The first week
From Maxithlon
In every game, the first time you play can be quite daunting. After the foundation of your club you will see a menu on the left of the screen - this will connect you to all the game functions.
We recommend that you learn all the functions bit by bit, by experimenting and by talking with your tutor.
First of all, you will need to choose the specialty of your athletes. This is not fundamental, but it allows your athletes to concentrate their efforts in the various competitions. You must be careful when choosing specialities, because you can change the speciality only once in ten weeks (once per Maxithlon season). At the beginning, you will have 44 athletes ranging in age from 14 to 27.
Your next job is to assign coaches to your athletes. The coaches already have a speciality and it cannot be modified. On coach page, you will be able to choose what skills to emphasize in training, distruibuting 100 points between the various skills. You can assign all the points in one skill or divide them between various skills. Remember that in the training, the ability of the coach is very important. If all the other factors are the same, a coach with 18 in speed will train better than one with 12.
Another important thing to do is to enrol your athletes into events in a competition. To do this you must go to the special "Competitions" page - on this page, make sure you have ticked the box "Exclude all the competitions where your club cannot participate", so you are able to see which competitions you can participate in. In the "Status" field, if you choose "Enrolment open". you will be able to filter a list of competitions that your athletes can still join. Competition enrolment closes 30 minutes before the competition begins, so after that time you cannot enter your athletes into that competition. You will probably be able to send most of your athletes to one competition (seniors) - the rest will need to go to a Juniors or a Masters competition depending upon their age. Click on the competition's name, and it will take you to the "Events" page. Click on an event to get to the Event Registration page, and finally select the athletes you want to enrol by ticking off the special checkbox, choosing the attitude that he should compete under and finally click on "Send". Some competitions have a limit to how many athletes you can enroll in each event, so make sure you look at those details, before enrolling.
These are the main things that you need to know - if you want to know more, continue reading this guide! If you are unsure about anything, use the federation to ask questions on the message boards - some more experienced users will always send a reply, and attempt to help you out. It's a good way to learn more about the game.
