Maxithlon is the first and only online game in which you lead an athletic club to glory trying to reach the highest club and individual results with your athletes. You have to manage the finances of your club and improve your athletes to allow them to reach the highest regional, national or international goals. But to do this, you will also have to take into account the technical limits of the athletes and to plan the season so that your athletes can fully achieve their potential.

CONTENTS

First of all, we want to remind you that news, the guide and the entire website is translated in different languages but the only official languages are English and Italian.

In order to play Maxithlon you will need to follow some simple rules of behavior. We strongly believe that obtaining a competitive advantage by disobeying the rules is against the fundamental values of every real life or internet based game. Cheating will be prosecuted and punished with either a money sanction or a ban, depending on the seriousness of the case. The following list represents the fundamental rules of our game and we are asking you both to obey those rules and to inform the operators in case you notice violations by others using the Contact us page.

Si violes aquestes normes més d'una vegada es prendran mesures disciplinàries fins a ser banejat.

En les coses que no estan explicades en aquestes normes, el personal té autonomia per a preservar els valors fonamentals de Maxithlon.

Per a controlar tots els aspectes del teu club pots utilitzar els enllaços que són a l'esquerra i a baix a l'esquerra (Inici, estadi, lliga...). Aquests enllaços et permetran accedir a les diferents seccions per tal d'administrar els diferents aspectes del teu equip.

On the page Athletes you'll find a summary of the characteristics (skills) of your athletes: The skills are values between 0 and 20. The performance of an athlete in a specific field will be different from one specialty to another, according to the values of the skills.
The main skills your athletes are strength, stamina, speed, agility, jump and throw. In addition they also possess 2 extra skills that are determined according to the speciality they are assigned to (specialization). Each athlete has the possibility of specializing in one of the following categories: Sprinter, Middle Distance Runner, Long Distance Runner, Race Walker, Jumper, Thrower, Combined Events Athlete.
After choosing the specialty, your athlete will receive these 2 additional skills with a random value that is slightly influenced by your athlete's current mood. The athlete's specialty can be chosen or modified only once every 10 weeks. Moreover, it is not possible to change the speciality of athletes who are 25 years or more old.
The indicator that rates the global value of the athlete's skills is the MAXID, which is also influenced by care and form. The care value (it ranges between 5 and 20) suggests how easily an athlete will receive benefits from training. The form value is a fundamental skill for the athlete's performances, and it ranges between 1 and 20, but after the training update the minimum value for it will be 11.
Factors other than skills and form that can determine the athlete's performances are experience, weight and height.

In order to observe the improvements of your athletes, together with the meeting results (performances), you can check the weekly tests that are made in every discipline of their specialty (for the tests' days, see Appendix).

Your club can have up to 66 elite athletes. If you exceed this limit when Maxithlon checks it (depending on the events' calendar of your nation), the athlete(s) with the lowest mood level will leave the club until you are down to 66 again.

The athletes are divided into Juniors (14-17), Seniors (18-34) and Masters (35 and older) according to their age. You have to pay a weekly wage to the Seniors and Masters athletes, but they can also receive individual sponsorship offers (contracts) depending on the number of fans. The number of fans that follow your athletes will develop according to their performances in official meetings and the number of fans of the athletes they compete against. Junior athletes can also get fans, but they can't receive sponsorship offers.

Senior and Master athletes can have a favorite event. This allows them to have a small benefit when competing in that discipline. The favorite event is determined at every season change by checking the number of events run during the previous 4 seasons. The discipline that the athlete competed in most often with valid results and at least 10 times will be the favorite event for that season.
The favorite event is a discipline of the athlete's specialty, so changing the specialty implies the loss of the favorite event until the end of the season.

The youth are the future of your club. Every week it is possible to scout from 1 to 4 athletes between 14 and 17 years old (for more information see Look for young athletes). You can search for new youth athletes totally randomly or you can specify up to 3 parameters, the primary (best) skill, the secondary (2nd best) skill and/or the gender.

Scouting points
Every week you can use up to 8 points to scout youth athletes. The search itself costs 2 points and each specification costs 1 additional point. So the total costs for every search can vary from 2 points for a totally random search up to 5 points for a fully specified search.

Scouting fees
You also have to pay fees when you scout youth athletes. The total costs per week are defined by the number of points you use and can vary from 1.000 for using only 2 points to 20.000 for using all 8 points (for details see appendix). The costs for your next search are defined by the difference between the total costs for the points you will have used after the search and the total costs for the point you have already used. For example, if you have already used 3 points and do a search with 2 specifications for 4 points, you'll have used 7 points after the search. 7 points have a total cost of 15.000, 3 points have a total cost of 2.500, so your search will cost 15.000-2.500=12.500.

The youth squad has 18 available positions. If you exceed this limit when Maxithlon checks on it (depending on the events' calendar of every nation) you will lose the athletes of the youth squad with the lowest Mood level until you get back down to 18.

The athletes in the youth squad won't be able to compete in any main team events and they can't be sold. The benefit from staying in the youth squad is a 50% faster training rate compared to athletes on the main team. The youth squad's athletes can be moved into the main team by "promoting" them. When they turn 18, they will be promoted automatically.

Moving athletes from the main team to the youth team
You can move athletes from the main team to the youth team if the following conditions are met:
1. The athlete is between 14 and 17 years old.
2. The athlete has the same nationality as your club.
3. The athlete has never competed in an event in the main team (neither for your team nor for any previous owner).
4. There are less than 18 athletes in the youth team.
This operation will be free if the athlete is originally from your club, otherwise it will cost 6 points and the appropriate amount of money. A market filter to look for athletes that have never competed in the main squad is available, so you can search for athletes in the market who have never competed and purchase them to put them on your youth squad.
Youth athletes who are not originally from your club cannot compete in the youth league.

By clicking "Hire a Coach" on the Coaches page, you can hire a coach, but only one per week.

First you have to choose the type of your new coach, specialized coach or youth coach (if you have reached the maximum number of coaches for one type, only the other type is offered to you). For specialized coaches you have to select the specialty and the primary skill. You can also select a secondary skill. For youth coaches you have to select the 2 primary skills. Additionally you can select up to 2 secondary skills. In most cases it is recommended to specify all the skills you can, because all unspecified skills will be 0, and the only advantage of coaches with less specified skills is the slightly lower weekly wage.

Next you have to decide the recruitment costs you are willing to pay. The recruitment costs range from 10.000 to 50.000 and define the values of the selected skills. For 10.000 the primary skills will be 12 and the secondary skills will be 10. Every additional 10.000 increase those skills by 2, up to primary skills of 20 and secondary skills of 18 for 50.000 recruitment costs (see also appendix). The specialty skills of specialized coaches have the same values as the primary skills, so they range from 12 to 20 depending on the recruitment costs.

After you have specified skills and recruitment costs, you need to finish the recruitment process by pressing the "Hire a coach" button. Your new coach will immediately arrive at your club.

In addition to the recruitment costs you will also have to pay a weekly wage to your coaches, which depends on their skills. The skills of your coaches decrease over time. So from time to time you need to replace your coaches.

To receive skill training, your athletes need to be assigned to a coach. There are 3 ways to assign an athlete to a coach.

Athlete's page:
Click on the athlete you want to assign to a coach to get onto the individual page of this athlete. On the right side of the page you can choose the coach in the drop down menu and finish the assignment with the Send button. You can also see the current training program of the athlete there.

Coach's page:
Click on the coach you want to assign athletes to, to get onto the individual page of this coach. In the lower part of the middle section of this page, you'll find a table with all of the athletes that can be assigned. Select the athletes you want to assign by setting check marks and finish the assignment with the Send button.

Training page:
You can also assign athletes to your coaches on the Training page. You choose the coach in the drop down menu next to the athlete, and finish the assignment with the Change button in the same row.

General training program:
Every coach provides a general training program with different training percentages to the various skills. The higher the percentage is, the better the training effect will be for that skill. The sum of all these percentages cannot exceed 100. To make your athletes follow a specific training program, you need to assign them to a coach.

Customized training program:
In addition to the general training program of each coach it is also possible to create a customized training program for every athlete. This can be done on the Training page in the Coaches section. Setting the check mark for customized training allows you to set individual training percentages that will be applied instead of the ones from the coach.

Skill training:
The training update runs on Thursday. Athletes in the main team who meet the following conditions receive a training effect on their skills according to their training program if:
1. They have competed in at least one event of their specialty since the last training update.
2. They are not injured.
3. They are assigned to a coach.
Athletes in the youth team just need to be assigned to a coach.
Athletes who have changed their specialty need to take part in an event of their new specialty, even if they have already competed.

Specialty bonus:
Athletes, who meet the conditions for skill training and are assigned to a specialized coach, also receive a bonus training on their specialty skills at the training update. The values of both specialty skills increase by 0.03, in addition to the training effect from the training program.

Form effect:
Athletes in the main team, who have competed in at least one event (any event) since the last training update, tend to increase their form at the training update. Without any competition since the last training update their form will decrease instead.
Athletes in the youth team, who have competed in the youth league since the last training update, also tend to increase their form at the training update. Otherwise their form value won't change.

Training retreat:
Every athlete can be sent to the training retreat once per season. This is equal to taking part in an event of the athlete's specialty. In the first week of the season this is the only possibility to get skill training for your athletes in the main team. For athletes with a high MAXID this can be very expensive.
Please notice that the training retreat is not available for athletes on the transfer market. It's also not available for recently-bought athletes, who were already sent to the training retreat by the previous owner this season.

The skill gain of your athletes at the training update depends on the following factors:

Coach's skill and training percentage:
The higher the skill of the coach and the higher the percentage of that skill in the training program, the better assigned athletes will train that skill.

Number of athletes assigned to a coach:
The more athletes are assigned to a certain coach, the less the training effect for a certain athlete will be. Up to around 6 athletes assigned to a coach this effect is rather minimal.

Athlete's care:
The higher the care of your athletes, the faster they train.

Athlete's age:
The higher the age of your athletes, the slower they train.
Athletes who are 28 years old or older also lose some of their skills every Monday. The older they are, the higher are these skill losses.

Gym:
The bigger the gym of your arena, the faster your athletes train.

Youth bonus:
Athletes in the youth team train their skills 50% faster than athletes in the main team.

A més a més del programa d'entrenament de cada entrenador, és possible crear un pla d'entrenament personalitzat per cada atleta. Aquesta opció és configurable en la pàgina d'entrenament de la secció dels Entrenadors. Habilitant l'opció d'"entrenament personalitzat", l'usuari podrà configurar percentatges individuals d'entrenament, que s'aplicaran instantàniament en lloc dels genèrics de l'entrenador.

In the Coaches section you can manage your coaches and the training of your athletes. There are 2 types of coaches: Specialized coaches and youth coaches.

Specialized coaches have a specialty (Sprinter, Middle Distance Runner, ... ) and their own skills (strength, stamina, ... ) including the specialty skills. These skills can have values from 0 to 20, like for athletes. The higher the value of a certain skill, the better they train that skill.
Specialized coaches can only train athletes of their specialty. They can't train athletes of other specialties or unspecialized athletes. Athletes who are trained by specialized coaches receive a training bonus on their specialty skills (see also "Specialty bonus" down below under "Training").
The maximum number of specialized coaches you can have is 11.

On the Staff administration page you can hire support staff, groundskeepers, PR managers and doctors. Hiring or firing a staff member costs 1.000, and the weekly salary is 500.
You can also manage the work of your dietician there.

Groundskeepers:
Groundskeepers are in charge of maintaining the arena. They increase the efficiency of your arena on a daily basis, and they are needed to deal with the efficiency losses which your arena will have without them. They also reduce the minimum efficiency your arena needs to avoid fines (see also 2.5 Arena, Efficiency).

PR Managers:
PR managers affect the relations with your sponsors and will therefore cause a gradual increase of the income from the club's sponsor and the individual sponsors, up to 10%. Their effects become visible on Monday after the financial update.

Doctors:
Doctors take care of injured athletes and decrease their recovery time. The more doctors you have, the faster injured athletes heal. Their effect becomes visible daily after the athletes (injury and test) update.
Doctors don't prevent injuries, so you don't need them if all of your athletes are healthy.

Dietician:
The Dietician allows you to put up to 5 athletes on a customized diet in order to help them increase or decrease their weight. The effect of the diet becomes visible on Thursday after the training update. The weekly costs of the dietician depend the number of athletes he takes care of, and increase progressively. For details see appendix.

Arena parts
On the Arena page you can manage your arena, which consists of running lanes, a press room, a dressing room, seats and a gym. Starting from season 78, the Arena will also have lightning and cover

Lanes:
Your arena can have from 2 up to 8 lanes. The greater the number of lanes, the greater the number of sprinters who can run against each other in each heat. Due to the higher competition between the athletes, the final results in sprint and relay events may therefore be better.

Press room:
The press room allows you to organize different levels of meetings depending on its size. The greater the size of the press room, the greater the level of meetings that can be organized. You will find the link between the press room size and the types of meetings you can organize in 5.1 How to organize a competition. The maximum size is 50 m².

Dressing room:
The dressing room determines the number of events you can hold for each meeting you organize. You can organize one event for every 3 m² of dressing room (a 30 m² dressing room allows you to host 10 events). There are 52 different events, so the maximum size is 156 m².

Seats:
The seating capacity determines the maximum number of spectators who can attend a meeting. The maximum capacity is 100000 seats, but be aware that most of the meetings attract less than 30000 spectators.

Gym:
The gym increases the training efficiency of your coaches a little. The bigger your gym is, the faster your athletes gain skills. The maximum size is 100 m².

Lighting:
You can install artificial lightning in your Arena. The quality of the lighting is determined by its electrical power, measured in kW. The maximum electrical power that an Arena can have is 1200 kW. The lighting increases the interest of the spectators to attend the meetings and championships that take place in your Arena with the affect of increasing the attendance.

Starting from season 80, lighting will be required to host official competitions in your Arena. The minimum power required will depend on the level of the competition. You can check the requirements in 5.1 How to organize a competition.

Cover:
Since season 78, you can build a cover (roof) above your Arena. There are two types of covering, the half cover and the full cover, which will depend on the capacity of your Arena. When the Arena has a minimum capacity of 10,000 seats, it will be possible to build the half cover. There are two kinds of half covers: concrete half cover and steel half cover. There is no difference between the two kinds of half cover other than the graphical difference. None of them give any advantage over the other.

When the Arena has a minimum capacity of 40,000 seats or more, it will be possible to build the full cover. In the case you would like to build the full cover while having a half cover already built, it will be needed to demolish the half cover in advance. If there is a half cover on the Arena, it will not be possible to increase its capacity above 40,000 seats. The benefit of having a cover on your Arena is that it will improve the weather conditions inside the facilities, which will make your Arena more appealing for spectators, increasing then their attendance.

Expansion
To improve your arena you enter a work order into the "Expansion work" form. It will take some time depending on the scope of your work order. All existing parts stay available during the construction time. You pay a fixed cost of 20.000 together with the costs for each part you want to add:
- Lanes: 50.000 per lane
- Press room: 10.000 per m²
- Dressing room: 10.000 per m²
- Gym: 20.000 per m²
- Seats: 50, 75 or 100 per seat
Starting from season 78
- Light: 1.000 per kW
- Cover: 500.000 a half cover, 1.000.000 a full cover
The price of seats depends on the number of seats (existing seats plus new seats). Up to the 5000th seat you pay 50, from the 5001th to the 10000th seat you pay 75, and above 10000 seats you pay 100 per seat. Since season 78, if you would have a half cover on your arena, you will not be able to increase the number of seats above 40000 seats.

You can also downgrade arena parts. The price for downgrades is 1/5 of the price for upgrades. For seats the downgrade price is always 20 per seat.

From season 78, you can demolish a half cover in order to build a full cover, increase the number of seats above 40000 seats or just to remove it off your arena. The price is 1/5 of the construction price.

If the size of one or more parts of the arena is less than the starting values, you can use "Full restoration of the Arena" by paying a standard price of 150.000 to restore it to the starting values.

Note: If your arena hosts an official event (excluding the National League competitions), it will not be possible to start an upgrade of the arena that will finish before the official event.

Your arena has to be kept in good repair. Its efficiency tends to decrease slowly on a daily basis. Additionally, when you host a meeting, the efficiency will drop by a certain amount, which depends on the ticket income from the meeting. In order to avoid paying fines for having too low efficiency, the efficiency should never get lower than 80-85%. To recover the arena's efficiency you should hire groundskeepers. The bigger the arena is, the more groundskeepers you need to get the same recovery rate. You can also use the "Condition recovery" button to repair immediately to 100% efficiency. But using this button is in most cases more expensive than employing groundskeepers.

Existeix un rànquing amb tots els estadis. Aquest rànquing pren en consideració les parts que formen l'estadi.

The Club's economy is fundamental for its success. In the Finances area you'll be able to keep track of your weekly income and expenditures: from the sponsorships to the wages paid out and from the prizes won to the costs for the organizing an event. You can also take a look at the latest transactions made in order to keep better control over your bank balance.
The initial balance of a Club when created is 150.000. If you let your balance become negative, you'll find yourself having to pay 5% interest on the negative part. Other disadvantages resulting from being in a negative economic situation are that you will not be able to participate in economic activities such as buying athletes that would take your balance to an amount less than -150.000.
The maximum debt permitted is -300.000 after which the Club will automatically go into bankruptcy and you will be removed from the game.

El patrocinador del club està determinat per:

1. El nivell de la lliga en què estàs
   
2. La posició del teu club en la darrera competició de la lliga
   
3. El nombre total d'aficionats del teu club
   
4. El factor de fidelitat
   

La fidelitat està relacionada amb els patrocinadors del club i amb el nombre de transferències d'atletes del club. Cada transferència fa baixar la fidelitat, mentre que cada setmana augmenta. Les transaccions amb atletes de la mateixa nacionalitat que el teu club et faran perdre menys fidelitat. Un atleta de la teva mateixa nacionalitat i que tingui menys de 21 anys et farà perdre la meitat de fidelitat que un de la mateixa però amb més de 21 anys. Si vens un atleta de menys de 21 anys que va debutar en el teu club sense haver-ne canviat mai, reduirà la baixada de fidelitat fins a la meitat.

En els ingressos setmanals també hi ha els drets de televisió i els premis setmanals de la lliga. Els ingressos de la televisió depenen del nivell de la lliga i del nombre de lligues actives del teu país. Els premis setmanals de la lliga depenen del teu resultat en la competició de la lliga de la mateixa setmana, sempre que hagin competit almenys 24 atletes/relleus amb resultats vàlids. Les setmanes sense lliga rebràs el màxim de diners assignat al teu nivell.

Si vols més detalls sobre els premis pots consultar l'apèndix.

It is possible to put an athlete in the trade market directly from his/her page and decide the starting price of the auction. The athlete will be on the market for three days and during this time other clubs can make bids on your athlete. Entering an athlete on the market will cost you some money determined by the starting price of the auction: this cost will be charged even if the athlete remains unsold.
The income from the sale will be determined by how long the athlete has remained in your club. The percentage of income is 50% of the final price for athletes just acquired and increases 0.5% for each day spent on your team before being put on the market, up to 90%. For each sale a rate of 5% will be given to the club that promoted the athlete from his hatchery.

On the Market page you can set the options to do a market research. From the results of the search you can bid for athletes you are interested in: remember that the minimum bid is 5% more of the current offer with a minimum of 1.000. If a bid is exceeded in the last three minutes of the auction, then bidding will be extended for an additional three minutes.
If a bid will be modified from the default bid (which corresponds to the minimum bid) it will be interpreted as the maximum bid. The actual raise will be the minimum bid, but if another team bids more, the system will automatically raise your bid up to the maximum value you set.

És possible acomiadar un atleta en qualsevol moment, directament des de la pàgina de l'atleta.

Each specialty (Sprint, Middle distance, Long distance, ...) is divided into a number of disciplines, in each of which the skills of your athlete will have different weights in determining performance. In the Skills and specialties section you can see what skills are most important for an athlete in placing in each discipline. The disciplines are:
• Sprint: 100 Meters, 200 Meters, 400 Meters, 110 hurdles, 400 hurdles;
• Middle distance: 800 Meters, 1500 Meters, 3000 m steeplechase;
• Long distance: 5000 Meters, 10000 Meters, Marathon;
• Race walk: 10Km, 20Km, 50Km;
• Jump: High jump, Pole vault, Long jump, Triple jump;
• Throw: Shot put, Discus, Hammer, Javelin.
• Combined events: Pentathlon, Heptathlon, Decathlon (see 4.2 Combined events for more details)

The values of the various skills affect the performance of the athletes in each discipline in different ways.
The skill Speed is essential in running races. It is needed most by Sprinters but is also important to Middle and Long distance runners. This skill is also useful for athletes competing in the Long jump.
Strength is the skill that is most important to throwers, but sprinters also need this valuable skill.
Stamina is the most important skill for long races, and therefore its influence increases with the distance of the race. Stamina is important for Middle distance runners, but is crucial for Long distance runners and Race walkers.
Agility is an important skill in most Sprint, Throw and Jump specialties, but is especially vital in the pole vault and triple jump.
Jump is the main skill for Jumpers, and also helps hurdlers.
The Throw skill only helps throwers.
For details on the amount of influence the different skills have in each discipline see the Events section or read the Guide and Wiki help.

You can create 4x100 and 4x400 relay teams that can compete in team events as well as the individual championships. Each relay can consist of 4 athletes and an alternate. An athlete may be part of only one relay team. The performance of the relay depends only on the athletes' primary skills, as indicated in Events section, on harmony, experience and on condition. Harmony is an attribute of each relay team and has a value on a scale of 10 between E and A++: this attribute will increase during the weekly training provided the relay team has competed in at least one event during the week obtaining a result or being disqualified by the judges, otherwise harmony will drop. The lower the harmony is, the higher the chance to receive a disqualification during the race. You can replace a member of the relay team every 30 days, the cost of this operation will be the reduction of the harmony by 25%. On the other hand it's possible to change the order of relay runners without any limitation and without penalties in harmony.
Condition is a relay skill that is similar to the form of the athletes. Condition, like form for athletes, will drop after a race according to attitude used, and will raise during weekly training at same conditions of harmony raises and losses.
Taking part in a relay race does not affect the athletes abilities; neither decreasing the form nor increasing the experience or fans. As well, competing in a relay is not be considered as a race valid for receiving weekly training.
The relays are divided into Juniors, Seniors and Masters according to the ages of its athletes. The categories to the relay teams are:
- if there are no masters in the team, the age of the oldest athlete will be the age of the team
- if the team consists of only masters, the age of the youngest athlete will be the age of the team
- If the team is a mix of masters and non-masters then team will be part of the category 22-34 (seniors)

Disciplines
This specialty includes four events:
- Men’s Pentathlon (Long Jump, Javelin Throw, 200m, Discus Throw, 1500m)
- Men’s Decathlon (100m, Long Jump, Shot Put, High Jump, 400m, 110m hurdles, Discus Throw, Pole Vault, Javelin Throw, 1500m)
- Women’s Pentathlon (100m hurdles, High Jump, Shot Put, Long Jump, 800m)
- Women’s Heptathlon (100m hurdles, High Jump, Shot Put, 200m, Long Jump, Javelin Throw, 800m)
Combined events athletes have these two Special skills: Versatility and Mental strength.
Points
For every discipline in the combined events the athlete get points. The sum of these points is the final result. A different point system is used than for single events, so that all the disciplines are roughly equally-weighted. Track disciplines in the combined events will usually score less points while field disciplines will usually score more points, compared to the same single event.
Weekly tests
The weekly tests for the combined events will happen on Monday.
The combined events part in the weekly test page consists of 3 tables. The first one shows the result for pentathlon and decathlon/heptathlon, the other two show the individual test results for the events inside for each combined event.

Form and experience
The change of form or experience and the risk of injuries for combined events will be the same as for single events. Form and experience won't change during the calculation of each event. They will change after all results have been calculated.

Els atletes de un club poden inscriure's a mítings (pots comprovar la llista usant la pàgina de competicions) que siguin aptes per al teu club (La manera més ràpida de saber-ho és fent clic a "Exclou automàticament totes les competicions on el teu club no pot participar"). Els mítings es troben dividits en categories (júniors, sèniors i màsters) i en nivells.
Pots mirar a l'Apèndix els premis que guanyaràs a les competicions oficials.

La lliga és una classe de campionat entre clubs del mateix nivell. Pots prendre part en la lliga de 8 proves del teu grup i intentar ascendir a una lliga amb més prestigi. En les competicions de la lliga només pots inscriure un sol atleta per prova i la posició final del teu club es calcularà sumant els punts per les posicions dels teus atletes.

Pots inscriure el teu equip al campionat de la teva regió (1 atleta per prova). Els primers N clubs de la competició estaran convidats al Campionat Nacional de Clubs.
N és el nombre de llocs que hi ha per a classificar-se, i depèn dels clubs que hagi a la teva regió.
També els 20 clubs que tinguin la millor puntuació al Regional estaran classificats per al Nacional.

Aquí es poden inscriure tots els atletes nascuts al mateix país que el seu club. Hi ha un límit de dos atletes per prova. Els primers N atletes estaran classificats per al Nacional.
També els 20 atletes oer prova i 20 relleus amb la millor puntuació al Campionat Regional seran invitats per al Campionat Nacional Individual

Els clubs que s'hagin classificat des del Regional podran participar al Campionat Nacional de Clubs. El rànquing es basarà en el nombre de punts de la marca que l'atleta hagi fet a la competició. Només es pot inscriure un atleta per prova. El guanyador de la competició portarà el títol de campió del Nacional de Clubs.

Hi poden participar tots els atletes que s'hagin classificat pel mètode explicat més amunt, a més dels tres millors atletes del rànquing de la temporada. L'única manera que tenen els atletes extrangers per accedir al campionat del seu país és a través del rànquing. El guanyador de cada prova serà el campió de la prova.

Les invitacions per l'esdeveniment seran enviades als atletes classificats el divendres anterior a la competició.

The youth league is a league similar to the national league in which only athletes in the youth team can take part. You are able to participate in every of the 10 days of competition of the league of your group. In the youth league you are able to enroll one athlete per specialty and the ranking of one day of competition will be calculated in a similar way to the national league. You can activate a standard line-up for the youth team that will be automatically used in every day of the competition (for more details, see 5.3 Youth league).
Only youth athletes who are originally from your club can compete in the youth league.

Cada club pot crear 4 mítings cada temporada (1 màster, 1 júnior i 2 sèniors). Els mítings es creen a "Competicions" -> "Crear una competició". El nombre de proves que es poden organitzar al teu estadi depèn de la mida de l'estadi i el tipus depèn de la sala de premsa. Els tipus o nivells de mítings que hi ha són els següents:

1. Míting Regional: No es necessita sala de premsa.
   
2. Míting Nacional: Es necessiten 15 metres quadrats de sala de premsa.
   
3. Míting Continental: Es necessiten 25 metres quadrats de sala de premsa.
   
4. Míting Internacional: Es necessiten 50 metres quadrats de sala de premsa.
   

A mesura que el nivell dels mítings es fa més gran, els costs d'organització augmenten, però els clubs que hi poden participar, el preu de les entrades i el nombre d'aficionats per la competició. Els preus per organitzar els mítings són a l'apèndix, encara que has de tenir en compte que en els dels júniors i màsters són la meitat.

Es poden crear competicions amb un rànquing per posició, on en els punts depenen de la posició, i amb un rànquing per prestació, és a dir, segons la marca que facin a la prova. En el rànquing només puntua el primer atleta en cada prova per a cada club. També es pot configurar el cost d'inscripció de la competició (els teus atletes no hauran de pagar res).
Els mítings automàticament tindran un premi basat en el nombre de proves de la competició. En l'apèndix pots trobar el valor del premi per nombre de proves basat en el nivell del míting.
Pots crear un míting que requereixi una marca mínima per a participar, i així només els atletes que tinguin aquesta mínima en l'actual temporada podran participar en la competició. Finalment, els mítings es poden crear amb invitacions fins un màxim de 50.

Teams can also bid to host an Official Competition through the "Hosting bids" menu. You can propose your stadium as a candidate through the Hosting bid section in your Arena's page.
Rules say you have to pay an amount based on the competition’s importance and that your arena has to be compatible with the competition's level (for example, if you want to organize a National Competition, you must have a large enough press room).

Starting from season 80, a minimum light power will be required in your stadium to be compatible with the competition's level, according to the following table:
- 25 kW: regional competitions (Club Regional Championships, Individual Regional Championships)
- 75 kW: national competitions (Club National Championships, Individual National Championship)
- 150 kW: continental category competitions (Continental Junior/U21/Master Championships)
- 300 kW: absolute continental and world category competitions (Continental Championships, World Junior/U21/Master Championships)
- 600 kW: global competitions (World Cup, Olympics, Champions Cup)

If a team is chosen to host an official competition, that arena will have to wait a certain amount of time to submit their arena as a candidate again: 4 seasons if they host a regional competition, 6 seasons for a national competition, 8 seasons for a continental competition and 10 seasons for a world competition.
The system will choose the arena according to the arena's ranking and the interest in your arena. This parameter explains how appealing your arena is for the competition. Interest in your arena increases with time and decreases if you host an official competition.

The easiest way to enroll an athlete in a meeting is by using the Competitions page. On this page you can view all meetings in which the athletes of your club can take part by checking the checkbox "Automatically exclude all events in which your club may not take part". Choose the meeting you are interested in, and click on it to enter the meeting's page. This page displays the events available in that meeting. Clicking on the name of a particular event will show which athletes of your club can take part in that event. Those with bold writing are the athletes who are specialized in that discipline. Next you can select the athletes that will compete in that event and enroll them. For some competitions a special page is available called "Global Enrollment" where you can enroll all the athletes on your team in the competition, one per event. Be careful: Once enrolled, you can't change the enrollment of an athlete. Although, if you make a mistake, you can change his attitude to "Do not compete".

The athletes can compete with different levels of attitude: normal, low and high. The "normal" attitude allows the athlete to have a good performance while keeping his/her form nearly stable, "low" attitude allows the athlete to increase his form over time but does not provide optimal performances. Finally, "high" attitude allows the athlete to achieve his best performance but causes a sharp drop in form. An athlete with low form can easily get injured.

Un atleta pot no finlitzar la competició per diverses causes.
Un baix nivell de forma o moral pot fer que l'atleta estigui absent, no comenci la prova o no l'acabi. Amb nivells lleugerament més alts de forma o de moral, l'atleta es podria retirat o ser desqualificat. Seleccionar una actitud baixa per a l'atleta farà que li sigui més fàcil acabar la prova que no pas si hagués estat inscrit en actitud alta. Sigui quin sigui el resultat, excepte per la desqualificació l'atleta es podria lesionar. L'oportunitat de lesionar-se incrementa a mesura que l'atleta prengui part en més curses durant una setmana.

Per a la Lliga Nacional, hi ha una opció per a inscriure automàticament els teus atletes. A l'apartat d'"Alineació estàndard", pots especificar per a cada prova quin atleta vols inscriure, i la seva actitud.
Activant l'opció "Utilitza l'alineació en la Lliga Nacional", automàticament s'inscriurà l'alineació guardada, a no ser que hagis inscrit algun atleta de forma manual (només que n'hagis inscrit un, l'alineació automàtica deixarà de tenir tot tipus d'efecte).

In season 62 a new league was introduced in Maxithlon in which only the athletes of the youth team of the clubs can participate. This is the youth league.

Joining the Youth League
This will be done by simply clicking on a button in the standard line-up of the youth. Your club will be assigned to a group in the league corresponding to your country.

Different leagues
All countries present in Maxithlon have been distributed among 14 leagues. You can check all the leagues at the Youth league page.

One season of competition will be comprised of 10 days of meetings, that will take place every Friday. For some leagues the competition days will be in Thursday to allow the users of the countries of the league a more adequate time to follow the competition.
During week 1 and week 10 the competition will be held at a neutral stadium chosen randomly from the official stadiums of all the regions that belong to the league. For the rest of the weeks, from week 2 to week 9, the competition will be held at the stadiums of the clubs taking part in every group. The stadiums will have public attendance but the entrance will be free. There won't be any income from TV or other ways.

One day of competition will be composed of 14 events, 7 for the male athletes and another 7 for the females athletes, and there will be only one event for each specialty. The ranking at the end of one day of competition will be calculated in the same way as the national league.

There will be a weekly money prize depending of the position in the ranking of every club competing in a group.
During an event the athletes competing will change form, according to their attitude in the Youth League and this will work the same way it does for athletes in the main squad, but will never be injured. They will get the same training as any other athlete in the youth, they will not get a favorite event but they can gain experience, although slower than a senior athlete.
When an athlete from the Youth Squad is promoted to the Main Squad, if his/her form is higher than 15, form will become 15 automatically. If form is 15 or less it will stay the same. So if an athlete has form 12 in the Youth Squad and gets promoted to the Main Squad, his/her form will be 12.

One of the most interesting aspects of Track and Field are the performances of athletes that achieve seasonal and all-time rankings of their performances.
In the Ranking section you can set the options to see the various rankings from seasonal to all time, from absolute to those by category and from regional to international. These rankings are very important because in some cases they form the criteria by which your athletes are invited in the most prestigious events.

The season rankings and club records are only updated when a performance is a personal season best. This means for example that an athlete will not break your club record if his performance is not a season best (SB). However, every time a relay team changes category, it can record a new time in the ranking in its new category, even if it is not an improvement of the overall time for the team.

Of particular interest in this area are the world records. If a world record of a category is beaten, the club of the athlete receives a prize (5.000) and if that record is an absolute world record (and it's still the world record at the time of the ranking's upgrade), there will be an additional award given based on how many days the previous record has held (500 for every day).
