Restraints of Trade in Sport: an International and South African Perspective Restraints of Trade in Sport: An International and South African Perspective Christoph Kolonko A minithesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Law in the Department of Law, University of the Western Cape Supervisor: Ms. Patricia Lenaghan May 2006 Restraints of Trade in Sport: An International and South African Perspective Christoph Kolonko Keywords: • Restraint of Trade • Sport • Model of Sport • Europe • Pyramid Structure • Bosman • South Africa • Coetzee • Cronjé • USA • Collective Bargaining Abstract Restraints of Trade in Sport: An International and South African Perspective LL.M. minithesis, Department of Law, University of the Western Cape Christoph Kolonko The ongoing commercialisation of sport has generated new legal problems. One of eminent importance is the treatment of restraints of trade in the sport sector. Due to the increasing professionalism of sport and its growth into “big business” more athletes can afford to make a living from sport. Since sport has become their main source of income, they are no more willing to accept restrictions concerning the exercise of their professional activities, i.e. restraints of trade. As a consequence, they often decide to take legal action. The famous Bosman ruling of the European Court of Justice (ECJ), the judgment of the Cape High Court in the Coetzee case as well as the dispute about the reserve clause system in U.S. American sport exemplify this recent development. The application of the restraints of trade rule to the sport sector is highly complicated and controversial. Sport has some unique peculiarities which distinguish it from “normal” business. For once, the market conditions under which sport operates differ from other industries, since athletes and clubs have a vested interest in the strength and survival of their rivals. Furthermore, some rules, as the actual rules of the game, are inherent to sport and must not become subject to the courts. Therefore, courts are confronted with the difficult task to consider the peculiarities of sport and to separate the sporting aspects from the economic aspects of sports. Whereas U.S. courts already started to deal with the legal implications of restraints of trade in the sports sector about a century ago, the judging of restraints of trade in sport in Europe and South Africa is a rather recent development. Particularly in South Africa, the treatment of restraints of trade in sport is still little developed. Although some cases already dealt with restraints of trade in sport, South African courts in general do not have much experience with the issue. Hardly any guidelines have emerged that can already be seen as a South African sports policy. However, with South Africa’s economy growing, sport is going to be more and more commercialized and new legal issues related to restraints of trade will appear. The scope of the thesis is to develop guidelines and rules for the future dealing with restraints of trade in South African sport. These rules are developed from an analysis of the different legal approaches in Europe and the U.S.. The comparison of the legal situations against the background of the individual role of sports in Europe and the U.S. allows to demonstrate suitable ways of dealing with restraints of trade in the South African sport sector. Declaration I declare that “Restraints of Trade in Sport: An International and South African Perspective” is my own work, that it has not been submitted before for any degree or examination in any other university, and that all the sources I have used or quoted have been indicated and acknowledged as complete references.

European sports policies of the past decade are characterised by numerous activities and by on-going differentiation. Against this backdrop, the study presents policy options in four key areas: the first covers the need for stronger coordination; the second aims at the setting of thematic priorities; the third addresses the reinforcement of the role of the EP in sport and the fourth stipulates enhanced monitoring.

It also creates various job and business opportunities (e.g. engineers and developers, coaches and sport doctors, sport journalists and commentators, retailers of sports goods and equipment, etc.). It is also part of the increasingly important leisure industry and as such, has broader benefits such as boosting productivity, individual and community development as well as reducing the burden of ill health on society. Additionally, it has far reaching implications on the global economy due to its close association with other sectors including education, real estate and tourism. Sports is ranked among the top mainstream activities in the economy. Value of the sports industry globally Using economic impact methodology, which are largely developed around the estimated number of spectators visiting an event from outside the local region, and the amount those visitors spend on accommodation, food and entertainment etc; the estimated size of the global sports industry was US$1.3 trillion in 2015 according to Plunkett Research Ltd. A study in 2014 by A.T. Kearney, found that the market for sports events (i.e. revenues for tickets, media rights and sponsorship) is worth close to US$80 billion.

  • Strategies in Fantasy NBA Basketball
    Jiachun Lu Stat 157 Angela Zhang Course Project Strategies in Fantasy NBA Basketball For this project, we will discuss a popular game among basketball fans, Fantasy NBA Basketball, and analyze various statistical related strategies applicable to the game. The strategies will involve different stages of the game play, such as drafting players, selection of free agents, as well as trading players. We will use a more efficient drafting strategies based on a model that we refer to as efficient points rather than the commonly used “O-Rank”. We will also use expected values and variances of the players’ statistics decide how to either pick or trade free agents during the season. Our final goal is to use these techniques to optimize team performance in order to win the league. Fantasy Basketball is essentially a free online game that allows players to manage their own team of NBA players upon creating an account. There are two types of major leagues, Rotisserie League and Head to Head League. For rotisserie League, there are several statistical categories such as rebounds, assists, or free throws that fantasy basketball teams are ranked on. Usually, ranks in each statistical category are then converted to corresponding points and are totaled to determine an overall score for the team. The team with the highest score naturally becomes the winner. On the other hand, in a head to head league, different fantasy teams created by different managers square off in a weekly match against each other to see which manager can compile the highest points in each of the different categories.
