In the United Lounge, all United Events can be managed. You can also look up all public events, no matter if they have taken place a long ago, are currently ongoing, or are still about to take place. Premium Account members can observe events. You do not need to participate in events to see or observe them.
You can also create new United events here, with lots of different options.
To access the United Lounge, go to United-> Lounge in the main menu.
Here you get a list of all of your events:
Events your team currently participates in or has previously played in
Events that you have organized or are currently organizing
Events that are currently observed by you
Selection of an event from the list shows you all the options that have been set. Select one of the 4 tabs on the bottom right to get even more info. You can get a list of all participants, view the press releases, and take a look at the match schedule. Keep reading for more information about the different options that can be set.
To find specific events or to look for event to join, you can set a range of different filters. To do so, select the search tab on the top. Some of the filter options might be combined but some disclose each other.
In the quick search, you just select the type of event you are looking for. In the advanced search, you can search by size, status, and by the selected options.
Selection of an event from the list shows you all the options. You also have the option here to watch the event (as a premium owner) and to participate.
Creating a United Event is very easy. An easy-to-use dialog system will assist you.
First, you have to select what type of event you want to create. These three different types may be chosen:
United Cup: Cup events can be created with different numbers of competitors. All cups will take place in the knock-out system without return matches. If less than half of the maximum number of participants do register the event will be cancelled and the GU STARS are refunded.
United League: League Events can be generated for a number of 4 up to 20 teams. A second leg may be played in all leagues with up to 10 participants. If there are fewer registered clubs than the announced maximum number the event will be resized and the trophy will automatically be adjusted. As the GU STAR cost is dependent on the number of registered clubs there will be a refund in this case. If there are less than 4 teams the league will be cancelled completely.
United Tournament: United tournaments are a combination of cups and leagues. They begin with a short phase in league mode, with the winners advancing to the knock-out phase.

Advanced settings and filter
Only one of the following options can be selected at a time:
Ladder-Mode - to play for Ladder-Points
Handicap - to play with a Handicap. (A handicap is a good option to set when teams with different strengths play in the same event. It will even out the teams and give everyone a chance to win by choosing good formations and tactics.)
Additionally up to five “requirements for participation” can be set. The options are:
Filter by Strength
Filter by Country
Filter by Layer
Filter by Ladder-Points
Only teams that meet all set requirements can register for an event.
First, you set if return matches are played. Leagues and tournaments allow this option.
Then you can select match dates by clicking them. It is possible to play a complete event in one day or to spread it out over a longer time.
Finally, the duration of the registration phase can be set (1-31 days). The deadline for registration and the date of the first match (at least 24 hours after the deadline) will be calculated accordingly. Also, the date of the last match will be displayed.
Here you see the costs for the event. United Cups do cost each participant 150 GU STARS, the charges for United Leagues depend on the number of match dates (less than 100 GU STARS per match). The number of match dates will be shown as well.
You can also select to pay the complete charges for the event. In that case, the event is free for all other participants.
Lastly, a brief description might be entered and the trophy checked, before finally creating the event. You just have to click the button that displays the costs.
You may participate in as many events per day and week as you like.
Simultaneous match dates are not a problem, as the live-ticker does display several matches at once
You can also use a United coupon to join a United event or create one
If you have more than 10 united matches that are played at the same time, you can go to Matches-> All fixtures in the menu and access the live-ticker of a specific match underway
Players should be available for sale 1-2 hours after the conclusion of a united match, unless they are included in the line-up for other matches that are currently underway or starting soon.
There is no advantage for the team who scored more goals in the away match of the knockout phase. For example: In case of a draw after two matches and total result, the extra time and ultimately penalties will decide the team who advances to the next round.
When two or more clubs finish on equal points in a United Tournament group phase or United League event, the ranking will be decided by the following "tiebreakers" (in the order below):
goal difference
more scored goals
random
