Hi friends,
Today I have an important announcement to make. The venues for the World Championships need to be settled and this is your chance to bring the tournament to your own country. From today we are accepting bids for organization of all three divisions which are going to take place at the end of this season. You can check which division your country plays in in the "International" section. There are strict rules to follow if you want to submit your bid. I will list them all here:
1. Each country can only have one candidacy.
2. Each division tournament can only...

Hi Friends,
It's that time of year again. Christmas is almost upon us and we at PowerPlay Manager would like to wish you all the best for the coming holidays. We wish you a peaceful time with your families and lots of presents. We would also like to thank you for all your support you have provided in the past year. It has to be said that it has been a successful year for PPM. We have launched the full version of hockey in April and only recently we have reached 30,000 hockey teams. We hope you will continue to support us and that we will grow yet bigger.
We hope to finish the database...

Hi friends, The events of the last two weeks have forced us to make major decisions, which are going to determine the future of the PowerPlay Manager project. What exactly happened? The start of the season has brought problems with server overload, which we have been fighting hard since then. We have spent hours upon hours optimizing the performance and we have managed to find some temporary solutions. The project has so many fans now that we are breaking records in terms of managers on-line. The record number is sitting now at 4,450 which is a truly huge number. Based on experience...

Hi friends,
Let me start with an apology for yesterday's troubles. There have been a number of outages between 6pm and 9pm CET. The server load has reached critical levels due to the fact that everybody was curious about the start of the season. We have been doing our best to solve the problems and we think we have found the problem. Gioel in particular has spent hours on the issue yesterday trying to figure this out. Most of the time he was trying to at least let in PRO pack users. The server could deal with that but when he opened the game for all, it collapsed. Eventually...

Hello friends,
I would like to inform you that the new season starts this Monday. The calculation will start at 5.00 am CET and, as I have mentioned in one of the previous news, we will be adjusting the composition of leagues in Turkey and Other World. Due to this, and also to ensure the smooth running of the calculation, the game will be inaccessible for a certain period of time. We expect to be back online at about 12.00 CET. We will do our best to make the down time as short as possible. When the game is relaunched, you will see the new season schedule in your calendars.

Hi all,
Due to numerous questions arising from the announcement of the national teams we have decided to bring you some more news. I mentioned that the top division will be played by the top 16 nations according to the number of hockey teams. The deadline for determining who gets in and who will play in the lower divisions will be at midnight of December 13. If your country is around the borderline it is time to get those referrals going and get inside the top 16 (or top 28 to get to into Division I). The division system will be very much like the system in real life international...

Hi friends,
You have been waiting for this for a long time and here it is. I am glad to announce that as of Monday, it will be possible to sign up for candidacy for the position of general manager of national team. Anyone who has manager experience at least 51 can sign up as a candidate in any country but it is only possible to pick one country. So even if you are from a country that doesn't have a national team you can still manage a national team if the users in that country will vote for you. The nominees are closed on Sunday, which is also the last day of this season....

Hello friends,
I have plenty of news to report today. As you know, the season is slowly but surely drawing to a close. There are just two more weeks left and we are planning some changes which will be applied as of next season. The most important of these changes concerns the users in Turkey and those who play in Other World leagues. Due to the large number of inactive teams we are going to reorganize the league structure in these two "countries". We will remove the inactive teams and also a number of leagues and compress the teams that are active into a much smaller number...

Today from about 21.00 to 24.00 CET there will be a technical break on our server and the game will be inaccessible during the break. The reason is optimization of the server to ensure its smooth functionality in the future. The times are only approximate.
Thank you for understanding.

Hello friends,
I will start with the problem that we had last week on Monday. Due to the unusually huge load on the server the statistical calculation had started twice and it had caused some problems. We have worked hard on fixing all these issues including finances and ultimately we have managed to get everything back to normal. This has also prompted us to take precautions and prevent the same thing from happening again. We have changed a few settings and we believe this problem will not occur again. We have also been trying to find out what is causing the unusual server...
