A VISUAL ANALYSIS OF THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN TEAM FINANCES, SALARY CAPS, AND COMPETITIVE BALANCE IN SPORTS LEAGUES Presentation uri icon

Description

  • Competitive balance among teams within a sports league is considered important as it keeps players and fans engaged every season. Various policies like salary caps, revenue sharing, drafts, and player free agency have been instituted in North American sports leagues to encourage parity among teams. Most European sports leagues, however, have not established such measures, leading to the dominance of a few teams. In this paper, we use data visualization and storytelling techniques to examine the relationships between competitive balance, team success, and team finances across multiple North American and European sports leagues.
