TEAM BUILDING

Starting Gold and Star Player Point (SPP)
Tier 1: 1100k & 36 SPP
Tier 2: 1110k & 42 SPP
Tier 3: 1120k & 50 SPP
Tier 4: 1130k & 56 SPP
Tier 5: 1140k & 64 SPP
Tier 6: 1150k & 70 SPP

You can spend spp according to the rulebook, but no random skills or characteristic
improvements are allowed. You are only allowed to take two extra skills on the same player.
You are only allowed to “stack” for 1 player for tier 1-2, 2 players for tier 3-4 and 3 players for tier 5-6.
Unspent gold and star player points are lost.

You can’t choose more than 4 from the same skill while spending star player points. If your
team already has at least 4 from the same skill after buying your players (including star
players) but before spending your skill points you CAN’T have more of that skill.
i.e.: A dark elf coach bought 4 blitzers and 2 witch elfs, thus they can only give out two more
dodge before reaching the limit of 4 dodges total. Since they already have at least 4 blocks
on the roster they cannot give out any more.

You are not allowed to have bribes if your team also has gsined either sneaky git or dirty player skill
on the roster. (Gained inludes stars, so no borak plus bribe)

maximum of 50k gold for 10 spp)

B: “Training camp”: get extra 6 spp but you lose 30k gold. If you choose this pack, you are
