  • The Use of Salary Caps in Professional Team Sports and the Restraint of Trade Doctrine
    The Use of Salary Caps in Professional Team Sports and the Restraint of Trade Doctrine Chris Davies' A salary cap system is presently used by both the AFL and NRL with the stated objective of creating a more even competition. Although the salary cap can be viewed as creating a situation where players are being deliberately underpaid, the author argues that there is overall benefit, even to the players, in having a salary cap in operation. Such benefit includes a more even competition, which then provides for a more stable financial situation for the league and the players, and a more interesting competition for the spectators. The author therefore argues that, after applying the Nordenfelt test, salary caps in professional team sports do represent a reasonable restraint of trade. It is also suggested that the principles of contract law play an important role in protecting the rights of the players. Introduction The salary caps implemented by both the Australian Football League (AFL) and the National Rugby League (NRL) were the subject of much publicity during the later half of 2002 when systematic breaches of the system were uncovered in both codes. Large fines and the loss of either draft selections or competition points were the harsh penalties that were subsequently handed out by the respective governing bodies. What has also made headlines in the AFL has been the number of clubs who hav~been forced to trade big name players in the last few years, including players still under contract, in order to remain under the salary cap. I Other players meanwhile agreed to take pay cuts from their existing contracts to help ensure their club remained within the salary cap.2 A question then arises as to whether this forced trading of players and the taking of pay cuts means that a salary cap system represents an unreasonable restraint of trade.
