1. Finances
1.0 SFFL Finances
The finances of each team is the responsibility of that teams manager.
2. Currency
2.0 SFFL Official Currency
The SFFL Official Currency is £
3. Bank Balance
3.0 Bank balance details
The team's bank balance will be updated, but it is for your good to make
your own calculations to check your money moves. You can find an update of
clubs finances at the Download page on this website.
3.1. Debt
If your bank balance reaches below zero, you will have 4 weeks to recover
this money. If after 4 weeks you have still not recovered, the SFFL Board
will Auction your best player.
Note: Make sure you are out of debt, or close enough to it that gate
receipts from upcoming games will recover all debt BEFORE the Transfer
Deadline passes.
4. Income
4.0 Source of income
Teams income will be primarily from their gate receipts, sponsor contract,
selling players, media prizes, manager of the moth prizes and TV income.
5. Expenses
5.0 General Expenses
Teams expenses will be primarily on salaries for the players, buying
players and stadium renovations.
6. Salaries
6.0 Player's Salaries
The wages formula is as follows:
A = mainskill * mainskill * (mainskill + 3) * 6;
B = secondskill * secondskill * mainskill * 5;
C = thirdskill * thirdskill * secondskill * 5;
Wage = (A+B+C)* a number that differs for each league
wages times by:
45 in div1
35 in div2
25 in div3
keeping a large squad of players will cost you a lot, and at some stage
the salaries may overcome the gate receipts.
7. Stadiums
7.0 Teams home grounds
The capacity of the stadium can be increased by paying £200,000 for every
extra 1000 seats. To increase your stadium capacity send an email to the
League Administrator with Stadium Increase Request in the subject line,
and in the body of the email include the team name, manager's name, number
of seats to increase by, and the cost. The minimum number of seats allowed
to increase by is 5,000 and a team may only increase it's stadium once per
season.
Maximum Stadium Capacity Division 1 - 70,000
7.1. Gate Receipts & Ticket Prices
The most important source of money income in the SFFL is the gate receipts
paid by spectators who come to see your home games.
The number of fans coming will be resulted by:
1. Table Position of your and your opponent.
2. The division you are in
3. The clubs history (more recent history has more weighting than older
history).
Gate receipts are divided as follows
Home team gets 100%
7.2 Maintenance
This will cost £2 per seat in your ground
each week. So a team with a ground of 10,000 pays 20,000 maintenance
each week
8. Sponsorship
8.0 Sponsorship income
One way a club makes some money is through sponsorship. Sponsorship is a
once a season payment made to the club. The actual sponsor is unimportant,
and managers can choose who will sponsor them by going to the sponsor page
then emailing the commissioner before the start of the season
9. Financial Benefit
9.0 End-Of-Season Financial Benefit
At the end of each season, each club is given an amount of money,
determined by the SFFL Board based on where they finished in the league.
The higher a team finishes, the more money they receive.
*the board holds the
right to change their decisions at any time*
