Top 100 is a gameworld setup with 100 teams from across the globe, divided into 5 divisions of 20 teams. Each division has 4 promoted teams & 4 relegated teams per season with the bottom 2 clubs of each division getting sacked (see 'Sackings' below). Additional to generic sackings based upon finishing within the bottom 2 of each division, Top 100 also offers a self-imposed 'Managerial Stipulations' system where by managers can furthermore resign / be sacked based upon underachieving goals set within their individual clubs (see 'Managerial Stipulations' below).
The game world has adapted it's own laws to enforce fair play within the transfer market & to keep the game world fun & competitive ensuring that no shady background agreements can be used in order to manipulate the game for personal gain or advantage over other members of the Top 100 community.
Top 100 has various in house competitions such as the 'Youth Cup' & 'World Club Championship' independently run via the use of the friendlies system within the game world to add further competition & ability to achieve success in the game world.
Squad Limit
The squad limit for the gameworld has been set at 50, currently this is a gentleman's agreement, but if anyone does take the piss they will have zero chance of ever getting a bigger club or ever getting back in the world (if sacked).

Managerial Stipulations
Manager Stipulations is the idea of imposing criteria in order to challenge yourself to maintain realistic standards of achievement for the club you manage within Top 100.
It is key to note that self-imposed stipulations are completely voluntary & no manager within Top 100 is asked to apply such criteria to their management of a club. These stipulations are proposed as a means of keeping the game world forward thinking, competitive, realistic & fair to all within Top 100 & are the basis of sporting / gentlemanly conduct in keeping to any proposed stipulations which cannot be enforced by Frank Hirst / any of the Top 100 community. If a manager decides that despite failing to meet their pre-season stipulations they do not want to resign that is their own decision to make & cannot be accused of any wrong doing as such.

Additional 'TPO' & 'Loan Transfer' Bans Information
Third Party Deals Ban
Third Party Deals / Ownership (TPO) is banned in Top 100.
This ban refers to the premise of agreeing deals with other managers (Signing player(s)) however not signing them so that they (the player) do not complete the set transfer ban all players must complete when moving clubs.
A transfer becomes a TPO when a player has been essentially owned by 3 clubs however has only actually been within the squad of 2 of the 3 clubs, therefore using a loophole to transfer the player in another deal but avoid the transfer ban at the club within the initially agreed deal.
Example;
Club A & Club B agree a transfer for Lionel Messi (Club A) in exchange for Cristiano Ronaldo (Club B) & Gareth Bale (Club B).
Lionel Messi (Club A) is sold in exchange for Cristiano Ronaldo (Club B) in a straight swap leaving Gareth Bale (Club B) to be transferred at a later date for whatever reason, be it transfer ban time, lack of funds to complete the deal or to ensure that Club A does not breach the 50 player limit rule.
Down the line, Club A agrees a deal to sell Gareth Bale to Club C in exchange for Antoine Griezmann (Club C) however Gareth Bale is still playing for Club B, having not yet transferred to Club A.
This agreed deal between Club A & Club C for the swap of Gareth Bale & Antoine Griezmann is only fine (Legit) once Gareth Bale has transferred from Club B to Club A as was initially agreed upon in the original deal (Lionel Messi for Cristiano Ronaldo + Gareth Bale).
Gareth Bale must transfer to Club A & serve his transfer ban before moving to Club C in exchange for Antoine Griezmann without exception.
This rule / ban was voted for by the Top 100 community, 10/2016.
Loan Transfers Deals
Loan Transfers are banned in Top 100.
This ban refers to the manipulation of transferring players with another club for a brief period of time before transferring them back to the original clubs in order to remove player concerns from players.
No deals, no matter the level of concern can be completed between clubs if the premise of the transfer is essentially a loan where by the players will return to their original clubs prior to the transfer at a later date.
Example
Club A & Club B agree a deal to transfer Danny Rose (Club A - Level 2 concern) for Luke Shaw (Club B - Level 4 concern) with the premise that these players will transfer back to their original club at a future date in order to remove the ‘Player Concern’ each player has to avoid a potential Level 5 concern resulting in the player becoming available for a transfer without the managers need for approval / rejection on the offers.
Sackings
As of Season 2, the bottom 2 clubs of each division will get sacked. The sackings will be setup within the gameworld rules, but will be conditional, eg. if a manager has had back to back promotions, joined mid season or have a much weaker side than the rest of the league they may get offered back their job. If you don't get offered the same job back then you will get offered a lower league club. You may not got offered any job back if you are deemed to be inactive. You may also receive your job back if there is no interest from other managers within the gameworld.
If the home team offers but doesn't get a response then they get 3-0 win, if the away team pm's the home manager at least 24 hours before the game that isn't scheduled and it isn't set up then 3-0 away win...if neither of these, both teams receive a 3-0 loss on the league table...
Fictional Extra Time over 2 legs: If there is no winner over 2 legs via away goals then there will be a goal for 1) team with most possession 2) team with most shots ON target 3) Team who scored the earliest goal over 2 legs...if it still a draw then the team with the most corners over 2 legs will progress...
World Club Cup
Fictional Extra Time over 2 legs: If there is no winner over 2 legs via away goals then there will be a goal for 1) team with most possession 2) team with most shots ON target 3) Team who scored the earliest goal over 2 legs...if it still a draw then the team with the most corners over 2 legs will progress...
Manager & Player Awards
There will be a Manager of the year award per division where each manager will have upto 1 vote per division and will be sent via PM to Frank Hirst.
The same will be done for Player Awards, each manager can nominate 1 player & young young player (max age 21 at start of season) and once again, each manager will have upto 1 vote per player & per young player for each of the 5 divisions (again sent by pm to FH).
How do I get to manager a bigger/other team?
When a manager leaves, bigger clubs will be offered within the gameworld first of all. The way in which to get a bigger club is down to a number of factors;
i) How successful you have been with your current club
ii) How active you have been on the newsfeed
iii) How active you have been on the blog
iv) Transfer activity with other managers
v) You have not received any reprimands (As listed below).
Top 100 - Transfer Bans
The part of Top 100 that we don't like to do but must enforce to keep the game world fun and running according to rules & regulations.
If you believe another manager is in a position of breaching any of the rules & regulations you can feel free to provide any information via 'screen shots' which can be sent to Frank Hirst DP 91 Stephen Beddows rather than posted publicly on the Top 100 news feed which could result in unnecessary or heated confrontations.
Manager Reprimands
These can be awarded to managers whom have breached rules & regulations which can count against a manager in the future when applying to take control of another available club & in drastic scenarios can result in a managers removal from the game world.
These can be awarded to a manager if you believe a manager has;
- Breached the agreement to keep a squad below the 50 man limit total.
- Accepted a transfer offer to then cancel the transfer / back out of a deal.
- Breaching additional transfer laws.
*Transfers that are pre-agreed by both Managers and are active on the 'Future Transfers' page of the blog can still be completed with 1 or both of the managers under a transfer ban.
