# FAQs: Football

**What happens when a player runs out of contracts?**

Shares with 0 contracts are no longer eligible for tournament rewards. The shares still exist and can be released, but they will not earn TP until contracts are renewed.

To renew:

* Buy contracts to reactivate existing shares
* Sign more shares. New shares start with 4 contracts and average with your existing holding.
* Or release the shares if you no longer want the player

Averaging example: 1,000 shares at 2 contracts remaining + 1,000 new shares at 4 contracts = 2,000 shares at 3 contracts average.

**How do I get Gold?**

On Pro: deposit USDC to your in-game wallet. It converts to Gold at 1:1.

On Free to Play: you receive a starter grant of TP and packs. Free to Play is being reworked. Details will be updated when it is live again.

***

**What is Squad Value?**

Squad Value is the current market value of all the shares you hold, based on live prices.

***

**When do I receive tournament rewards?**

Rewards are distributed at 4PM UTC on the day after the final match of the tournament.

Example: Final match at 8PM UTC on the 14th. Rewards arrive at 4PM UTC on the 15th.

***

**Is there a cap on shares per player?**

Yes. Each player has a maximum supply of 25,000,000 shares. This never changes.

***

**What does Circulating Supply mean in the app?**

Circulating Supply in the app = shares owned by managers + shares in the marketplace pool. It does not include shares held in the Development Squad.

***

**I benched a player. Did I lose my shares?**

No. Benching only affects eligibility. You still own the shares. They stop counting as Active Shares until you unbench them.

***

**What is the difference between Active Shares and Active Supply?**

Active Shares are your shares that have contracts and are not benched.

Active Supply is the total across all managers: every share held by any manager that has contracts and is not benched. Active Supply can rise and fall as managers bench and unbench without anyone signing or releasing.

***

**When are shares locked in during a live tournament?**

For FDF, the eligibility snapshot is taken when a player enters the pitch.

***

**Why do numbers on external sites not match the in-app figures?**

In-app Circulating Supply excludes Development Squad shares. Some external tools count differently. Sport.fun does not control external trackers. Use in-app figures as the source of truth.

***

**Where can I verify the pool addresses on-chain?**

| Pool            | Address                                      |
| --------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| FDF Marketplace | `0x9da1bB4e725ACc0d96010b7cE2A7244Cda446617` |
