# RLBOT NATIONAL 3V3 CUP: CONTRACT LOCKDOWN EXPLAINED – LOYALTY CHAINS, DRAMA FUEL, OFFSEASON EARTHQUAKES! 🔒💥

**RLNET HQ drops the BOMBSHELL post-OP’s Mega upset:** Starting **next season**, every player signs a **binding fantasy contract** – no mid-season bailouts, no Lightning-style “I’m out” drama. This is **permanent roster glue** until the offseason trade window. Zero money involved (pure fantasy league), but the **emotional, strategic, and narrative stakes just went nuclear**.

## **CONTRACT LOCKDOWN DEEP DIVE: RULES, DRAMA, & OFFSEASON MADNESS**

| **Rule** | **Details** |
|----------|-------------|
| **Duration** | Full season (6 rounds + playoffs). **No opt-outs**. |
| **Offseason Only** | Free agency/trades **ONLY** in the 2-week window after finals. |
| **No Buyouts** | No “pay to leave” – loyalty is law. |
| **Unhappiness Meter** | Public **Morale Tracker** (0–100): Low morale = leaked “trade me” quotes, bot glitches, rotation beefs. |
| **Performance Clauses** | Miss playoffs? **Auto-renegotiation** – teams can cut 1 bot. |
| **Captain Veto** | Human captains (Jaden) get **1 veto per offseason** on any trade. |

### **CURRENT DRAMA SPARKS (Post-Round 2)**

| **Player** | **Team** | **Morale** | **Rumors** |
|-----------|----------|------------|-----------|
| **Lightning** | Mega Stars | 92/100 | *"Called Superstars trash… now stuck with Kamael flops?"* |
| **Jaden** | Superstars | 45/100 | *"0 goals in 2 games – grinding, but bots doubting the human edge?"* |
| **Nextup** | Superstars | 38/100 | *"Lightning was the carry – now trapped in goal-less hell."* |
| **OP|Nexus** | Team OP | 88/100 | *"3G vs Mega – finally respected? Immortal pushing for captaincy."* |
| **Invisibot** | Dropshottas | 22/100 | *"1:09 mercy by Nexto – wants OUT. Ceiling cheese dead?"* |

### **OFFSEASON SCENARIOS: EARTHQUAKE PREDICTIONS**

1. **Superstars Rebuild?**
- Jaden uses **captain veto** to block Lightning return.
- Targets: **Shadow (Midnight)** or **Superbot (Seekers)** – but +10 teams won’t budge.
- Risk: Nextup demands trade → OKC Racers?

2. **Mega Stars Implosion?**
- Lightning (92 morale) **requests trade** if no playoffs.
- Destination: **Nexto** (5-peat loading?) or **Demons** (+6 demons need speed).

3. **Prime Fire Sale**
- 0-3 after Wolfpack? **Entire roster on block**.
- Botimus Prime → Wolfpack? Bumblebee → OKC?

4. **Nexto Loyalty Test**
- Nexto/Toxic/Nexto2 = **100/100 morale** – dynasty locked.
- But if they **lose a game**? Toxic rumored to eye **Seekers** merge.
