Some welcome news for all Gold Members (GC) or those of you who are currently thinking of upgrading your account (which can be done via the SM Shop).

As some of you may or may not be aware be aware there are currently 19 Gold Championships, and this number is to low in relation to how many Gold Members we currently have. This can be seen in facts and figures:

Gold Members - 6,517;
Gold Members club slot allocation - 14;
Number of Gold Championships - 19;
Number of clubs withn all Gold Championships - 7,930.

Therefore if each Gold Member decided to manage say five clubs solely within the elite Gold Championships (which would require 32,585 clubs) there would be a massive shortfall!

So what is the answer to the above problem?

Well it is a simple one and that is to create more Gold Championships for our Gold Members, and in doing so give a greater choice of clubs for them to choose from.

Why should I upgrade my account to become a Gold Member?

Well if you upgrade your account via the SM Shop to become a Gold Member you will be able to:

Compete in the exclusive Gold Championship Setups (as long as your reputation is 40 or greater).
