Franchise Distribution:
Franchises will be distributed on a first come first served basis, each team has a price tag of 50,000 vcash, however, the team will go to the first person to transfer the vcash, you can't say 'xyz team for me, i'll send the vcash later'. The team goes to the first person to send me the vcash.
