Minimum Team Salary Question

Larry Coon wrote:At the other end of the spectrum there is a minimum team salary, which is defined as 75% of the salary cap. Any team that doesn't spend at least that much is surcharged at the end of the season, and that money is given to the players. In practice, most teams' salaries will be higher than the salary cap amount.


May seem like a stupid question....

But which players? Is it divided up between the players currently rostered on that team? Or is it prorated and given out league-wide?

League-Wide. Anytime you see Money like this being talked about (like Luxury Tax money, or this, or other types), it's distributed League Wide.

Btw, congrats on the double-Jump. You were the 1st in our Alliance to do so I believe. :)

The money is actually disbursed only to the players on the team. The details can be found in Art VII, Sec 2(b)(2).
