If your country appears in the list, please write to Game Administration by using Contact in the Help Menu. Ask for player renaming. We will execute the job in the background.

My country is not in the list, what to do? You could contribute two files, containing first names and surnames. Please send one file surnames.txt, and another file firstnames.txt. Of course surnames.txt contains only surnames, while firstnames.txt only contains first names. Names have to be written with a leading Capital. One name per line please, and no things like , or ; please. Send the files to the address you got the registration email from. Please put a short information along with the files for who you are - your username in RedZoneAction.org - and for which country the email and names are valid for. If you plan to do the job for more than one country...one country, one email please.

My country is not in the list, what happens if I ask for renaming though? Easy, you will get a mix of all names. Might be your starting QB owns a Chinese first name combined with an Irish surname after the renaming...something like 美麗的花 OSullivan...be careful, we will execute those jobs, and the worse the better ;)

Any disadvantages on renaming my players? Yes, the play by play of past matches will not match by name anymore, but the links are still working.
