Day 1 Action Checklist

1

Balance your 200-minute rotation

FIBA games operate on an exact 200-minute budget pool. Confirm starters and set bench minutes. In a hurry? Use the "OVR Stars" or "Evenly" preset to balance instantly.

Check your foreigner quota

There is no EU exemption in Baxball — any player born outside your club’s country counts as foreign. Watch the "X/Y" quota counter before making transfer offers.

Protect free budget & the 20% cap

Salaries and buyouts share the same single pool. No single player contract can exceed 20% of the total budget. Avoid running negative — a deficit locks all new signings.

Spend your 3 daily scouting credits

3 Fatal Rookie Mistakes to Avoid

1. Playing through PAIN

Giving 30+ minutes to a player flagged with PAIN invites severe escalation that can end his season or career.

2. No natural C or PG backup

Out-of-position players suffer in direct matchups. Without a natural C, opponents will mercilessly bully the paint.

3. Impulsive Club Reset

A deficit does not stop games. Shed bloated contracts first. A Club Reset is a last-resort lifeline that wipes prestige.
