And while I was putting everything together, I started to wonder what stats everybody else keeps track of. Name, age, club, position all go without saying, and some other data seems relatively obvious like past clubs and national team caps (all that good stuff in the transfer sheets), but I'd be interested to hear what other categories other people find useful to follow. Player numbers? Goals scored? What other quantifiers am I not thinking of? What do you keep track of that you think probably few others do?

Does UICA accept Champions' Cup qualifying under an Apertura/Clausura using a playoff format for both tournaments?
Pretty much like a regular season, then quarterfinals and so on until final.

To whom it may concern:
Ile Saint-Joseph's latest private sporting business venture, Groupe Garibouds, has recently purchased a franchise in Ouna's Qusmair National League, the Vadborg Aces. Groupe Garibouds is now looking for a sponsorship to help cover the cost of that investment as well as grow the franchise. Groupe Garibouds is looking for $10,000, and in return is offering a position as the Vadborg Aces key sponsor. As part of this deal, a potential sponsor's advertisements will feature prominently in the Aces' new Zawadi Stadium during games, as well as in match programs and coverage. The main offering being made is the that a potential sponsor's logo will be prominently placed on their recently unveiled kit.
If such an offer sounds like an exciting opportunity for you or your company, please get in touch. Furthermore, please feel free to reach out with alternate offers. Price is negotiable, as are other all other terms. Furthermore, it may be possible to renegotiate the name of the Vadborg Aces' stadium with the QNL, in which case we would be eager to find a sponsor willing to fund expansion of the stadium in return for its being given their name.
In the hope of hearing from you soon,
Pierre Garibouds,
Founder and President, Groupe Garibouds

TRANSFER WINDOW FAQ
So, what is the transfer window? The transfer system is how players move from one club to another, and this transfer spreadsheet is how transfers across the multiverse are conducted. North Americans might be more familiar with the term 'trades'. In football, player-for-player exchanges are rare (though not unknown) and players are generally bought for money.
Where to start? Put players you would like to see sold in the Transfer List tab. Put players who are going to be released by their clubs in the Free Transfers tab. You will have to manually approve transfers for people in the Transfer List - Free Transfers are just bought on a first-come, first-served basis.
So someone bid on my player. What now? Look at the bid in the Bids tab. You'll notice there's two different columns - Club and Player accepting the bid. Generally speaking, the Club only cares about the transfer fee and if it meets its valuation. It doesn't matter how good the buying club is - the money's the same to the selling club. The player doesn't care about the money that the selling club gets, they only care about if the selling club is good, and if they meet their expectations. Selling clubs want more money, sold players are looking for clubs with more prestige.
How do I determine what leagues are good? The UICA league rankings determine objective measures of strength. You will also want to consider the strength of the club in its given league - the Nepharim Premiership is (in theory) a stronger league than the Brenecian A-League, but your player may well prefer to go to regular A-League winners Kingsgrove than Premiership strugglers Morningstar. Most players also weigh RP quality of a given league into consideration, though only well-RPed leagues will get to the high ranks anyway.
Can I put just anyone up? A good rule of thumb is to write a description for every player in the far right of the spreadsheet. If the player isn't relevant enough for you to want to write a description for them, they aren't worth putting on the sheet. A placeholder description will do for now, but definitely have a real description up by the time the window actually starts - when the UICA cutoff occurs and Commerce Heights starts to score the international tournaments.
How can I buy players? It's the same in reverse. What players do you want to see in your leagues? If they're on the Transfer List, put a Bid for them in the Bids tab. At minimum, this will probably be their cited Valuation. If the club and the player both agree by putting a Y in the relevant tab, then it's a done deal! The player is yours.
What about players who aren't on the Transfer List? You can bid for them, too! The worst that can happen is that the other person says no.
What about Free Transfers? Just put your club and trigramme in the red New Club columns. It's automatically a done deal.
How should I value my players? And how much can I reasonably bid? Fortunately, the NSS economy is far less stratified than the real-world football economy. Instead of big players changing hands for hundreds of Euro, while most leagues outside Europe will never see a transfer of even one million, there's more parity across UICA and this is reflected in more even results. If it's your first season, your top-half teams might have a full million to spend on a transfer fee, with most of the purchased foreigners being free transfers. Your best player, if they're in the prime of their career (roughly 25-29, but youth adds value, so 24-25 is probably peak value for a player), might fetch one or two million. Other starters on your national team might go for about a million, and ambitious guys in your league hoping to break into your national team will probably fetch like half a million.
Is that a hard and fast rule? No, and there are exceptions. Maybe your league is like the real-life Chinese Super League, a low-prestige league with a lot of money. It's entirely fair to throw a lot of cash around without much prestige, just as long as you're aware of that status. More generally, nobody is going to police you for Doing Things Wrong.
What should my expectations be like for my first season? Modest. Out of a few bids for less prominent players, often in their early- to mid-30s, a few will probably be accepted - and, of course, look through Free Transfers for players who appeal to you. Be realistic, of course - a guy who is like 31 and is still an active international for a strong team is probably not going to join your lower leagues just because he's in the Free Transfers tab - but beyond those obvious cases, you don't need to second-guess yourself.
If I have a free agent player, but I care about their destination, can I put them on the Transfer List anyway? Yes. Any bid for them will be for 0 - there's no club with their contract to take the money - and you are free to accept whatever destination you'd like.
Can I start yet? So far, the window is only open in a preliminary stage. People can put their players and managers up, write rumours, and start declaring interest in players, but the actual Sales and Bids tabs, and the New Club columns of the Free Transfers sheet, are locked for the time being. There's no rush, either - you can still add new characters onto the spreadsheet after the transfer window officially opens, when the first UICA round is posted.

CH’s contributions to the community are immense, and continue to be. CH created the xkoranate scorinator and that alone makes so much else possible. And thinking back to numerous interactions during the #nssport IRC era, I think I can say CH is certainly someone I like and respect on a personal level too.
I’m saying this to put in context that a lot of participants are anxious about when the next UICA is coming. I hope the reason is not something unfortunate, and having been away for several years myself I certainly understand personal and professional commitments can and do take over.
Given the general pattern in recent times of one UICA per World Cup, it now appears to be overdue as we approach the beginning of the next World Cup cycle. People are hesitant to even send a telegram to CH to ask about UICA, for fear of seeming ungrateful about a major task that CH does for the rest of the community. I think this kinda shows exactly that we value this contribution so much - UICA has become highly integrated with the IC world and for some people the highlight of their involvement.
About a week ago, Apox did attempt to contact CH by telegram, and has not heard back although CH did log in to their nation accounts since then. I’m writing this post for two reasons, 1) hoping CH will see this, reassure me everything’s ok and we’re worried over nothing, and 2) opening up to the wider community the question of what should we do if CH doesn’t come back.
