Clubs
Clubs are the beating heart of Gaff, your brand, your legacy. A club isn’t just a roster screen, it’s a sovereign on-chain organization with assets, fans, and a timeline of glory you literally own.
What a Club Is
- A legal-ish bundle of rights (on-chain): your crest, kit set, and roster (Player NFTs) live under your club identity.
- A performance machine: formations, tactics, training plans, and match history shape results and reputation.
- An economy: prize money, transfer revenue, shop spend, academy mints, and secondary royalties flow through your club treasury.
- A social magnet: chat threads, rivalries, and community-led events build intangible value, referrals, audience, sponsors (roadmap).
Core Capabilities
1) Identity & Branding
- Crest, colors, home/away/third kits (with future kit NFT drops).
- Club page with bio, achievements, titles, trophy cabinet, and historical records.
- Vanity URL (roadmap) and media kit for sponsorships.
2) Roster & Depth Chart
- Player NFTs (yours to train, trade, loan).
- Default lineup + bench, saved tactical presets per opponent type.
- Fitness & availability (stamina, suspensions, injuries) surfaced at a glance.
- Loan list with terms (duration, recall rules, wage split).
3) Tactics & Matchday
- Formations: 4-4-2, 4-3-3, 3-5-2, 4-2-3-1, 4-1-4-1, 5-3-2, 4-3-2-1, 3-4-3.
- Instructions: pressing, width, tempo, game plan, defensive style, line height, marking, offside trap.
- Sub plans: scheduled minute windows, conditional subs (fatigue/injury), and safe handling of empty slots (no crashes).
- Analytics: shot map (roadmap), expected goals-lite, player ratings trend, rolling form.
4) Training & Development
- Drills with diminishing returns and fatigue costs (finishing, first touch, pace, vision, press resistance, aerials, defensive shape).
- Weekly plans that auto-respect match days.
- Shop boosts (energy, focus, rehab, morale) with anti-farm caps.
- Progression you own: gains make your Player NFTs more valuable in market terms.
5) Academy Pipeline
- Scouting seeds → prospects → graduates (mintable if standards met).
- Evaluation friendlies and reveal mechanics for hidden ranges.
- Graduation rules (appearances, scouting completeness, compliance).
- Royalty tail: your club earns a slice of early secondary sales for academy grads.
6) Finance & Ops
- Treasury: prize pools, transfer income, royalties, marketplace settlements.
- Competition ops: set entry fee, max strength, match frequency, payout policy (Hardline/Broad), teamCount, and groupCount (for Mixed tournaments) when you host.
- Creator fee: 5% (capped at 1 BNB) paid at conclusion (tournaments & leagues).
- Join/Leave window: open until
teamCountfills, then the contract locks, no new joins/leaves.
- Compliance: anti-sybil checks, fair scheduling, transparent tiebreaks/payouts on-chain.
7) Reputation & Honors
- Elo-style rating (roadmap), division badges, and historic leaderboards.
- Honors log: titles, finals, top-scorer/assist awards.
- Rivalry graph and derby tags (roadmap).
Liquidity & Ownership
- Transfer market: list/bid/offer on Player NFTs (gasless listing, on-chain settlement).
- Loans: monetize squad depth, develop youngsters with minutes elsewhere.
- Future: Sell the club (Roadmap): package brand, roster, academy rights, and treasury into a Club NFT for full-entity transfer (with governance guardrails).
- Sponsorships (Roadmap): kit deals, sleeve sponsors, stadium naming, revenue share codified by smart contracts.
Competitive Pathways
- Friendlies: chemistry, fitness, scouting looks, no inflationary rewards.
- Tournaments: Knockout or Mixed (Groups→KO) with synchronized rounds, provable rules, and prize clarity.
- Leagues: seasonal cadence, top-3 prizes + Golden Boot & Playmaker awards, promotion/relegation on the roadmap.
Social & Community
- Threaded chat for each competition and club, images, memes, match banter.
- Referral program: bring managers, earn tournament discounts/academy perks.
- APIs & data (roadmap): opt-in stat feeds for community dashboards, podcasts, and trader tools.
Why Building a Club Matters
- Compounding edge: training + tactics + scouting yields durable advantage that isn’t wiped by a patch.
- Portable value: your assets and results live on-chain, you can exit—via selling a player, loaning talent, or (roadmap) selling the club.
- Culture & fandom: identity drives demand. The more you win, the more your badge means in markets and in memory.
