I missed the registration window for Leagues. Can I still play?
If less than 5 matchdays have taken place so far in the League season, we may still be able to register your club. If not, you will be able to participate in competitions reserved to unregistered clubs, such as the Redemption Cup, while you wait for the new season!
Here's how late registration works:
To accommodate as many managers as possible and avoid frustration from missing deadlines, we will do our best to allow some late registrations for teams in the Inactive Pool to re-join the main competition during the active season.
The Late Registration Window will be open until 24 hours prior the start of the first matches of Matchday 5. After this period, no late registrations are accepted.
There are penalties for registering late.
In order to request a late registration, the club owner will need to contact MFL via the Help Chat on the app. We will then integrate the late registration club into an existing league and adjust the schedule as needed, provided the following criteria are met:
The division must have a league with an odd number of participants to integrate a team without altering the full schedule. If that isn’t the case, we will offer the owner the opportunity to play in the division below instead, when possible.
The club must have at least 18 players under contract, including at least 2 goalkeepers (GK).
The club must have a valid saved line-up on their tactics page.
Requests must be made through the website’s Live Chat function, not via social media platforms.
Provided we were able to accommodate the request, the club will be added to an existing league, and:
The league’s schedule will be re-computed so that the late-registered club plays against all league opponents, ensuring fairness.
Schedule changes will be notified via inbox messages at least 48 hours in advance.
Clubs that see their late registration request granted will incur the following penalties:
A flat 1-point deduction on the League table
A further 1-point deduction per missed matchday at the time the late registration request was made.
Example: A club registering late after Matchday 2 incurs a 3-point penalty (1 point for late registration + 2 points for two matchdays).
