Yes, you can join during the season or just use the results, statistics and the Game Center. But we recommend to join from the beginning of the season to collect as many points as possible. This is the only way to play for the championship title.

How does the transfer market work?
On the transfer market you can buy and sell players during the qualification (Regular Season). If you want to sell a player, the transfer market will always make you an offer equal to the market value. Of course, your competitors can also make you an offer. You decide to whom the transfer will go. The player will be transferred immediately after the offer is accepted and the amount will be credited to your account. On the transfer market, you can see the players offered by the app as well as the players placed on the transfer market by your competitors. During the playoffs (incl. play-in series) the transfer market will be closed. Your players that you put on the transfer market and don't get an offer will run out of time and will be automatically removed from the transfer market.

What happens to the players who are no longer in the National League?

Why can't I see the player portraits?
Usually all player portraits are available (directly from the league interface), but they are only displayed with the upgrade / member status. For transfers during the season it can happen that the portrait of the new player is waiting.
When is the best time to start a league?
The ideal time is before the season starts at the end of August. Then all the teams' squads are updated and up to date.
What happens after the season?
Off-Season: It gets exciting again at the end of August, when the rosters are updated. Then you have three options: You continue to play in the same league with the same roster (the points always start at zero at the beginning of the season), you start with a new roster + budget ("Reset League") or you start completely new ("Create League").
What happens in the off-season over the summer (May-September)?
That's when it's called recovering and enjoying the off-season. The best thing to do is to follow the transfers of the clubs so that you are ready for September.
When are the teams' rosters updated for the new season?
The rosters are updated at the end of August.
Where can I see which players are in the line-up for a match?
As a member you can see the player status "In the line-up" in the live area. You can also see the line-up of all teams in the Gamecenter.
Why can't I line up any more imports?
Only 6 Imports are allowed per team (Attention, Import-Goalie counts too).
Reset league or create a new one?
As long as the admin does not reset the league, everything remains as it is. With the option "reset league" all managers stay in the league and get a new roster as well as the initial starting budget (points start at zero). When creating a new league, you will need to re-invite the managers.
What is the difference between a private or a public league?
In the private league, only those who have been invited by you or by the managers in the league can join. In the public league, other Topscorers users can join at will until the league is "full".
Can I make my league public afterwards?
Yes, you can change the visibility of the league in the league settings.
When do I see the status of the players "In Line-Up" (members only)?
Approx. 30-60min before the game starts.
What does the status "In Line-Up" in the live area mean?
The player will be in the line-up for the upcoming match (not injured, not absent, not surplus).
How does the Challenge Mode work?
The Challenge Mode offers you the opportunity to prove your Hockey Manager skills against the entire community. Every hockey player is available in every user team, and all users compete against each other in a joint challenge. You can compete with others in a nationwide ranking list and try to take over the top position. In each round, you set up your best team, choosing a block + a goalkeeper with your best players and a budget of CHF 2 million. At the end of each round there is a winner. You can change your line-up daily to react to new market value developments, but make sure that your budget of CHF 2 million is not exceeded, otherwise no points will be awarded. You cannot change your line-up after the official start of the match and your account balance must not be in the red at the start of the matchday, otherwise you will not receive any points. Prove your skills and secure victory in the weekly challenges!
