Scenario Events
Scenario events are self-policed random events that fire at the start of each season when enabled on a challenge run. They add narrative friction — illness forcing you to sim games, embargoes blocking signings, board crises threatening your job.
There's no enforcement or verification. If you break a rule, you only cheat yourself. That's the point.
