The Barentin Story

The French champion FC Barentin is the first Masters winner in Hattrick history. By many observers, their manager, Elderbor, was congratulated to the title, but simultaneously attacked by others for the manner in which he won the cup. For those who did not follow the details, here is a short summary of the Barentin story.

Having won six French titles and one national cup, Elderbor was about to quit Hattrick, but when the Masters were announced, this gave him the kick to proceed. He immediately sold his old team and with the acquired transfer money bought cheap divine-plus players with salaries everybody finds difficult to pay. Within days he went bankrupt, of course, but he could still manage his team, thanks to the forner odd rules in such a case: Practice showed that you were not excluded from the game, but could still log in 5 times, just enough to win the Masters: It was before the semi-final, when he had spent his fifth login, and he was lucky not

§§  THE CONTROVERSIAL RULE

“If you run up debts amounting to 500 000 € you'll be given a bankruptcy warning and, as a result, you'll have severely limited access to Hattrick. If you do not return your balance to within the 500 000 € debt limit within one week of your bankruptcy warning, you may be forced to leave the Hattrick series system!”

to have any injuries during that match, because when the final started, his team already played without manager. Other Masters players went for the divine trick, too, but to my knowledge, he was the only one who deliberately ran into bankruptcy.

After this triumph, a fierce discussion broke out, if Elderbor was to blame for his conduct, or rather the rules, which desperately needed a clarification.

HT promptly reacted by a revision of two rules: From 24th April 2006, you have to pay one salary in advance for newly contracted players, which will make the divine trick more difficult.

Secondly, "you will have two weeks in which to regain sound economical status, with no login limits." This puts an end to the Barentin method, since teams are bots before the Masters even start.

Elderbor has announced to start anew with another team in the lowest French division. Good luck! (22/04/06)

Three interviews with Elderbor
  • Jazz interviewed Elderbor for the Hattrick Masters homepage shortly before the beginning of the tournament.
  • spiderfab interviewed him for the ht-star after winning the cup.
  • -Bamb- interviewed him for hattrickfrance in French, also shortly after his triumph.
