TEBA League Salary Cap, Luxury Tax & Payment Policy

1. Salary Cap (Per Game Pay)

• First Round Draft Picks:
  1,100 – 2,500 baht per game
• Second Round Draft Picks:
  650 – 1,000 baht per game

2. Weekly Player Payment Requirement

• All player payments must be made on a weekly basis, prior to each game.
• If a team carries an outstanding balance owed to any player or coach, those individuals will not be permitted to participate in the upcoming game.
• Failure to comply with weekly payment obligations may result in further sanctions.

3. Luxury Tax for Exceeding Salary Cap

• If a team chooses to pay a player above the designated per-game salary cap, they will incur a luxury tax of $100 USD per game for each player exceeding the cap.
• The luxury tax will be assessed per game and per player.

4. Nefarious Salary Cap Violations

• Teams found guilty of deliberately circumventing the salary cap (e.g., under-the-table payments, off-record bonuses, or secret transfers) will face severe penalties, including:
  • A $1,000 USD fine
  • Immediate disqualification from playoff contention for the current season
  • Loss of one (1) first-round draft pick for the following season

5. Bonus Structure

• Bonuses must be clearly stated in a player’s contract.
• Only performance-based bonuses are allowed (e.g., Player of the Game, scoring milestones, win bonuses).
• Bonuses may not be used to bypass the salary cap.

6. Contract Transparency

• All payments—base salary and bonuses—must be fully disclosed and documented in the player’s signed contract.
• Contracts that do not adhere to these guidelines may be ruled invalid, and the player may be deemed ineligible to play.
