Mandatory Minimum Release Fees by Division Level - ThisIsKareemG/fmusa-kjg GitHub Wiki
To set the mandatory minimum release fees per division level, you can establish a tiered structure based on the level of the division. Higher divisions should have higher minimum release fees to reflect the greater financial power of those clubs, while lower divisions should have lower fees, protecting them from being taken advantage of but still enabling some level of movement.
