Transfer market edit

A transfer market opened among all participating teams in the month of April 2023, between the Winter and Summer Splits. The rules of the market were outlined in separate livestreams before the end of the Winter Split regular season:[10][11]

  • The market will operate in a way similar to a virtual economy, with each team starting with a virtual €100 million budget.
  • Each team chairperson can set a buyout clause for their team's ten regular players. The combined amount of money allocated by a team in the buyout clause values cannot exceed €300 million, and every player's buyout clause must be worth a minimum €1 million. There is no maximum value for a single player's buyout clause, as long as the team complies with the €300 million cap. If a team chairperson fails to present the buyout clause values by the agreed deadline, all their players will have a €30 million buyout clause.
  • Guest players (11th and 12th Players) are excluded from the market.
  • Teams can sign players through two different methods:
    • Buying a player out by paying the amount of money stipulated in his buyout clause. If a buyout is completed, the player cannot refuse to leave his current team; however, if multiple teams attempt a buyout for the same player, the player is allowed to choose which team he will join.
    • Negotiation between team chairpersons, which can include trading: players can be swapped for other players or exchanged for future draft picks.
  • There will be a total of four transfer windows. During the first window, only signing through buyout will be allowed.
  • If a buyout is activated for a player for whom an offer had been accepted but not notified to the league, the buyout prevails over the offer.
  • The money teams have left after the market ends can be spent during the Summer Split in purchasing additional secret weapons (including the possibility of adding a "13th Player" for a match), or paying fines.

Summer Split (May–July 2023) edit

A new points system for the Summer Split was announced on 24 April 2023:

  • 3 points for a win during regular time.
  • 2 points for a penalty shoot-out win.
  • 1 point for a penalty shoout-out loss.
  • 0 points for a loss during regular time.[12]

This system, as well as the new playoff format, will also be used in the Queens League.
