Salary Cap Regulations

Salary cap regulations are rules that limit the total amount of money a sports team can spend on player salaries within a season. They help maintain competitive balance by preventing wealthier teams from hoarding all top talent. The cap is usually a fixed dollar amount set before the season starts, and teams must manage their rosters to stay within this limit. Exceptions and special rules may apply, but overall, the cap promotes fairness and financial sustainability across the league.
