End of support for Internet Explorer 6

Maxithlon.com

We want to point out to Maxithlon comunity an important news. Starting from the release of the next version of Maxithlon, planned for middle August, the development team will not support the web browser Internet Explorer 6. Anyone still using this browser (according to the game statistics, about 7.5% of the users still use it, even if this percentage is quickly decreasing) should consider the installation and use of an alternative browser, to avoid problems of visualization with the new web site. This decision has been taken to allow the site growth and, mostly, to avoid the waste of precious time during the development of the site, trying to make the site compatible with this old browser. For further information, please take a look to http://www.stopie6.com/.

Changes in the next seasons - Chapter 2

Here are other changes that will be introduced in the game starting on the next seasons. Weekly prize on National League We noticed that few users know that each week the club sponsors calculation have a parameter which consider the ranking in the weekly event of NL. To make it more clear, starting on the next season, this amount will be added as a single item in the weekly budget of your club. We remind you that the amount is calculated basing both on the rank of the event and on the series of NL. TV incomes From season 20 there will be a new weekly income for all the clubs: TV incomes. It will be a constant income for all the season, depending on own league level and on the number of active levels in your nation. The details of the TV incomes are available here: http://www.maxithlonguide.com/index.php/TV_incomes Individual awards From season 20 we will change the national individual awards calculation formula, using the same formula of world games awards, we think it's more meritocratic for all the positions. Anyhow the first place will not be modified. Then, the awards will be: Individual National 1- 10000 2- 6250 3- 4167 4- 3125 5- 2500 6- 2083 7- 1786 8- 1563 9- 1389 10- 1250 Junior / Master World Games 1- 20000 2- 12500 3- 8333 4- 6250 5- 5000 6- 4167 7- 3571 8- 3125 9- 2778 10- 2500 11- 2727 12- 2500 13- 2308 14- 2143 15- 2000 16- 1875 17- 1765 18- 1667 19- 1579 20- 1500 Relays The target is to finish the beta phase and start using the relays from next season in the National League and Club Championships events. For this reason, during this season, we will complete the last tweaks to be ready with the official competitions starting from season 19. The main changes will affect the relays' harmony, both in performance calculating phase and in case of possible disqualification. Also the points will be reviewed, because they are actually too high. Finally, we want to remind you that we have added a chapter in the guide (4.1) dedicated to relays. You are very welcome to read it for understand definitively how these work. Foreigner wage increase We want also to remind you that from season 20 the wages of the athletes with nationality different from the nationality of the club where they compete will be increased to 20%.
