How is salary forfeiture calculated?

Salary forfeiture is typically calculated as proportionate to games missed due to a specific breach of contract. This approach ensures that the financial penalty aligns directly with the player's actions that led to the forfeiture. If a player is suspended or fails to fulfill their obligations resulting in missed games, the forfeiture directly reflects the impact of those missed games on the team's performance and the contractual agreement.

This method of calculation serves to enforce accountability among players, encouraging them to adhere to the terms stipulated in their contracts. It effectively correlates the consequences of a breach with the actual duration of the player's ineligibility to participate in games. Therefore, the focus is on the time lost rather than a flat rate or a percentage of the overall contract, making it a more precise and fair system for managing breaches.
