Nice try! But I'm not going to tell you the rules when it's in my best interests to say 'buy the book' ;)

When all your positionals are dead and injured and you're stuck fielding a team of journeymen and rookies. Been there!
With expensive mistakes you wont save that much cash.
Sponsorship deals and Expensive Mistakes work well together ;)

You can have around 200k cash and 200k petty cash.

But how often?
Yeah, this is the fundamental flaw of the twins. They are both exceptional players -- but their insistence on playing together means you will only see them very rarely. I think we could agree, though, that if an Elf team is getting 400k in inducements, they probably need all the help they can get.

It depends if your league mixes new teams with old. Yesterday our Elf Coach has 700k inducements

What did they take for those 700k inducements? I bet they needed every penny of them.

I'm more worry in tournaments that in leagues. In leagues will be rare, but in tournaments with lot gold to expense and tier 2 allow to have two SP would be possible.
I can see a Pro Elf team with the twins, an extra blitzer and a couple of catchers playing a crazy pass game every round.

It is on the match report! Fresh breeze and Morg. Morg got killed on a Foul after the Claw-Mino failed to stun him three times in a row!

I'll challenge you to find a tournament from the tournaments page with a ruleset that allows enough cash to buy that! I'd heartily suspect that there are no tournaments allowing you that much cash (plus most insist on 11 players before stars too)

Sorry, I couldn't find it. Still new to OLBBL. Perhaps Jordell and the Twins would have been better than Jordell and Morg, but I'm not 100% certain. Basically, almost any time you could field the twins, you could alternatively field Morg, so it's not a no brainer, regardless of how good they are.

Tournaments of 1200TV or 1250TV.
1 x Blitzer, 2 x Catcher, 8 x Lineman, 1 Reroll, The twins (if it is a 1200TV you can swap a catcher for a lineman or drop the reroll). And if it is not restriction of 11 players before stars, drop a Lineman buy another reroll.

Would anyone consider either of these team rosters to be a problem? (Personally, I don't see High Elf or Elf Union teams burning up the tournaments.) Both of them have pretty limited player skill bases, not many RRs, no apothecary, and two of their best players are Loners.

Maybe is not the best tournament roster, but I see a good improvement in a HE or EU roster. Best players are Loners but the thrower with Sure Hands and Pass won't need it. And with the extra skills you can built a pretty solid team IMO.

It's true will be rare to see them in the pitch, but I have a couple of elf coaches that I'm pretty sure they will be happy to take them to a tournaments.
