The Ounaian National League this week has opened its doors to potential investors. The league are looking for backers to purchase six franchises which will compete in the league across 20 games.
The terms of purchasing the franchises are such:
The franchise will be valued at its opening capital.
The purchaser is unable to change the name of the franchise unless approved by the league (will likely be approved at time of purchase).
The franchise may be sold at any time but will be valued at the opening capital of the quarter in which it is sold (each season is divided into four quarters consisting of five match days each).
The franchises are expected to provide a genuine return on investment for responsible owners. Revenue streams for the club will include:
Matchday Revenue
Quarterly Bonus
Championship Bonus
Matchday Revnue will depend on attendance and this figure will be shown on the Matchday Results thread. The league bonuses are paid as such:
Quarterly Bonus (Paid based on position in the league after every five match days):
1st - $4,000
2nd - $3,000
3rd -$2,000
4th - $1,000
5th - $500
6th - $500
The reason for the quarterly bonus is to aid with the cash flow of the respective franchises instead of an annual bonus.
A Championship Bonus of $4,000 is paid to the League leaders at the end of 20 games.
The costs which the franchises incur above their regular operational costs is in the form of a league fee of $125 per game which will be taken from the matchday revenue.
League Rules
The six teams will play each other twice at home, and twice away from home. A total of 20 matches will be played by each team.
Franchises may only use funds generated from the playing of matches, or the transfer of players, to make player transfers. This guarantees that the club does not eat into its Capital and ensures its long-term survival. The transfer budget will be conveyed to the buyer after every quarter.
All clubs must maintain a roster of minimum 15 players.
Transfer requests must be made to the league, and then the league will forward the request to the players club.
The cost to the franchise on player transfers will be the initial transfer fee which will go to the other franchise, and then the value of the player's wages over the length of his/her contract. The wages will not be accrued and will be recorded at full cost at time of purchase. All of these costs must be taken from the transfer budget.
Maximum of two transfers per quarter (no transfer windows).
The league will charge each club $125 per game to participate in the league, this will be taken from the match-day revenue.
Ticket sales are capped at $2.50 per ticket for every league member.
The league positions will be ordered by number of points, followed by goal difference, followed by away goals and if the clubs are still tied a play-off match will be played at the end of the season to determine position.
Buyers may invest a maximum of $5,000 p/a into the club, unless the league objects, this capital may be injected at any time throughout the year.
Investments will not be fed through to the transfer budget.
Investments may be used to invest in additional seating increasing match-day revenue, the buyer may want to use his/her company as a sponsor to make back this investment.
Investors may change the franchise's name, manager, logo, stadia, kit, sponsors, formation and lineup by submitting a request to the league. These changes must be made before the beginning of the season or at time of purchase.
Profit at the end of the quarter will be added to the Capital and brought forward into the following quarter. An owner may take drawings out of the franchise up until the capital reaches the amount at the time of purchase by the owner. This is to protect the sustainability of the franchise, and the league may ask the owner to relinquish ownership and be paid back their original investment.
Matches will be scorinated by the League on a bi-weekly basis (every Wednesday & Saturday) and the results will be posted in the '[SOCCER] Ounaian National League Results' thread. The scorination is based on differing factors including; player ratings, home advantage, form, role-play bonus. An owner can increase their franchise's performance by role-playing, effective player transfers and lineup choice.
The season will begin on 20th July 2019, Investors may purchase a franchise at any time in the season as long as it is for sale.
I will post below the Clubs open to investment.
