After team creation gold must not be used. Any treasury left and any gold gained must only be used on inducements.
2. When you lose a game you have to retire players worth
130k + 20k for each negative point TD difference.
- a) Skill values count towards the amount of gold you need to retire.
- b) If you can't match the exact amount you have to pay a higher amount. The
- additional cost won't be refunded.
- c) Resurrected players can be retired like all other players but when a retirement is necessary, an original player from the roster always must be included.
3. When you win a game you don't have to retire anything.
4. A coach must not hire any journeymen.
Journeymen are automatically selected.
If you can't field 11 players you have to unselect JM in the team menu. Failing to unselect them is a rule violation and will result in a penalty (check V.). You will be still allowed to use your JM since they are already there.

2. Failing to remove journeymen from the roster is illegal but you will be still allowed to use them if you make that mistake.
3. Failing to remove players from your roster worth the amount of gold you need to retire is illegal. Every player failed to remove counts as one rule violation. Players who are not allowed to play because they were supposed to be retired need to be either put in the reserves box or in a corner of the game in the endzone. The players must not be ever moved during the game. The opposing coach is allowed to interact with them. This rule is only relevant when enforced by your opponent during the game.
