However, only the team accepting the PU game pays the token for that game.
For example, Team A challenges Team B to a PU game. Providing Team A has at least 1 token, and Team B has at least 1 token, the PU game can go ahead once Team B accepts the challenge. It is Team A, however, who initiates the PU game by issuing the challenge.
How to challenge another team to a PU game:
IMPORTANT:
A) You cannot challenge another team to a PU game if you do not have at least 1 token; and
B) Another team cannot accept a challenge if they also do not have at least 1 token.
I noticed that in

Could you clarify if that's still accurate? It seems different from the explanation here.
