To present a tactic at FM-Arena, you need a tactic name, thread title, tactic picture and results. Description is appreciated, but optional.
Tactic Name Spoiler
The name of a tactic should be used to identify the tactic and differentiate it from others. Avoid overused or meaningless names. Examples of bad names are:
- "433" or "tiki-taka": There are too many tactics with each formation or style, so names like these don't have much meaning. - "John 433 tiki-taka": A bit better than before, but can very be confusing if you have multiple tactics with similar names, like "John 4231 tiki-taka" and "John 4132 tiki-taka". - Any name with non-international letters (like korean or chinese): Meaningless for people that can't understand those languages. - "rnd 2.2 VA v48": Any coded name is bad because most people don't know what it means.
Examples of good names include "Calcite", "Reaper", "Snow Halation" and so on, because you can easily identify which tactic it is or find it with a simple Google search.
Thread Title Spoiler
Make sure to include the tactic name in the thread title. The version number can be omitted since you can add multiple versions in the same thread. The same is valid for the engine version.
Tactic Picture Spoiler
Use a screenshot of the tactic page, which includes positions, roles and team instructions.
Results Spoiler
Avoid misleading results like 2048/49 season, since any team will be completely different from start of the game. If possible, either use one of the most popular testing leagues or show results from default database on first season in holiday mode, without any transfers. It's also fine to show results of a game you are playing yourself, but make sure to state it clearly.
The number of titles or position in table are not very useful information. A team can win everything with only 74 points in the league or lose everything with over 100 points. What actually matters are the points per match, or total points in the league by the end of season.
Don't use results to brag, like saying your tactic is unbeatable, that it won all titles or self-proclaiming it as the best tactic. FM-Arena tests will give an unbiased score and people will let you know if the tactic is good or not. Any results with Liverpool or PSG carry very little information and should be avoided, since they are clearly above the competition.

Good effort but I'm afraid you can say that a million times but people still will do as they want.

I have to at least try. Every week I see someone breaking all of those points at once, like bringing a tactic named "433psg114ptsalltrophies".
