Which types of payments can be classified as OATSB?

Guaranteed offseason roster bonuses, reporting bonuses, and workout bonuses can be classified as Other Athletic Team Salary Bonuses (OATSB) because they are defined as specific payments that a player earns based on participation or availability in certain activities outside of their basic salary structure. These types of bonuses are typically included in player contracts to reward athletes for fulfilling specific commitments that benefit the team, such as being present during the offseason or completing workouts.

In contrast, guaranteed match bonuses and incentive payments involve conditions that must be met based on performance metrics or achievements, which categorize them differently than OATSB. Guaranteed annual salary adjustments pertain to changes made to a player's base salary rather than special bonuses linked to specific activities. Lastly, performance-based incentives and game checks are directly related to the player’s on-field performance and game participation, distinguishing them from the conditional nature of OATSB.
