Top 100 Rules

Top 100 aims for fair play, respect, and community engagement, overseen by the Top 100 FA and all-Manager polls for rule changes.

Key Rules for Managers:

• Conduct: Be active and communicative.
• Squads: Maximum 50 players, including those on loan to your club. Exceeding this leads to a transfer ban. Loans are generally allowed except in the Youth Cup.
• Transfers:
  • Agreed deals are binding, with a 5-minute grace period for genuine mistakes on system-accepted bids without prior agreement.
  • Bids for new players entering the game database are public, max one million (cash only). Transfer ban for bidding higher.
  • No re-purchasing players you sold with concerns for 52 weeks.
  • Third-Party Ownership (TPO) and using “holding” clubs to circumvent rules are banned.
  • Future transfers or pre-agreed deals (for players under ban) must be publicly declared.
• Competitions:
  • Includes league divisions (4 up, 4 down ), and friendly competitions exclusive to Top 100 (World Club Cup and Youth Cup).
  • Managers are responsible for arranging friendly cup fixtures; failure can lead to forfeits and elimination.
  • Ties in knockout cups are decided by away goals, then Fictional Extra Time (FET) based on possession, shots on target, and first goal scored.
  • Youth Cup has specific player age eligibility (U21 at season start) and no loans.
• Enforcement:
  • Report rule breaches privately to the admin.
  • Transfer bans (typically 1 month for first offense) for violations like exceeding squad cap or cancelling deals. Repeat offenders face longer bans and removal from the game world.
  • Sackings for finishing bottom 3 in any division or prolonged inactivity.
  • Reprimands can be issued for minor breaches.
• Top 120: A waiting room/ feeder league for new managers and those seeking to return to Top 100.
