CM Research Network

“Football is rightly the biggest sport in the world, followed and adored by millions. Our games are reliant on accuracy in order to appeal to those fans, and because of this, the data within Championship Manager needs to be as near perfect as we can get it to be.” - Roy Meredith

The research network provides invaluable support to the research team at Beautiful Game Studios. The accuracy of the data in Championship Manager is important so your expert local knowledge of your club(s) will help us make the quality of our database even better.

We currently have 5 Levels of Research Volunteer designed to suit every type of researcher with the scope to extend responsibilities further, if you wish.

CM Knowledge Definition
