Per-day offseason workout payments shall not be considered in determining “additional compensation” under Section 2 above, if such payments do not exceed the minimum level prescribed by Article 21.

If, however, the Player Contract provides for offseason workout payments above the minimum level, then the total of those payments shall be included in determining Additional Compensation.

If the Player Contract provides for offseason workout bonus payments on a basis other than a per-day payment at the minimum level prescribed by Article 21, such amounts shall count as Additional Compensation but will not affect the treatment of any offseason workout payments that do not exceed the minimum prescribed level. For example, without limitation on any other example, a player with a 2020 Player Contract that provides for a $10,000 bonus payable to the player for offseason workouts, in addition to the per-day minimum of $235 and no other Additional Compensation, has Additional Compensation of $10,000.

If a player receives from a single Club, under a series of contracts, offseason workout payments specified on a per-day basis that average more than the minimum level prescribed by Article 21, then all of the offseason workout payments paid on a perday basis shall count as Additional Compensation.

If a player is eligible to sign a Qualifying Contract with a New Club in accordance with Section 13 below, the full amount of any signing bonus payable to the player under any Player Contract that was executed in the same League Year as the proposed Qualifying Contract shall count against the Additional Compensation that can be earned by such player in accordance with Section 2 above. No other signing bonus amounts from contracts other than the Qualifying Contract shall count as Additional Compensation for such player.

If a player is eligible to sign a Qualifying Contract with his Old Club in accordance with Section 14 below, the circumstances in which signing bonus from a contract other than the Qualifying Contract may count against the Additional Compensation that can be earned by the player in accordance with Section 2 above, shall be determined exclusively under Section 14 below, the terms of which are not affected by Subsection 3(e) above.
