**Category change**

{% hint style="success" %}
**A Ballman can change categories as soon as he reaches the basic skills of the higher level Ballman ⚡️.**
{% endhint %}

A *Rookie* Ballman can thus become a *Challenger* as soon as he reaches **220 skill points**, further become an *Epic*, then *Champion*.

*An exception is made for the Legend Ballmen, which are and will remain 6200 NFTs in total.*

**No new Legend Ballman players will ever be created: the only way to get one is to buy on OpenSea.**
