S21 Hollywood Illegal Tactics Punishment - RashfordU - 2025-08-09
Prior to MD18, Hollywood self-reported that they submitted illegal tactics (player instructions) in two match day's during the S21 Season. The Board reviewed the files and noted 3 tactical infractions. The Matchday's affected were MD6, MD7, and MD15. EDIT: MD7 was not an error by Hollywood, this was a Simmer error with importing new tactics. Hollywood's mistakes are MD6 and MD15.
Upon review of the file and discussions within the board. The board has determined to bring forward the following punishment:
All members of Hollywood Management (OMs and AMs), as well as their Tactician will face a 50% Pay Loss for the S21 Season.
We understand that in the past, precedent would indicate a 1st infraction warning. The Board felt that given 2 separate matchday's had illegal tactics, that the first infraction precedence needed to be skipped.
This incident has also given good reason for the board to review and reflect on how the board deals with these infractions.
Prior to the start of S22, the board will be releasing new guidelines on illegal tactic punishments, as well as opening up a new job for file auditing to help mitigate and prevent future illegal tactics being used.

Edit: To provide further clarity, one of Hollywood's Management group is a member of the SSL Board of Directors. This user was removed from all aspects of the investigation and punishment discussion.

So an explicitly regulated rule was broken to give the team currently top of the league an unfair advantage in 2 potentially title deciding matches and the punishment is 50% pay? Sign me up for a punishment next season please!
