# 📋 Frequently Asked Questions

## FutbolBrawl - FAQ

### Getting Started

**What is FutbolBrawl?** A competitive football management game on blockchain. Build your club, develop players, set tactics, and compete against other managers for real rewards.

**Do I need to pay to play?** No. You get a full 22-player squad for free when you create your club.

**How much do I need to compete for rewards?** A small amount of capital is enough to start. There's no mandatory minimum, how much you commit depends on your strategy.

**Do I need crypto experience?** You need a Web3 wallet (MetaMask, Trust Wallet) and know how to transact on BSC. If you've used a dApp before, you're good.

### Economy

**What's the difference between $GOAL and $CASH?** $GOAL is the real token on BSC, fixed supply, bought with BNB. $CASH is the in-game currency used for everything. $CASH only enters the game when someone converts $GOAL. Both tokens live on-chain, but $CASH has no value outside the game.

**Is there inflation?** No. $GOAL has a fixed 1B supply. $CASH isn't printed, every coin in circulation was put there by a player.

**Can I convert $CASH back to $GOAL?** Yes, through the in-game orderbook exchange. You set your price, it fills when another player accepts.

### Gameplay

**Do better teams always win?** No. The match engine uses dice rolls modified by stats, formation, tactics, and staff. A well-prepared underdog can beat a higher-rated squad.

**Are matches real-time?** No. Instant simulations, set your tactics, confirm, get a full match report immediately.

**Do players age?** Yes. Young players develop faster, veterans start stronger but improve slower.

**Are players NFTs?** No. Players live inside the game and are tradeable on the marketplace, but they're not individual on-chain assets.

### Risks

**Can I lose money?** Yes. Competitions involve real wagers and the winner takes the pot. Play with what you're comfortable risking.

**Is this an investment?** No. It's a skill-based competitive game. No guaranteed returns, no passive income. You win by being a better manager.
