It has come to our attention that the New Zealand U19 manager has been running multiple teams and using those teams to train players for the U19 side and maintain national team players. He has therefore been removed from his post and will be replaced by the runner-up in the last elections, Shockwave.

All teams belonging to the cheat have been locked, it's not the first time we've approached him about multiple teams, and he is banned from the game. Any trainees in his teams will be lost and we are still discussing the future of any national team players in those teams. Any unfair advantage to the New Zealand international teams will be reduced and the U19 team will be penalised for their manager's conduct.

It also appears that a number of other New Zealand users knew about these multiple teams and yet did not inform the Admin Team via the appropriate Contact Us page. That people should be guilty of so readily accepting cheating within Battrick is worrying and we will be keeping a closer eye on those users in the future. The rules are quite clear on encouraging cheating in the game, we can and will lock accounts if people have supported cheating in Battrick.

We work very hard to ensure fairness for all users in Battrick and cheats will not prosper. Running multiple teams as farms for national or future U19 players will not be allowed to benefit national teams.
