Mechanics of the Game
Eloodlit Soccer PBeM is a web-based multi-player game where you take control of a football squad. Its your job to select the team and tactics for each game played , as well as look after other aspects of the club including training players, player transfers and contracts,submitting match reports, selecting team-lineups/style of play etc, etc.

You can access your clubs details at any time though the web interface and perform actions that have a real-time effect on your club.

Matches are played at regular times with the result and commentary posted after each. The match processing schedule is published within the game.

Getting Started
So you've just taken control of your team but you're not sure what to do next.

The first thing you need to do is get your squad ready and pick your team for its first match under your managerial control.
    1. On the side menu select (squad)

    here you are able to view all the players in your squad and review their skills and abilities. For the time being, just take a note of their fitness and rating levels. With these in mind we move onto first team selection.

    2. On the side menu select (team selection)

    You should first choose your team which consists of 11 players (make sure to include a gk!!) This is written as player position,(gk,dl,dr,dc,ml,mr,mc,al,ar,ac) and then the players squad number: i.e.gk21,dl13,dc12,dr27,dc37 etc.

    After you have selected your starting 11 ENTER a STYLE of PLAY 

    Styles of play are: NM=normal/DF=defensive/AT=attacking/MD=midfield dominance/OA=All out attack/OD=all out defence

    TRAINING

    Next ENTER the players you want to train that week.

    This is written as...kp=keeping skills/tk=defence skills/ps=passing skills and finally sh=shooting skills.

    Example:- kp1 (player 1 is receiving keeping skills for training.tk2 (player2 is training on his tackling skills) and so on.

    You can train ONLY the players that are NOT in the first team line up for that week.

    Please note that training will effect your players fitness levels also, so sometimes its better RESTING players some weeks to build up their fitness levels.

    The idea of the mechanics is to base your squad on a rotation system!!

    Once you have entered the Team Selection/STYLE of PLAY/TRAINING you can enter your 

    MANAGERS ORDERS

    These manager orders tell the programme all the other related data that affect your Club.

    Re-new players contracts(R2 134  would read Renew players' 134 contract for 2 years.

    CT2 would read Cut plater 2 from roster i.e. release player 2 from your squad

    Mn would read change the Managers name. i.e. this could be to change your name

    Other conditions are on the main menu page under RULES

That should be enough to get you started - once you are more comfortable with the game, you can explore more aspects of the game. You can access many more management pages through the menu bar at the side of the screen.
