Systeemynformaasje

We've had a database issue that caused the site to slow down for around an hour before it was fixed. It is not a serious problem at all, but to avoid it from coming back we will need more investigation and maintenance. There is a risk that we may see the issue again this weekend, but next week we hope to solve it.

Transfers ending during that "slow period" and a few minutes later have been extended.

Edit: The issue appeared again around 1pm (HT-Time) and has been solved in a few minutes. Transfers ending during that period have been extended as well.

We have fixed two bugs, one affected coach updates and the other youth player promotions.

The first caused non-player coaches to not lose leadership over time as they normally would have done. This benevolent state of affairs (at least for the teams affected) has now ended, and all coaches will now regularly lose leadership in equal measure as their players get tired of what they have to say.

The second bug caused youth players to not always get the correct amount of experience when being promoted into the senior team. This is fixed since Friday, and for all upcoming updates.

In yesterday training update, the training update for some players failed. The bug affected around half the players randomly. It also affected last Monday's drops, but we will not probably do anything about those, since it's half the players evenly spread around teams, therefore some will just be lucky to miss a drop.

The bug has been mostly fixed and the players who missed training have been updated with the training type and % of intensity/stamina that they had during the failed training update. However, it was not possible to use the staff that they had during the original training update, so the current staff was used instead.

The youth pulls that missed the training update received the training later on. There are also some presentational issues, which will be addressed once the most urgent fixes are done.

The affected players who were transferred in between didn't receive the update.

About last week's training, it doesn't seem to be affected so far, but we're still investigating. Once we solve this week's training, we will dig deeper into last week's.

We apologise for the inconvenience caused by this issue.

Some of this week's Cup matches, almost all of them in Poland, but also including a small number of matches in 23 other leagues, were affected by a bug that caused some street teams to field less than 11 players, in some cases even resulting in walk-overs. The bug has been fixed, but sadly the matches cannot be replayed. We sincerely apologise to all teams affected by this bug. However, please be aware that your players have received training as if they had played the match, and your team confidence, team spirit and formation experience were updated as usual. Players will receive this match's experience today, but you will not get a notification in case your player pops up a level of experience in this match.

This morning/early afternoon we were confronted with some server issues again. This time however we were able to restore services a lot earlier than last week even though we preferred this not to have happened at all. Any affected transfers have been extended by a couple of hours. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

It is now possible to sign up (if you have additional team slots available) to the new leagues Bahamas and Rwanda.

If you are closing an additional team, there will be a temporary exception to the regular 16 weeks rule, which means you will be able to get a new team immediately. However, this exception is only available if you use the Stage server - everyone using the regular server will need to wait until Monday.

If you are in this situation, either try to get access to Stage, where you will be able to sign up immediately, or wait until Monday.

Another small detail: The correct flags will also only be available on Stage until Monday.

De nije Hattrick-lannen (Rwanda en Bahama's) sille freedtemiddei 6 septimber om 15 CET iepen wêze foar registraasje.

We need to temporarily limit the amount of push notifications that goes out from matches to mobiles. We will still send notifications from the match start and match end, as well as any goals. However, missed chances, injuries, substitutions and so on will not be sent this coming week.

The reason is that we are working on an update to the messaging service, and this work coincides with the Generation Trophies, an event that significantly increases the amount of messages. We aim for this to return to normal by next weekend.

We are aware of a delay with training updates for the Hattrick International and Hattrick Anniversary League. This affected every team in the above leagues. The updates will be rescheduled for later today.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

Edit: In addition to training updates, several leagues with team updates between 09:54 and 10:56 got affected. However, everything has been fixed and all the updates, training and team, have been finished now.

The transfer market were closed between yesterday morning and this afternoon, due to the access problems of Hattrick.org. With these problems (mostly) solved, we are opening the transfer again. Given that this is the last league round of the season, we needed to strike balance between extending deadline by many hours (to ensure the market finds the right price for the player) and still in time for the last league round of as many leagues as possible. For this reason, transfers have been extended in such a way that most of them have deadlines tonight between 20 and 24 CET. This gives teams a chance to bid for players, as well as a chance for managers to buy back players they no longer want to sell. We know this might not be the ideal solution for some of you, but given the circumstances, we think is the better way to handle it for the majority of teams.

Ús datacenter ûnderfynt in fersteuring yn har netwurktsjinsten. Se ûndersykje it mar oant alles oplost is, kinne Hattrick-webside en mobile app ûnberikber of traach wurde.

Wy ferûntskuldigje ús foar it ûngemak dat dit jim feroarsake ha kin.

Sûnt ferline wike hawwe wy de kânsen om in doelferdigener te finen yn beide jeugdsystemen ferbettere as do dyn skouts bellest. Doe't wy oergongen fan it âlde skoutnetwurk nei it nije gearfoege systeem, waard it lykwicht oangeande doelferdigeners fersteurd, wat resultearre yn in ferhege oantal keepers mei tige lege feardichheden. Wylst de topdoelferdigeners net beynfloede wurde, hawwe wy no it oantal 'ballefangers' fermindere.

De side liket langsum te wurkjen, benammen by it oanmelden. Wy besykje it probleem te finen.

Update: it probleem soe oplost wêze moatte. As jim ​​noch problemen ûnderfine, kinne jim kontakt mei ús opnimme.

De lotting foar de earste rûnde fan de Hattrick Masters is dien.
Dit is de earste edysje fan it toernoai mei mear as 256 ploegen dy't dielnimme, dêrom sille de HT Masters dit seizoen 9 omlopen hawwe:

Rûnde 1: Moandei 24 Juny 16:00 (wike 5)
Rûnde 2: Tongersdei 27 Juny 20:00 (wike 5)
Rûnde 3: Moandei 1 July 16:00 (wike 6)
Rûnde 4: Tongersdei 4 July 20:00 (wike 6)
Rûnde 5: Moandei 8 July 16:00 (wike 7)
Rûnde 6: Tongersdei 11 July 20:00 (wike 7)
Rûnde 7: Moandei 15 July 16:00 (wike 8)
Rûnde 8: Tongersdei 18 July 20:00 (wike 8)
Rûnde 9: Tongersdei 25 July 20:00 (wike 9)

Fanwege in probleem dat feroarsake dat it net mooglik wie om biedingen op bepaalde spilers te pleatsen, hawwe wy de oerstapmerk tydlik stopset wylst wy wurken oan in oplossing. It probleem is no oplost en alle oerstappen tusken 20:48 en 21:23 CET binne mei ien oere ferlingd. Wy ferûntskuldigje ús foar it ûngemak dat dit jim feroarsake ha kin.

We want to announce that Homegrown League will have 2 promotions per season going forward and until teams reach the top division. This means that the top two teams in each series at the end of the season will be automatically promoted to the next higher division. This changed is aligned with the rule we have in similar special leagues, where we provide more opportunities for growth inside the league, as well as to reduce the impact of bots. At the same time, "lucky losers" from the lower division will also get an extra promotion to replace the bots in V division.

The promotions will be handled manually and not at the same time as the rest of the leagues. This means, there will always be a gap of a few days between other leagues and HGL promotions.

Thank you and we wish you a season full of joy.

Teams across Hattrick has not received their league prize money and promotion bonuses as expected today. We are well aware of this and will work to solve this issue as soon as possible. It may very well not be until Monday that the issue is properly solved, but rest assured, the money will come.

From the next season on, the weather for the day after will not be a forecast that may or may not change, but it will show the actual weather with total certainty. This will help users set the lineup one day prior to the match knowing 100% sure what the weather will be.

Besides this, in some countries we've also changed one weather update that was too close in time to some National Team matches, in order to avoid an unlikely (but possible) situation in which a delay in the weather update could make a NT match be played with the weather of the day before. The affected countries are Liechtenstein and Finland (on Mondays), and Switzerland, Paraguay, Bolivia and Ecuador (on Fridays).

Due to several reasons, we've also had to move the match times of most of the countries on the American continent - Brazil, Panama, Uruguay, Peru, Colombia, Belize, USA, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Mexico and Argentina. After gathering feedback and votes from the local communities, we rearranged the match times from the next season onwards in the affected countries by trying to cause the least inconvenience to the local users.

The new league, Guinea, is now open and ready to welcome all the users that want to open a team there. And as to the Homegrown League, all teams and series have now been created, and there are only a few slots left for more teams.

Along with this, we want to announce that three existing leagues will expand next week, adding a fourth division to each. Those leagues are Belize, RD Congo and Botswana. These expansions will make room in the leagues both for more local users and for new additional teams, just in case you have been waiting for your chance to join.

In addition to that, we want to inform you about the rebranding of one of the new achievements after receiving feedback from several users. The "Goal-Getter" achievement has been renamed as "Club 200" and the top 2 ranks have been reduced to 150 and 200 goals.

The Homegrown League will open tomorrow morning, and the size of it has now been set to 5 divisions only. This means that slots will be limited, and as we write this, around 200 are left.

If you have not yet done it, you still have the chance to pre-register and secure a team.

If you have been hoping to open up two teams in the Homegrown League, you will only be able to attempt this once the first round of pre-registered teams has been created. Perhaps there will be a small window of opportunity for this tomorrow morning.

The same goes for managers that hope to register a team in Homegrown League originating from our new country, Guinea. Guinea will only be created after the Homegrown League has opened, which means you will need to wait until after all pre-registered teams have been created. The risk of not getting a space at all in Homegrown League will be high if you aim for this.

There will be no mid-week friendlies in the Homegrown League this first week. This means that the first training update, on Friday morning, will have some negative impact on background form and stamina. But this will be the same for all your competitors. We wanted to avoid some teams being lucky enough to book a friendly in the first week while others missed out.
