For national teams, competitive matches include all World Cup qualification and World Cup main stage matches.
Competitive Matches
Competitive matches are also reffered to as official matches.
League Game
A League Game is a competitive match between two teams from the same league. League matches occur on match days, which usually occur on Saturday or Sunday. 100% of the income from league game ticket sales goes to the home team. Each season, every team has seven home and seven away matches.
League games can end in a tie.
Cup Game
A Cup Game is a competitive match between two Cup opponents. Cup games occur on friendly days, which are on a Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. A cup match is not a friendly with cup rules, but rather part of a tournament hosted by the nation your team plays for.
The Cup rankings and tournament are set before a season begins and are based on results from the previous season. Teams are ranked, starting in the top division on down. Rankings for the cup never change during the season.
Order of play is:
- #1 plays the lowest
- #2 plays the second lowest, and so on.
The lower ranked of the two teams is the home team. 67% of the income from cup game ticket sales goes to the home team; 33% to the away team. Every country in Hattrick has a Cup and most countries give the opportunity for teams from every league level to earn a cup spot, though teams in the bottom divisions need a strong finish. Cup matches never end in a tie. A penalty shootout automatically ensues if the teams are tied after regular time. A loss in a cup match eliminates a team from the tournament.
Users participating in a Cup tournament are unable to schedule friendlies while they are participating.
