URL HOOK

Single Player

#single-avatars-of-football
Open to everyone

One bookmark drops you into an Avatars of Football round at the difficulty and player type you pin in the URL. Easy or Normal with All players is open to everyone — Hard/Extreme or a specific player type asks you to sign in first.

Pattern

/games/avatars-of-football?difficulty=<easy|normal|hard|extreme>&status=<all|active|retired>#single-avatars-of-football

Params go before the hash. Leave them off for a quick Normal / All-players game:

/games/avatars-of-football#single-avatars-of-football
Open

Or pin a tougher combo:

/games/avatars-of-football?difficulty=hard&status=retired#single-avatars-of-football
Open

More combinations

Mix any difficulty with any player type — a few handy ones:

Easy warm-up, current players only
/games/avatars-of-football?difficulty=easy&status=active#single-avatars-of-football
Open
Retired legends, normal difficulty
/games/avatars-of-football?status=retired#single-avatars-of-football
Open
Hardest test — extreme, all players
/games/avatars-of-football?difficulty=extreme#single-avatars-of-football
Open

Parameters

difficultyeasy · normal (default) · hard · extreme

The round's difficulty.

statusall (default) · active · retired

Which footballers to draw from. Guests are limited to “all”.

Unknown or missing values fall back to the defaults — a malformed link still starts a game.

Behavior

  • On page load the hash is read once and cleared via history.replaceState — refreshing doesn't re-trigger the start.
  • Guests can start Easy/Normal with All players; their results aren't ranked.
  • If a signed-out visitor pins Hard/Extreme or a specific player type, the link sends them to sign in and resumes the exact game afterwards.
