If the world is listed as accepting new coaches, that means the world is in between seasons and if there are jobs available that you are qualified for, you can apply for one. If all of the available jobs have been taken, you'll be placed on a waiting list.
If the world is in progress, you have the ability to reserve a job (if there are any available that you are qualified for). Reserving a team will hold that team for you until the next season begins. No one else can take that team while you have it reserved. You will be notified via email once the season in progress concludes.
If the world is preparing to start a season, then it is not currently accepting new users or reservations. You will be placed on a waiting list which will notify you via email once the world is open again.
If you have never coached in that world, you'll be starting at Division III. So while there may be jobs available in DI and DII, you're not qualified for any of those jobs. If you've coached in that world before, you may be qualified to apply for a DII or even a DI job.
If you check for a job and there are none available, you'll be automatically added to the waiting list. Everyone on the waiting list will be notified via email when jobs become available or if a new world is started. New jobs are filled on a first come, first served basis.
Different worlds progress at different paces. The 1 game/day worlds will simulate one game overnight during the season. The 2 games/day worlds will simulate the overnight game and an afternoon game each day during the season. So those worlds will move through a season more quickly. Choose a world that works best with your schedule.
