offered by other players will also automatically be placed in the schedule, identifiable by the player’s icon.

Change Gear
Select Change Gear from the Home menu to change clothes and put on accessories received as prizes, and from players, sponsors, the coach, and the SPT Administration.
Rest
To recover your player’s stamina select Rest from the Home menu, then select from the following:
Energy Drink: Instant recovery, but increases player fatigue.
Home: Takes one week of your schedule.
Reduces fatigue slightly.
Vacation: Takes three weeks of your schedule. Reduces fatigue.
Managing Data
Select Save to write the current game progress to your storage device or Load to continue with a different World Tour Player Data. Please note that this is the only way to save your World Tour Player Data. Progress will be lost if you exit without saving.
STAMINA
Attempt training and competitions while your stamina gauge is at zero and you will not be able to play to full capacity. Continue to push your player in this state and the additional fatigue can easily lead to an injury or worse.
Make sure your player gets sufficient rest when stamina is low.
