Manager Tasks and S13 File Issues
#1
Summary
The deadline for submitting manager tasks was last Wednesday, two days prior to the first games of the S13 season. At the time of the deadline we had multiple organizations not fulfilling the roster requirements either in terms of rostered players or salary cap (E.2 and E.4 of the Rulebook). Partially as a result of this and the fact that Football Manager had scheduled the Shield game after MD1 for both leagues, the Shield game was postponed until Saturday in order to give managers the time to get the rosters in order.

At the time of recording the sims for MD1, five rosters (A.C. Romana, CA Buenos Aires, Tokyo S.C., Athênai F.C., AS Paris) did not meet the requirements set by the Rulebook and the BoD decided to set players over the limit as ineligible and fill the starting XI with FM generated players instead. These players are comparable to 200-300 TPE players.

At the time of recording the sims for MD2 and Cup Group Game 1, CA Buenos Aires, Hollywood FC, and AS Paris did not fulfill the roster requirements and empty spaces in the starting formation was filled by FM generated players.

Consequences
This situation was in part caused by the prolonged off-season prior to S13 as part of the roster requirement is that max 3 IA status contracts are allowed to be assigned to the major league roster of an organization. The check for IA status contracts happens at the start of the season, the 8th of January, which in combination with the "last" events happening for S12 being in early December including regression, caused many contracts to change into the IA status.

The BoD decided prior to the deadline for MD2 to take an additional check of contract statuses based on the user's forum status (as we do when checking contract statuses normally at the beginning of the season), which as a result changed 8 players' contract statuses to Active. The managers were advised that a third and final check for this season were to happen on Wednesday the 24th and two more players' contract statuses were changed to Active at this time.

The Future
The BoD has voted in the following changes to the Rulebook that will hopefully clarify the Manager tasks, what happens if you fail to complete them and an addendum to the contract status checks. We will announce these details at a later time.

As is the norm, we (the Accountants) check the contract status at the start of the season listed in the Calendar and changes any contract status that does not correspond with the user's activity status on that day. (F.1.b.i and ii of the Rulebook). The BoD has voted in a third part of that rule that would help to reward active players that for whatever reason were considered IA at the start of the season.

Code:
iii. An Organizational Manager may request the BoD for a change from an IA status contract to an Active Status contract at anytime during the season if the user has posted in two consecutive Activity Checks. The Manager must provide relevant links to the player's posts.
