THE FUTURE OF THE NBL: REVIEWING THE PLAYER POINTS SYSTEM AND THE OVERALL SUSTAINABILITY OF THE LEAGUE

THE FUTURE OF THE NBL: REVIEWING THE PLAYER POINTS SYSTEM AND THE OVERALL SUSTAINABILITY OF THE LEAGUE

This article reviews and responds to the analysis completed by Jacob Holmes in the primary article ‘Professional Sport and Market Restrictions: Is the Player Points System in the Australian National Basketball League an Unfair Restraint of Trade?’. It adopts the position that until such time as the NBL is able to sustain its current format and competition, no change should be made. It also argues that it is unlikely that the courts will in fact hold that the NBL’s Player Points System does amount to a restraint of trade, given its reasonable nature and overall objectives of developing an equal and level playing field for the entire sport.
