As there are only 10 training nets available each week it would be pointless to hire more than a total of 10 from the five types of coaches listed above.

Each coach hired opens up one net of that training type.
(eg. hire 3 bowling coaches to open up 3 bowling nets).

Once you have hired at least one specialist coach, you can start to allocate a player to each of these coaches for the week within the nets area. Each coach will add one more available coaching session.

There are some limitations though. Due to the limited time and space available, you can only have 10 coaching sessions each week. If you have more specialist coaches than that, then you are simply paying them to sit around each week. Even if you do allocate a player to them, he will never get the chance to train as the net space will never be available.

Secondly, although each player can be allocated to more than one specialist coach, the effectiveness of the sessions will reduce with every duplication.
(eg. if you allocate Smith to two batting sessions, he will get the full benefit from the first session, but due to the amount of work he has already done in that session, the amount he can possibly gain from the second session is much less (about 65% of normal amount). If he was allocated to a third batting session, he would receive again even less training. A fourth training session would only provide negligible benefit.

However, if Smith was told to also go to a bowling session as well as the batting ones, he would still get the full benefit from the first bowling session. Again, any subsequent bowling sessions would also see a reduction in training received.

When can we expect to get new groundsmen?
Whilst it has been promised for some time, it hasn’t happened yet – but watch this space – we’ll let you know as soon as we do.

Use the calculator to see how to maximise interest based on how much you have in the bank and how many Financial Advisers you employ.

When do I need Financial Advisors?
If you are in debt, they can help arrange a lower interest rate. If your balance is showing a profit, they will get you a higher interest rate.

Use the calculator to see how to maximise sponsorship income based on how many supporters your club has.

This table illustrates how many PR guys you should have according to how many members you have:

* 1 PR: 487 members
* 2 PR: 603 members
* 3 PR: 750 members
* 4 PR: 943 members
* 5 PR: 1205 members
* 6 PR: 1584 members
* 7 PR: 2179 members
* 8 PR: 3250 members
* 9 PR: 5750 members
* 10 PR: 18251 members

And here is a nice formula for it:
i=0.08*(150+20n-n^2)*(m + 500)-1

Where:
i = income from sponsor
n = number of PR guys
m = members

Training secondaries
Psychologists work with the bowling, batting and fielding coaches to help improve the concentration and consistency of your players being trained.
Your psychologists will attend all but the fitness coaching sessions, and will be passing on helpful hints to the players while they are being coached.

While employing these specialists will help your team with any morale issues you may be experiencing, they can also help your players with the more mental skills: concentration and consistency. Your psychologists will attend all but the fitness coaching sessions, and will be passing on helpful hints to the players while they are being coached. The more psychologists you have, the more advice can be dished out, although the law of diminishing returns does apply here too with each additional psychologist providing fewer words of wisdom than the one before.
