Sponsors (Pocket League Story)

---

Sponsors pay you money each time you play a match. Additionally, when you sign with a new sponsor, you get a one-time bonus, such as an introduction to another sponsor or the ability to hire a new player.

You must convince businesses to sponsor you. It costs RP to meet with a sponsor, and it may take multiple meetings to convince them to sponsor you. The higher your fame or ranking, the easier it is to convince the sponsor.

There are four ways to unlock sponsors:

1. The first five sponsors are unlocked by winning the Practice Match.
2. Some sponsors are unlocked by signing other sponsors.
3. Many sponsors are unlocked by running the fan activity Meet & Greet.
4. Many sponsors are unlocked when your team gains a rank.
