<summary>What happens when a player runs out of contracts?</summary>

If a player has 0 contracts, they are no longer 'active' and not eligible and will not enter the upcoming tournaments, so they are not eligible for rewards until contracts are renewed.

* You can buy contracts again to make them active.
* You can buy more shares. All new player shares start with 4 contracts. This works on a averaging system.
  * If you have 1K shares with 2 contracts left, then buy another 1K shares (which have 4 contracts), you will end with 2K total shares, at 3 contracts.
* You can sell players even if they have 0 contracts.

<summary>Are shares “minted” forever or is there a cap?</summary>

Each player has a fixed **Max Supply of 25,000,000 (25M) shares.** That cap never changes.

</details>

<details>

<summary>What does “Circulating Supply” mean in the app?</summary>

**Circulating supply (in-app)** = **shares owned by users** + **shares sitting in the marketplace pool.**

The in-app number does not include shares held in the Development Squad, so it can look different from some external trackers or community sites.

<details>

<summary>I benched my shares, did I lose them?</summary>

No. Benching only changes eligibility.

You still own the shares, but they stop counting as **Active Shares** until you unbench them

</details>

<details>

<summary>What’s the difference between “Active Shares” and “Active Supply”?</summary>

* **Active Shares:** your shares that are currently active (has contract, not benched).
* **Active Supply:** everyone's shares that are currently active, across all users. (still has contract, not benched).

So if lots of users bench shares. **Active Supply** can drop even though nobody sold anything.

<summary>Why do numbers change during the week?</summary>

Because eligibility changes.

Users can bench/unbench, contracts can change, and updates what counts as "active" in real time.

Ownership can stay the same while "active" numbers move.

</details>

<details>

<summary>When are shares locked in during a live tournament?</summary>

For **FDF**, snapshot of active supply is taken when a **player enters the pitch.**

For **NFL**, snapshot of active supply is taken when the **game starts.**

The snapshot locks in all **eligible active shares** at the above times. This means the active supply number on a players page can still change after that snapshot is taken.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Why don't external sites match the in-app numbers?</summary>

Two main reasons:

1. **In-app circulating excludes Development Squad**, some trackers might include it or count differently.
2. **SDF doesn't control community tools**, so methods and refresh rates vary. If you're ever unsure, you can use the in-app definitions for the source of truth.
