⚠️⚠️⚠️ Season break is coming — here's exactly how it works

This is our first season break, so here's the full rundown of what to expect.

Schedule

• Last Season 1 games: Monday, 20.07, 18:00 UTC / 20:00 CEST
• Season rollover: same day, 20.07, 24:00 UTC / 21.07, 02:00 CEST — this only triggers once all games have been played. If any are still pending, it shifts a day later under the same condition
• First Season 2 games: Monday, 27.07 — a full week later
• Yes, the break is long. It's a direct consequence of the 3-games-a-week schedule (Monday to Monday), but it also opens up room for future between-season content like playoffs, cups, or a World Cup
• I'll also be enabling V2 game engine available in friendly games also in league games during the break

What the rollover does

• Promotions and relegations across all regions
• Form resets to 5 for everyone
• Player aging (double-checked — no players on human-managed teams will retire this rollover)
• Juniors grow
• New schedules generated
• Trophies and manager stats updated
• Sponsor payout: 500k for everyone, plus a 200k bonus for promoted clubs

What won't happen

• Idle teams won't be removed just yet. Many of them joined when leagues were still empty and likely went inactive because of that — removing them without giving them a real chance to come back doesn't feel right. I'll be reaching out to reactivate them before deciding on next steps

See you in Season 2. I hope to complete a couple of improvements before Season 2 starts, so stay tuned — and play friendly games in the meantime to get a feel for the V2 engine.
