Thanks to NFT technology and the ownership it grants to MetaSoccer users, they can make decisions about the assets they own. In this case, users have the option to retire a scout regardless of the scout's age.
Retiring a Scout is a significant decision. It's important to note that this operation is final and results in the permanent deletion of the asset. However, as a form of compensation, the owner is granted a refund of a fraction of the invested Knowledge Tokens.

When a Scout is retired, the owner receives a fraction of the Knowledge Tokens used to enhance the Scout. This quantity of Knowledge Tokens depends on various factors such as the Scout's age, its Overall Knowledge (OVR), the number of its special abilities, and whether it has a specific role or not.
The calculation for the returned Knowledge Tokens (KT) is mathematically represented as:
$$ kt = t \times \left[ (-0.02 \times a + 1.302) \times \left( \left( \frac{k \times k_w + s \times s_w + r \times r_w}{k_{\max} \times k_w + s_{\max} \times s_w + r_{\max} \times r_w} \right) \times (1 - 0.1) + 0.1 \right) \right] $$
