Fair Play Clause
Leagues rank broadcasters by how fans were served, then write it into contracts.
The job
Gives a league or federation a table, by broadcaster and territory, of how fans were served: buffering, blackouts, not knowing whether a match is on, commentary, price and access. Service terms can then be written into rights contracts, enforced and rewarded.
The moment
Before a rights contract is renewed, the league's media director shares one page ranking broadcasters by how well fans were served.
Going by fans' own words, one broadcaster's coverage buffered through 31% of last season's derbies. Another's buffered through 6%.
The new contract adds a service clause. Next season the first broadcaster climbs out of the relegation zone at 7%.
On awards night the second broadcaster is named Broadcaster of the Season, with fans' quotes on the certificate.
