Completely Noobish Question

Not to mention a stupid one.
Anyway, regarding star players, I've looked around the LRB and for the life of me can't find anything that says when you can use star players. Can you just buy them as casually as a bag of chips, or can you only do so in leagues if you've amassed so many points? Could I use them in just a one off game?
Sorry to seem idiotic, but I'm a complete noob to BB.
Cheers.

Page 49 of the LRB 5.0 (and it is listed in the table on contents on page 1 as well.
0-2 Star Players: Star Players are the heroes of the Blood Bowl arena, the most resourceful and talented players in the sport. Each Star Player has his own set of special skills and each is an individual, standing out from the rest of the players in the league by virtue of the unique set of skills and talents that they possess (see pages 51 to 52 for Star Player stats and skills). Star players act as free agents playing single matches for any team that can afford their high fees (and that they are willing to assist in the first place), and then moving on to play for another team. You may hire up to two Star Players that are allowed to play for your team. Unless your league commissioner decides otherwise, deaths and serious injuries inflicted on Star Players are waived after the match. Star Players may not take the number of players in the team to more than 16. However, players that are missing the game due to injury do not count towards the number of players on the team, so you can use Star Players to replace players that are missing a game if you wish. It is possible (though unlikely) for both teams to induce the same Star Player. If this happens then neither may use him and he keeps both sets of hiring fees!
Star Players can never earn Star Player points other than the MVP for the game. Star Player can never gain new skills. Finally purchased/induced Apothecaries or an Igor may not be used on Star Players ever. Star Players employ their own personal trainers and apothecaries who travel with them to heal them from almost any injury (including death) and to get in shape for their next match and will not use your team's amateur physicians.
They are inducements ... so like all inducements ... they only last one game.

Thanks again, Galak.
Now I just feel thick.
