Combined Counties League Premier Division (Cherry Red Records Combined Counties League Premier Division) 22 clubs

We currently have a researcher for the following level nine divisions:
Midland Football Alliance (Baker-Joiner Midland Football Alliance) 22 clubs
Essex Senior Football League 16 clubs

We would expect the researcher for each of these divisions to ensure that each division's clubs are correct, and the club files are correct (club info, kits, stadium), as well as providing details about the players at that leel. We would not expect full squads for those levels, but that players currently in our database who should be at that level are amended, and that every club has a manager, chairman and any exceptional players set.

REQUIREMENTS
Applicants will have both a huge passion for and extensive knowledge of their club. In fact, you ought to be obsessive about the level of detail that FM can hold for your club in our database, both for the playing and non-playing staff and for the club information such as kits, finances and records. We would expect you to be a season ticket holder (or regular matchgoer) for your club.

We do need that person to follow (or watch, if possible) the reserves and the youth team so that we can accurately simulate those squads' abilities in our game too. We would prefer the researcher to be a local to the town, to be best positioned to attend as many games as possible.

It is also a basic requirement that we would demand that the researcher be an avid FM gamer who understands how the game and the data work.

We would also expect you to understand the inadequacies of your playing and non-playing staff and be sensible about their level of skill. We are NOT looking for someone who will want to use this opportunity to blindly increase the abilities of his club's players.

Appointed researchers must have a basic level of computer skills. They must be capable of downloading zipped files from an ftp internet site and of using those zipped files once saved locally. Also, the appointed researcher must be prepared to contribute to the official SI Data Issues forum here as well as be an active member of the SI Researcher Network researcher-only forum (SIREN). With the growth of these forum communities, this is an essential factor.

We would prefer a researcher to be the type who will keep the flow of information coming rather than disappear off our radar for weeks or months.

The role is also about keeping us up to date of all transfers at the club, as well as being sensible about the financial position. In fact, if it is in the database for your club, we want your help to keep it updated! We would expect you to consider yourself THE authority on your club, rather than being a passive observer of them.

TASKS
The task involves giving fair and as-accurate-as-possible ratings to every aspect of each player’s game, including reserves and youth players, as well as identifying the qualities of the non-playing staff such as managers and coaches.

The work involves a thrice-yearly thorough working through of the staff and club data files, using a provided editing package that is simple to use. For the usual winter Data Update, at the end of the season and at the start of the next season, we would expect the researcher to assess the data for his club in this manner.

During the rest of the year, we need to be kept up to date with transfers and contract news, as well as info on the club debts/finances, so that every bit of information that FM uses about your club is as accurate as it can be at all times. It is the task of the researcher to provide the info, and to be up to date with the news from the club.

So, it will be the appointed researcher's call as to how your manager's designated formations, or your first-team goalkeeper's decisions attribute read in the FM2011 Post-January Transfer Window Data Update, and the FM2012 release.

In the last year we have successfully appointed new researchers for many clubs, including a large majority of those from appeals to these forums. Indeed, several appointed researchers have been after they were identified as being a suitable candidate based on their postings in this and other SI forums. (That includes Head Researcher level and Assistant-Head Researcher level as well as at a club-specific level).

Those who are active researchers get a lot more out of the role than those who simply submit files when requested, so please bear that in mind.

We do not pay, unfortunately, though we do provide a free advanced copy of FM2012, as well as integrate all researchers to our research team. Your reward is knowing that you have helped contribute to the FM series and that your team's data is as accurate as you would like it to be yourself.

Please email or PM me if you are in a position to lend a hand. Your help would be much appreciated. (my email is dean (at) sigames.com)
