Top 100 Rules

Top 100 is competitive, but it is also a community. The rules exist to keep the game world fair, active and enjoyable rather than to create admin for its own sake.

This page at /rules/ is the canonical current rulebook for Top 100.

The short version

Managers are expected to stay active, communicate, respect agreed deals and follow the game world’s squad, transfer and competition rules.

Top 100 uses a maximum 50-player squad limit and has additional rules around transfers, loans, new players entering the database, friendly competitions, forfeits and sanctions.

The Youth Cup and World Club Cup are run as Top 100 competitions alongside the Soccer Manager league structure. Current formats, fixtures and organiser information belong in the Tournaments app:

https://youth-cup.smtop100.blog/

This will move to tournaments.smtop100.blog when the tournament site is renamed.

Rule changes and decisions

Rule changes should be recorded, dated and — where appropriate — decided through manager voting using the shared Top 100 voting system.

Detailed historical rules should be preserved separately as Rules History so that older disputes or claims can be checked against the rule that actually applied at the time.

Future rule-adjudication tools may identify the relevant rule and suggest a ruling, but contentious decisions should still require human confirmation and leave an audit trail.

Top 100 and Top 100 Regen

Top 100 Regen is a separate sister game world. The two worlds share the same broad values and community standards, but they may have different competition, squad or transfer rules.

Regen-specific rules should remain clearly identified on the Regen site rather than being mixed into the Top 100 rulebook.

Legacy rules

The former standalone rules site at rules.smtop100.blog is historical infrastructure and should eventually redirect here once the rewritten rulebook and Rules History are complete.

This draft is the structure for the rewritten current rulebook. The detailed current rules still need to be brought across, simplified and checked before /rules/ becomes authoritative.
