Top 100 is a long-running custom Soccer Manager game world built around 100 clubs in five divisions of 20.

It began in 2015 and has grown into a community with its own competitions, rules, records, awards, manager-written stories and more than a decade of history.

The main smtop100.blog site is the public front door: news, club stories, season previews and reviews, match reports and important game-world announcements.

How Top 100 works

Four clubs are promoted and four relegated from each division every season. Managers at the bottom of each division also face dismissal, so survival can matter just as much as promotion and titles.

Away from the league, managers compete in the Youth Cup and World Club Cup, vote in the end-of-season Manager Awards, and take part in Community Polls that help shape rules and the way the game world is run.

The current rulebook is always available at Rules. Community Poll results remain public through the Top 100 voting system.

Two game worlds, one community

Top 100 is the original game world. Top 100 Regen launched in 2025 as its younger sister world, with another 100 clubs, its own managers and seasons, and a small number of Regen-specific rule differences.

Both are part of the same wider Top 100 community.

Our history

Top 100 was founded by Frank Hirst in 2015. Ownership later passed to David Marsden, then Stephen Beddows, before returning to David in 2023.

August 2025 marked the game world’s 10th anniversary and the launch of Top 100 Regen. The blog preserves thousands of posts written by managers over the years, while the Stats & History archive preserves the structured record of seasons, honours and managers.
