NED Rules Season 2 - Updated 13th April

Welcome to the NED!

Foreign transfers.

As the only deciding factor for selling a player is cash then there shouldn't be wrangles over if a TP is accepted or not, if you have the cash you can buy!
Max transfer value for bringing in a player from foreign transfers is £8.5m in Season 2 though this will rise by £0.5m every week.
You can only make 2 foreign transfers per week, this is reset at Midday every Tuesday.

Squads are locked at Midnight on Wednesday
No players brought in on tactics day can be used for that weeks tactics.

If any runners deems that a manager has attempted to circumvent the TP limit rules by using another manager's TP allowance, then it will be blocked. It will be discussed with the other runners and their decision will be final. If such an incident is deemed to have occured, then both managers involved will lose the equivalent of double the amount that has changed hands between them. The player will also be returned to the TP pool and be available to all managers except for the two found guilty.

Lawyers

You will receive three lawyers per week at TM + 25%. You MUST sell one of these players either to lawyers or domestically. Failure to do so will result in the highest value one being accepted by your board. YOU WILL RECEIVE ONLY 50% OF THIS VALUE SO THAT YOUR BOARD CAN INCREASE THEIR TRUST FUNDS



Domestic transfers

For anyone that joins the league after it begins then the following rule applies for the first two weeks:

For any deal made with a new manager in the first two weeks, the 20% rule will apply. (All managers that have been in a league will not be classed as new weather Euro Div/Europa League/Premier League.)

Note that once 2 weeks have passed then the manager is allowed to buy and sell as they please but this rule is in place to combat new managers being robbed of their star players and the team being weakened.

Transfers that are stacked heavily in one party's favour may be reviewed by the runners and canceled if it is held that it is unfair for it to stand.

Emmergency Loans
You can loan a Goalkeeper in as an emmergency, the keepers can have a maximum TM value of £750k. The cost of the loan will be £1m per game week



Transfermarketing Players/Releasing Players
Players can be released to free up squad space, You will receive no money for doing so and will be charged 50% of their TM fee to do so as "compensation to the player"

Any player that is released cannot be repurchased from releases by the same club until the following season.
You can nominate one player a week to transfermarket, this will give you a 4th lawyer (this one at TM-25%)

Injuries

Injuries shall be announced every week. 4 players shall be drawn at random from each club.
Selling a player will NOT heal the injury.

Tactics

Each week you shall play 1 game
As well as the tactical instructions we encourage a team talk to motivate your players, show your worth not just for tactics but how you build players up for the game!

Cash

Each week you receive £500k for submitting tactics and 500k for voting on time.

Neither bonus can be added until the runners have announced they can.


Tactics & Voting

Tactics and voting are to be in promptly on the dates required.
If these deadlines are not met then the following happens:

1. The offending party receives a -1 goal to their score immediately.
2. If after 24 hours they have failed to still hand in tactics then they receive a default loss for that week.
3. If this happens on a regular basis the manager shall be removed from their position.

If there is a valid reason as to why you cannot provide tactics or votes on time then this must be informed to the league runner as soon as possible.

Votes must be issued with reasoning behind the scores awarded to the teams. Failure to do so will result in the deduction of your weekly bonus.

Results

Results will be calculated by dividing the total amount of goals scored (by each team) by the amount of votes received.
An additional goal will be added for every 3 more win votes your team receives than your opponent in the event of the game being a draw. If the result is already a win for the team receiving the extra goal then the additional goal will not be added.
We will round down

6th-11th 15m

End of Season Lawyers

Misc

If there is an oversight on a rule or the need for a decision to be made on the spot then the decision of the league runner is final and NOT to be argued. Any attempts to circumvent the rules and exploit loopholes will result in a fine/player loss at the discretion of the runners

Can we sign from releases?

As long as you didnt release them yes. 50%TM value

Does that include players released before the start of the season?

As zebs isn't around I'd say that any released before the start of the season would be available at TM value
