The analyzer package and live games – what do they do ?

There are two tools available that allow you to watch a game. Both of these are included in a paid subscription service. One is a pseudo “live game” where you load the game and watch. The other is the “Analyzer” which allows viewing the game but also has the ability for forwarding and rewinding. The Analyzer is ideal for trying to understand the weaknesses in your teams position on the pitch. Can you tell for instance whether you have an area that is left wide open that your opponents are making use of? It has the interesting side effect of being able to analyze a game that has just started and forward to then end to see what the end result was without having to wait for the final score on the web site.

The strip used in the 3D Live isnt the same as my strip

The colours chosen in the strip in 3D Live is actually Color 1 of your strip.  So if you have a white shirt with black stripes, because the strips is Color 1, your shirt will look black in 3D Live.

How is ranking calculated?

Only Crew knows how exactly it is calculated. But some important factors to increase ranking are, in order of importance:

1) League results (higher division gets more points for each match).
2) Official Cup results (hosted by Crew).
3) Friendly match results.
4) Financial status.

Your performance over that period of time gives you points. (See “How do I find out how many points I’ve got”). The number of points you have compared to other teams determines your rank.
The rankings are worked out on the last 8 weeks performance. So if you drop in ranking, it maybe because you had a better result 8 weeks to the result you just got. Or it maybe because other teams have gained more points that you, so although your points have increased, others have done better.

National rankings are calculated by taking the top 100 ranked from each country.

How do I find out many points I’ve got?

Goto the “My Team” screen. Put the mouse cursor over the rank and leave it there for a few seconds and your rank will pop up.

How do I put graphics in Word From the Owner?

Goto “Club” -> “Team” -> “Edit Info”

In the section that says team you can put something in the following format:

             <IMG SRC=http://URL TO A GRAPHIC>

Note that the graphic needs to be a .jpg or .gif .  The Microsoft .bmp format is not suitable.
