23. Instant Matches and Campaigns

The goals of Instant Matches and Campaigns:
- Add more diversity to the game (you can virtually play with anyone or against anyone).
- Allowing more players to feel the real FS experience (the viewer is free for this feature)
- Improve the day-to-day activity on the website.

Instant Matches
To create a instant match (IM) game you just need to go to the match center page and, on the game creation form, select the time slot you want the game to happen (only for private team/matches), the color of the team shirt and press create.
After you have created the team, you will be redirected to the join team page where you can sign up your player in the team.

On the other hand, to join an instant match you have to go to the match center page and there choose the team you wish to play and press join.
You will be redirected to the starting eleven page where you can choose the position. Note that the team captain may change the position you will play when he defines the team formation.

Regarding Team captain, you need to know he´s the first player to sign up on each of the teams. The captain is responsible to set up the team formation.
As captain, you can change the formation how many times you want until the game starts, you can access the formation editor by clicking the symbol in front of your player name in the starting eleven list.

Let´s explain the features of this gaming option:
- FS Fans can play up to 5 matches per day (35 matches per week). No-FS Fans can play 5 matches per week.
- Team names will be created with the names of both team captains. The team captain is the first player to sign up on each of the teams
- There is ranking that will split all players between leagues (World class, Professional, Semi-professional, Amateur and Not Ranked). More info further
- There are 98 achievements to collect during your instant matches. When you gain them you will also give you achievement points that will later allow you to unlock certain campaigns. More info further
- Tactic selector equal to the one FS managers use, with team orders included.
- During the creation of the match you will be able to restrict the match regarding player’s ages and rankings. The existing options are: 17-20, 21-24, 25-28, 29+ or free for all (everyone can join whatever their age is) and World class, Professional, Semi-professional, Amateur, Not Ranked or free for all
- You can create game only in your age category or without age category
- You can choose bots´ skills level (from 10% to 100%). When picking the 100% option this doesn’t mean super-bots. It means that bots have their skills set according to the average of all the other human player’s skills. If you pick 10%, they have only 10% of this average value.
- There are limits to the number of matches than can be created on each "category"(same ranking-restrictions, same age-restrictions, etc). The max. number of matches per category is 2. Once the match is generated, players will receive a notification at the Match Center and the live match starts immediately and he can join/create another team
- A match can only start if there are 2 complete teams (11+11 players) with same "restrictions". If a team doesn’t have enough players will be delayed 3 times until it’s finally deleted.
- Private matches: you can create games only to be played with your mates / teammates. However these games will not be counted to ranking purposes.

Ranking:
As said, the ranking is divided in 4 leagues:
- World Class league
- Professional league
- Semi-professional league
- Amateur League

Each league may have many series based on the number of players participating in the Instant Matches. The exception is the World class league that only has 1 series, which means that only the best players will be on the world class league. Each series have 22 players and the ranking is updated every Monday. Obviously you’re able to navigate through all the league tables / series.

During the weekly update of the ranking (Monday 6.30 server time), the following tasks will be done:
- The top eleven players of the Professional League will be promoted to the World class league;
- The worst eleven players of the World class league will be relegated to the Professional league;
- The promotions and relegations of the remaining leagues will be dynamic, depending on the number of ranked players;

The percentage of players in each league are:
- World Class: 22 players
- Professional League: 15% of all ranked players
- Semi-Professional League: 35% of all ranked players
- Amateur League: 50% of all ranked players

Players get ranking points when they win and draw. They lose points if they lose games. The base is 3 points for a win, 1 for a draw, -3 for a loss. There might be bonuses depending on the fact that you’re playing against teams/players with higher rankings.

Campaigns
By going to the FS Arena (main menu > PvP >> Match Center) you find "Campaigns".
Following the link you´re presented with the Match Center for Campaign games. You can open the Campaign Map on the side menu where you’ll find all the available campaigns for you to play.

Now, all the necessary details for Campaign Matches:

- When opening the Campaign details page you’re presented with all the teams that you have to beat to finish the Campaign. You have to start from the bottom ’till the top, unlocking teams step-by-step (win by win).
- There are always two public open slots for each opponent. Once these are complete a new one will be created automatically.
- Once a slot is complete (11 players) the team captain can "lock" the slot and start the match. The match will then start at the next available match time (at each quarter of an hour, just like Instant Matches). If the captain doesn´t lock a team with 11 players after 30 minutes of the creation of the game, the game is created automatically.
- The team captain can set the match as private. If a match is private, all the players need the password to get in. In private matches the team captain can kick players out of the team.
- Campaigns and Instant Matches share the same limits on what concerns to the number of matches that can be played on each time slot.
- Campaigns and Instant Matches also share the number of games you can play per day.
- You don´t get ranking points for the Instant Matches ranking.
- Managers of the bot teams (at the time they were created) have access to the formation / line-up page of the team in order to change it accordingly. This is done to give managers the possibility to set-up their best team in case they haven’t used their best team in the final round of the previous season. Please note that the formation / line-up can only be changed one time. After this it´s locked for good and the access is revoked. This option is shown at the Campaigns menu, where you can find the name of the team you have access to.
- Campaigns have precedences. Meaning that you cannot compete in a Gold campaign if you haven’t completed Silver (and Bronze).
- Players can leave a team after one hour waiting for a match to start unless the team has already 11 players. Team captains cannot leave a team.

For these kind of matches you can use "special" Match Items. Here’s the full details of this feature:
- These items can only be used for Instant Games / Campaigns.
- In order to get these items you need to play Campaign matches. At the end of each match, in case you win the match, there’s a possibility to get match items. This possibility depends essentially on the difficulty level of the campaign and also on the level of your opponent within the campaign. The "drop chance" is calculated for all players withing the winning team which means that some players might get the match items while others don’t. For each match you find a "Match Rewards" link on the side link’s bar (only visible at the end of the live match).
- There are items for Goalkeepers (gloves) and field players (shirts and boots). There’s also a small possibility that a GK can get a field player item at the end of the match.
- These items are only valid for one match. After they are used in a match they disappear from your stash. Each item only provide bonuses for one skill.
- Matches from harder campaigns provide better items. However the drop rate for these campaigns is smaller. The exact opposite happens in easier campaigns: worst items but higher drop rates.
- There’s an indicator of the difficulty level at the Campaign’s details page
