A position is available for a graphic/sticker designer to join our Sticker team

The responsibilities of a sticker designer are as follows:

'Kitswaps’

This is the main responsibility of a sticker designer

Every player in the SSL has a ‘Render’ this can be a player, pokemon, a rock, or anything in between, for real players you will swap the kit of the IRL player for that of the club he plays for in the SSL.

For other renders, you can also choose to add a kit onto them, or a different way of showing that they play for a club.

As a sticker designer you will have to do at least 10 of these each season, but you are always welcome to do more.

Sticker template designs

The SSL stickers will come with various different variants, and all of those need an unique template.

As we don’t need as many sticker designs as we need renders, this is more of a secondary job, you will sometimes be asked to help design a sticker template that can be used for special stickers.

As part of your application, please include at least the following points:
- Discord and/or Forum username
- Player Name
- What graphic software you use and how proficient you are with it
- Examples of your artwork
- Other random things you would like to add that are relevant to the application

Job pay is a weekly PT Pass + $2.5m per season.
If you would like to apply for the position or have any questions, please message me on Discord (@Malino8444) or the forum (@Malino8444)]]>

Examples of day-to-day upkeep of the SSL include:

approving new players,
updating matchday results,
organizing discussions about rule changes,
hiring people for open positions,
helping out other departments when needed,
supervising organizations and individuals in relation to the Rulebook

BoD Intern

Board Interns are given a lighter and more specific individual workload than full Board Members (for example, handling player approvals or inputting the results of the games in our schedule) with the opportunity to take on more work as necessary/desired and will have the opportunity to get a taste of internal Board discussions. Interns will serve a one-season term. The intern position is intended for users without significant league experience to gain that experience and determine whether Board work is something that interests them long-term (likewise, if you apply for a Board Member position but we feel you may be short on experience, we may offer you an intern position instead).

Payment

Pay for a BoD Member is a weekly PT Pass and $3.5 million per season.
Pay for a BoD Intern is a weekly PT Pass and $2.5 million per season.

Application

Please PM myself (Zoone on discord) or any other Board Member on the forum with the following information or anything else you feel is important. Please also include in your application one or some of the areas of the day-to-day upkeep you feel your skill set would be best put to use. If you are applying specifically for Board Member/Board Intern and do not want us to consider you for the other position, please mention that as well. If you have any questions about the job prior to applying, please feel free to reach out to any of us!

Have you ever watched an SSL sim and listened to the commentators narrating the action on the pitch, and thought, “Pfft, I could do that easy”? Do you like screaming at the screen when a player scores an absolute worldie from thirty yards out, or a goalkeeper saves a do-or-die penalty in the dying seconds to send their team to the cup final? Do you fancy yourself a storyteller or a statistician at heart who has all kinds of tidbits about the sport or the league ready to fire off at a moment’s notice?

If you said “yes” to at least one of the above questions, you’ll fit right in with the SSL commentary team. We believe the sport of soccer (or football, if you prefer) is elevated by the figures whose voices are so inextricably tied to it—figures like Peter Drury, Jonathan Pearce and Martin Tyler, just to name a few. We’re always looking for people with a passion for the sport who aren’t shy about expressing their love for the game, and we’d be excited to welcome you to the fold! With the WSFC coming up, now’s the perfect time to join the team.

We’re currently hiring both Full-Time Commentators (FTCs) and Guest Commentators (GCs). The differences between the two positions are as follows:

Full-Time Commentator
-$400k per matchday commentated (for now…?)
-Must commentate a minimum of 7 matchdays per season (any combination of league, academy or cup)
-Must adhere to the SSL Commentary Guidelines
-Eligible for PT Pass
-Receive average of predictions TPE

Guest Commentator
-$400k per matchday commentated (for now…?)
-Must commentate a minimum of 1 matchday per season (any combination of league, academy or cup)
-Must adhere to the SSL Commentary Guidelines
-Not eligible for PT Pass
-Receive average of predictions TPE

While we’re specifically hoping to hire at least one FTC from this process, please don’t hesitate to apply if you would prefer to be a GC because of your schedule and/or IRL commitments. Anyone with a player currently in the SSL or the Academy is welcome to apply.

In order to apply for a commentary position, please answer the following questionnaire:

Code:
-Forum username:

-Discord username (if different):

-Time Zone (GMT):

-Are you primarily interested in being a Full-Time Commentator or a Guest Commentator?

-If you prefer to be a Guest Commentator, would you be open to potentially becoming full-time at some point in the future?

-What inspired you to apply to be a commentator?

-Do you have any prior experience with sim league or other commentary? If so, please describe.

-Are you able and willing to commit to following the SSL Commentary Guidelines?

-If you’re applying to be a Full-Time Commentator, are you able and willing to commit to commentating at least seven matchday videos per season? (For reference, this translates to roughly one matchday per week, although you’re absolutely welcome to do more.)

-Do you have any ideas for how you’d like to see the commentary department improve during your time here?

Please DM your responses to myself (@Metafiction) or any BoD member on Discord if you’d like to apply or if you have any questions.

Thanks for taking the time to read through this, and we hope to hear from you soon!]]>

With the recent changes to the league structure, the SSL now uses 4 separate FM files for the Major, Minor, Cup and Academy leagues, allowing us to work in parallel in regards to simming. What this means is that we now have the following weekly workload:

Tactic Deadlines for managers at noon Pacific / 15 Eastern / 21 CET on Mondays and Thursdays which is the earliest a simming session can start. With every tactic deadline there are between 2-4 sets of matchdays tied to it, see the SSL Calendar for a color coded example.
The first set of matchdays tied to a tactic deadline premiere on Youtube the day after and have slightly shorter simming deadlines in order to allow for commentary and post production, around 12-15 hours after the tactic deadline.
The second set of matchdays premiere at least 48 hours after the tactic deadline. What this means in practice is that there is a 36-39 hour window between the tactic deadline and the simmer deadline to record those, and the simmer of the first matchday of the set can most often technically start as early as the tactic deadline.
The Academy runs on a similar system with tactic deadlines on Sunday and Wednesday with premieres on Monday and Thursday respectively. No commentary is usually scheduled for those so there exists essentially a 24 hour window to sim.

As you can see, most days have the ability to be available for some form of simming. An average simming session takes 0.75-1.5 hours including importing tactics and recording the matchdays.

The formal responsibilities include:

Import tactics submissions to FM24
Record games at least once a week via OBS or other equivalent software,
Adhere to the Simming Guide
Submit timestamps of the game order to production team.

It is a requirement that you own or are able to acquire FM24. All users of the SSL, including managers may apply to the position, as we are able to restrict access to tactic submissions on a league and divisional basis.

If you would like to apply for the position or have any questions, please message me on the forum or on Discord (Canadice). You may also message any other BoD member.

As part of your application we would like it to include at least the following points:

Code:
Forum/Discord username:

Player Name:

Which days of the week would you be available to record?

Do you have experience with OBS as a recording software?

Other random things you would like to add that are relevant to the application.

Job pay is weekly PT Pass + $650k per matchday recorded.
