a valid point.

This isn't about us being polite or so, I think our unsuccessfulness mostly depends on two things: - Even if we know a lot about the game, we don't have enough time to spend (or choose not to spend it) on our teams as we have so many other things to do when we're logged in. - Appearantly there are better managers than us in the world. At least when it comes to playing Hattrick.

I would be interested about the HTs working day and the atmosphere in the office?

Do some of you guys prefer the "nine to five schedule" or are you all working more on a flexitime? Do you go to lunch together or is everyone eating at home? Do you spend some freetime together as well? Are all of you "friends"? Do you take care of Sarah or is it vice versa? ;) Are there other people working (internships, janitors...)? How was christmas party?


Most of us try to work according to a nine to five schedule, but we don't always succeed. :) All of us have the opportunity to work whenever we want and whereever we want, so we do have a lot of freedom in that sense. On the other hand I think most of us spend a lot more than 8 hours at work every day, but that's partly because we enjoy what we do too.

The atmosphere at the office, where most of us try to spend the day, is fantastic. It's great fun to come here everyday as you usually laugh a lot. We're all about the same age, so I guess that helps too. We eat lunch together, and we also take some breaks to play Guitar Hero. Sometimes we also team up on evenings to play board games (History of the world is the favorite game, and been so for a very long time) and drink a few beers. Our christmas party this year was liked that in fact, we ate some nice food and played a lot of games until 4 am in the morning. :)

How it is posible to manage so huge company with 923.820 clients by a team of only 13 persons?


It wouldn't be possible to manage this site without the help from our voluntary staff (Moderators, GameMasters, Language Administrators and CHPP admins). Honestly, they're the true heroes of Hattrick.

Do you sometimes consult with professional football players, coaches, NT coaches, managers etc. when developing Hattrick?


I guess you mean football players, coaches etc in real life. No, we don't. The most professional football player who's consulted is myself I guess, and today I play on a pretty low level (Div 6, when I was youn...a little bit fitter I played in div 3). Many HTs are also real football experts as we watch several games each week on the telly. ;)

Seriously, many of us are football fanatics. And I don't know if consulting a irl coach etc would be of any real use. It's after all a simplistic game we're creating.

This morning we published an editoial about changes we are making to the development team. You can about it here: (/MyHattrick/Editorials/)

For most of you it probably does not matter that much where we sit and how we organize ourselves, but we wanted to let you know what is happening and also answer any questions you may have about it.

We think we will be able to do a better job for Hattrick out of the new office, that's what it all comes down to. We would also like to take this opportunity to look for talented people in the community that might be interested in coming to work for us and help build the future Hattrick.

BTW, here is the new recruitment page:

And what is with Tjecko? I don't see him here? :-o
Sorry. I was wearing my invisible cloak. ;)
I'll remain working for HT. I'm not ready to let go of this love affair.

Can you told us which Peoples left to work for HT?


Thomas, Hommik, Per, Kim and Stefan have stopped working for HT. Magnus will leave soon (but he's not really worked with Hattrick for a while either).
