Associations Bonus Summary
- Each Manager can give and receive ONE +4% bonus (Attack, Defence, Possession and Condition) to ONE Manager per tournament round
- Associations bonuses accumulate to the Manager's own Training bonuses, and there are no limits: you can go over 10%
- Associations bonuses reset after each round, so after semi-finals Managers go back to their regular Training levels and can give and receive another +4% bonus in Attack, Defence, Possession and Condition for the finals
Here's how it works
When a tournament starts, Association members can give +4% team bonuses to one Member of the Association to help them perform better during the current tournament. Each member can give and receive one bonus for Semi-finals, which is reseted after Semi-finals end, and then another one for the Finals.
This +4% can be Attack, Defence, Possession and Condition, like in Training, and it will be added to the team's current bonus level on that area. Note that there's no limitation about how many bonuses you can get for the same area.
Practical case
If a team has 5 other Managers in his Association, and all 5 give him +4% Attack bonus for Semi-Finals, that team will have +20% Attack bonus (coming from Associations) + his current Attack bonus from Training. So, if he had +6% in Attack from Training, he would be on +26% for Association matches during this tournament's round. Note also that Associations bonus only matters for Associations, for regular League / Cup / Champions League matches he will only have his Training bonuses as usual (so his team would have +6% in Attack for League matches, not +26%).
In this case if the team already had a 10% Attack bonus from Training, he would have an amazing +30% in Attack for the tournament Semi-final matches. But remember, Members can only give ONE bonus to ONE Member of the Association per round, so if everyone gives Team A all the bonuses, the other Members would get none
Tournament bonuses are reseted after Semi-finals and all Managers can give and receive again one +4% bonus in one of these 4 areas.
Important: Giving a team bonus to another member does not discount this bonus from your own team's bonuses. If you have an 8% possession bonus, giving a 4% bonus to your Association colleague won't reduce it by 4% - it will still be 8%.
