Description of the Game Field Lobby

The “Game Field” Lobby is where virtual matches in FTBL Standard tournaments are played.

The left of the screen shows information about a championship being played and the current tournament table. The line corresponding to the user’s team is marked by an asterisk. Also marked in the table are the teams that the user’s team will meet in the next two matches.

The “Pay Out” bookmark shows the size of the user’s payout based on the final result of his team’s performances in a tournament.

The “Commentary” window features a commentary (according to the Game System’s version) of the events in the mini-times of the current match; a user can also provide his own account of the match.

In the “Forecast” bookmark you can find out the forecast of the possible virtual weather conditions for a forthcoming match.

The central part of the screen includes the schedule for the virtual championship, showing the results of matches already played. The current round of the championship is highlighted in pink. The user’s team is marked by an asterisk.

The right side of the screen contains the FTBL Standard roulette wheel, which is used to play out virtual football events. The ball landing in a sector of a particular colour means that a goal or a defence event has occurred during a mini-time in a virtual match. The black and green sectors signify the home team, the red and blue sectors – the away team.

The score in the match is determined by the results of mini-times (from 2 to 10), fixed by the users or allotted by the Game System. On the scoreboard the home team is designated in black and green, and the away team in red and blue.

Above the roulette wheel is information about the number of mini-times remaining in the match / the original number of mini-times in the match / the number of mini-times remaining in the championship. Here are indicated the numbers of three active sectors(black and red) that are changed before the start of the match into the numbers of passive sectors – 1, 1, 22 (blue and green).

Above the roulette wheel and to the right are indicated the number of sectors the user’s team will have in an extra mini-time, played in the event of the ball landing in the Captain sector.

Below and to the right are the virtual weather conditions and the total number of passive sectors for the match.

The indicator board under the roulette wheel shows the time at the user’s disposal in order to set the parameters for the next match – the match-rating of his team and the number of mini-times in the match. Here a user playing at home can select for his team the numbers of the substitutes for the match.

The buttons in the bottom right corner:
“Report” – a link to the “Game Summary” lobby, which includes a report on a virtual match, the line-ups of the teams playing in the match and the player statistics being formed in the course of the match.
“Stats” – a link to the “Championship Statistics” lobby, where the statistics of the current tournament are generated, leading to its best participants receiving individual and team awards.
“Lobby” – a link to the “Main Lobby”, in which a user can choose a new tournament for his teams.
