There will be several different kinds of clubs / organisations

  • Sports Club
  • Social Club
  • Gang
  • Political Party
  • Unions

Each organisation has a chair.  The chair is elected, term is 2-5 years, decided when organisation founded.  First candidate with more than 50% of the vote, multiple rounds. 

An organisation has a committee of up to 10% of the membership, minimum of 3, maximum of 20.  

If the organisation collects money it requires a treasurer, who is nominated by the chair, but needs to be approved by 66.6% of the committee members.  The treasurer makes payments, which have to be approved by the chair.  The treasurer can resign, in which case the chair has to propose a new treasurer.  The chair can propose expenditure while there is no treasurer, it has to be approved by 66.6% of the committee members.

A gang has a boss.  The term for a boss is unlimited.  When the boss decides to step down, the existing committee members vote for a new boss, who must be a member of the committee.

In a gang, committee members and treasurer are appointed by the chair (boss).  

Organisations / Gangs can be public or private.  Membership can also be public or private.  A gang becomes public when one of its members is convicted of a crime, they also become public.  Members of other organisation become public if the organisation is public, and they hold any office, such as chair or committee member, or play in the team..   

To put up candidates in an election you need to be a political party with members.  To register costs £10,000.  To put up a candidate costs £500, which 80% is refunded if you get 10% of the vote.

Sports clubs can join leagues.  It costs £100 in the first year to join a league, and £2 per member per year in subsequent years.  A team must play three games in a year or they are removed from the league and have to pay the joining fee again!  Teams can be promoted to higher or demoted to lower leagues without paying the joining fee.  League fees are used to pay prizes. 1st (50%, 2nd (20%), 3rd(10%) to clubs who win the league.

A league requires a sponsor.  It costs £100 to form a league.  To form the next league up costs 10x the previous league fee.  20% of the league profits can be withdrawn by the sponsor each year.  The sponsor gets to design the league logo which appears on all club kits.

Organizations collect membership fees, either a fixed amount, or a percentage of income.  A parent has to be a member, then their children pay a lesser fee.   

Organisations can collect donations.  

Organisations / Clubs can pay for rent of pitches, property, and advertising.  Gangs can also distribute money among members.  Gangs can pay bribes to Police to reduce convictions.

Organisations / Clubs can own or rent property, which gives a significant boost to their status.  They can host events for members on their property.  Gangs need to have a few members in their property at all times, or the property may be vandalised by other gangs.

Organisations can also hire staff, administration, security, coaching.  Sports can go professional, and join a professional league, where they can pay salaries to players.  Players can be semi-professional, and have a primary job.  They need enough cash in their club to pay 3 months of salaries and 6 months of rent on their property.  Social clubs too can hire staff.  

Professional sports clubs can sell tickets to their matches, if they are renting a closed venue.  They need to employ security for the match.  They need to have an administrator to issue tickets and collect payments.

Amateur sports clubs pay a small fee per match to the local council.  They do not need staff.  

Clubs / Organisations can convert to being companies with each member holding one share.
