Explanation:
- Tier 1 (MLSP): As the top league, T1 has the most stringent FFP rules, with 60% of income calculated for financial fair play and a potential fine of $2M for violations.
- Tier 2: The regulations are slightly lighter than Tier 1, with a 50% income calculation and a fine of $1.5M for violations.
- Tier 3: Similar to Tier 2 but with slightly lower thresholds and a lower fine. Points deduction and transfer embargo are still in place.
- Tier 4 and Tier 5: These leagues have softer regulations, with a smaller percentage of income used for FFP and lower fines for violations.
- Tier 6 and Tier 7: Semi-pro leagues still enforce FFP but at a much lighter level. The focus shifts to youth development with lighter penalties and lower fines.
- Tier 8 and below: Development and amateur leagues have minimal or no FFP rules. The focus here is on player development rather than strict financial regulation.
