Tournament rules[edit]

There are five ways that a franchise can acquire a player: In the annual auction, signing domestic

players, signing uncapped players, through trading, and signing replacements.[23][24]In the trading

window, the player can only be traded with his consent. The franchise will have to pay the

difference between the old contract price and the new contract price. If the new contract is worth

more than the older one, then the difference will be shared between the player and the franchise

selling the player.[25][26]

Some of the team composition rules are:

A minimum squad strength of 16 players plus one physiotherapist and a coach.

No more than 11 foreign players in the squad and maximum of four foreign players should be

in the playing eleven.

A minimum of 14 Indian players must be included in each squad.

A minimum of six players from the BCCI under-22 pool in each squad.

IPL games utilisetelevision timeouts,hence there is no time limit for teams to complete their

innings. However, there may be a penalty if theumpiresfind teams misusing this privilege at their

own choice. Additionally, each team is given a two-and-a-half-minute "strategic timeout" during

each innings; one must be taken by the bowling team between the 6th to 10th overs, and the

batting team between the 11th to 16th overs.[27]

The total spending cap for a franchise in the first player auction was US$5 million. Under-22

players are to be remunerated with a minimum annual salary of US$20,000 while for others it is

US$50,000.

[30]

Ticket sales money/gate receipts[edit]

5/19/2018 Indian Premier League

11/16

Almost 80% of the tickets are sold by franchises themselves while other 20% is for IPL governing

body.[citation needed]Tickets sales/gate receipts are large proportion of an IPL franchise's yearly

revenue.

Sponsorships[edit]

India's biggest property developerDLF Grouppaid2.50 billion (around US$50 million) to be the

title sponsor of the tournament for 5 years from 2008 to 2012.[31]From 2013 season, the American

food and beverage companyPepsiCotook over title sponsorship for five years valued

at3968 million, and also exclusive beverage supplier for the IPL teams in the 2013 season.[32][33]

The IPL is expected to bring the BCCI an income of approximately US$1.6 billion, over a period of

five to ten years. All of these revenues are directed to a central pool, 40% of which will go to IPL

itself, 54% to franchises and 6% as prize money. The money will be distributed in these

proportions until 2017, after which the share of IPL will be 50%, franchises 45% and prize money

5%. The IPL signed upKingfisher Airlinesas the official umpire partner for the series in a 1.06

billion (US$18 million) (approximately 15 million) deal. This deal sees the McDowells No.1 brand

on all umpires' uniforms and also on the giant screens duringthird umpiredecisions.[34]

Other sponsorships include, a deal withHero Hondaworth $22.5 million, withPepsiCoworth

$12.5 million, and a deal withKingfisherat $26.5 million.[35]

Television rights[edit]

On 17 January 2008 it was announced that a consortium consisting of India'sSony Entertainment

Television(Set Max)network and Singapore-basedWorld Sport Groupsecured the global

broadcasting rights of the Indian Premier League.[36]The record deal has a duration of ten years at

a cost of US$1.026 billion. As part of the deal, the consortium will pay the BCCI US$918 million for

the television broadcast rights and US$108 million for the promotion of the tournament.[37]This

deal was challenged in the Bombay High Court by IPL, and got the ruling on its side.

After losing the battle in court, Sony Entertainment Television signed a new contract with BCCI

with Sony Entertainment Television paying 87 billion (US$1.5 billion) for 10 years. One of the

reasons for payment of this huge amount is seen as the money required to subsidise IPL's move

to South Africa which will be substantially more than the previous IPL. IPL had agreed to subsidise

the difference in operating cost between India and South Africa as it decided to move to the

African nation after the security concerns raised because of its coincidence with India's general

elections.

20% of these proceeds would go to IPL, 8% as prize money and 72% would be distributed to the

franchisees. The money would be distributed in these proportions until 2012, after which the IPL

would go public and list its shares (But in March 2010, IPL decided not to go public).[38]
