While the whole world was frozen due to Coronavirus we had one of the most intensive seasons in the game's history.

This season we spent quite a lot of effort trying to attract new users. We have grown both in activity and the number of users! 
And at the same time we got a huge unexpected challenge - dead server - which was solved with reasonable impact to the users.

Neither Corona nor the dead-server could stop matches in the strongest league of the BasketPulse - World league 1.1 !
The fight for gold was between two Lithuanian teams King Kinka 75 and Basketballers
King Kinka 75 team has a long history in World league 1.1 Until the current season this team participated in the finals four times and always won the silver medals. And finally, in its 40th season in this league, the King Kinka 75 team became the Champion!
Basketballers won silver medals and continued its amazing performance - 7 seasons with medals in the last 8 seasons.

The fight for bronze was between AC "Tauragė" and Jinan University.
It is a very rare season when all three medals goes to teams from the same country. AC "Tauragė", with home court advantage, won against Jinan University and got the bronze medals.

National U16 tournament did not bring many surprises.
The two strongest teams - as usual - fought for GOLD. This time Lithuania won against China by 11 points difference. 
Argentina won bronze medals against Russia by 10 points difference.

National U21 
First time in the history Argentina’s national team reached the finals where it fought against Lithuania.
For the last ten seasons Lithuania did not manage to become the strongest U21 team, and finally they became the champions again.

The fight for bronze was between China and USA teams. 
The strongest team “in rankings” - China - won the gold medals in the last 10 tournaments. The favorites of the whole tournament lost the two most important matches in the championship and had to return home without medals. Congratulations to the USA team with an amazing win by 4 points difference.

Jobs done in 75th season

• Articles about the game and other advertisements led to growth of users in the game.
• Restored registration/login feature with Google account
• Updates in the system of special invitations to higher league. It will be 3 times more expensive to get a special invitation by investing credits. Place taken in the tournament will have bigger value than it had until now.
• Reminder e-mails are sent to users that haven’t logged in for a week
• Newly created team jerseys are displayed just after creation (the old version used to be displayed for a while). However the process of creating T-Shirts is still a bit complicated.
• The game migrated to the new server (because the old server unexpectedly died)
• Updates related to contracts extension and the market. More information here: https://www.basketpulse.com/lt/News-read-5eac85337cb0f_Game_status__changes_in_personnel_salaries_and_prices_of_extending_contracts.htm
• Predicted max RT displayed in the player's page. It will help users understand what they can expect from the player. Depending on how the player is trained, he can achieve better or worse RT.
• Announced the upcoming update: remove the free-throw skill. More info here: https://www.basketpulse.com/en/Press-read-13077980.htm

Next season plans

• Update players’ average salary to be calculated according to their positions as well. 
• Continue our work with advertising the game
• Continue our work with migrating to the new game’s design

Further planned updates

• In the end of 79th season free-throw shooting skill will be removed. Training points from free-throw skill will be added to middle range skill.
