# 16. Season Start in Lazy Football

At the start of each new season in **Lazy Football**, a series of system-wide updates are applied automatically:

* All players age by 1 year
* Players marked with R (Retiring) officially retire and leave their teams
* Players who will retire at the end of a next season are determined — they receive the R mark according to the rules (see [Player Retirement](/how-to-lazy-football/creating-team.md))
* The Season match calendar is published
* All Union ratings are reset
* Any trainings, energy recoveries, or check-ups that were in progress at the moment of a season switch are stopped and cancelled
* All buildings that were under construction before the season switch are completed automatically
* Player's energy is set to 80% + Fitness Center level
* Seasonal counters for players obtained via the Youth Academy are reset
* All players listed on the Transfer Market are automatically delisted
* A draw for all divisions of regional championships is conducted
* The club ranking for the last 5 seasons is updated
* Team Trophies are updated
* The draw for the first round of the Amateur Conference typically takes place 2 days before the matches
