Treasury phase
At the end of a match each team receives a fee for playing the game from the owner of the stadium where the match was played. The amount received represents the money that is left after all expenses have been paid. Teams with a higher rating get less gold because they have to pay out more money to the players in their team and for other expenses.
In order to work out their winnings each coach rolls a D6, and then cross-references their team rating with the gate for the match on the Match Winnings Table (see below) to see if there is any modifier to the die roll. The modified die roll is multiplied by 10,000 to see how many gold pieces are added to the teams treasury. If the modified die roll was 5, for example, the coach would be allowed to add 50,000gp to his treasury.

+1 For Winning the Match
In league matches it is possible for players to earn Star Player Points which may give them Star Player rolls at the end of the match as explained in
Team and Player Development . This phase is used by each coach to update the Star Player Points the players in their team have earned and to make any Star Player rolls for the players in their team.One Most Valuable Player award is given to each team at the end of the match, to be awarded randomly to a player on the team who played or was available for the game. Players missing the game due to injury, incarceration or other reason are not eligible.
Also ineligible are Star Players, or normal players who have been Peaked – their performance is always deemed to be ‘average’ for them. The same applies to players who died during the match. (ABBA)
Additionally, a team may be awarded bonus MVPs if the team has a lower Team Rating than the opposing team. (See
Handicap rules).
A teams Fan Factor may not be voluntarily changed once the league has started. Instead each coach must roll after every match to see if their Fan Factor changes. Roll a die, add or subtract any modifiers, and look up the result on the
Fan Factor Table. Any change to the teams Fan Factor must be recorded on the team roster. There is no limit to how high a teams Fan Factor may go, but it can never be reduced to less than 1.Fan Factor Table

In this phase the coaches may buy new players for their teams, either as replacement players for any that were killed during the match, or as new players to add to the team. New coaching staff (i.e., assistant coaches, cheerleaders, Apothecaries, etc.) may also be hired. A coach is also allowed to purchase additional Team Re-Roll counters for his team. New Team Re-Roll counters cost DOUBLE the amount shown on the team list, unless they are purchased with an ‘Extra Training’ Special Play Card at the start of the match.
If a coach hires a player for a team that already has 16 players, then one of the old players will have to be retired to make room for him. Simply delete the Retired player from the roster and fill the resulting space with the details of the new player. Each player that retires allows the coach to add an extra assistant coach to his team for free. A coach can, if he wishes, retire a player even if they do not have a new player to take his place.
This phase is used to make sure that both teams rosters are up-to-date and filled in correctly. A teams Value in gold pieces, Star Player Points and Team Rating need to be recalculated at the end of each game, and any notes or points of special interest can be recorded on the team roster at this time.
