- Foreign student issue
On July 1, the new league preparation committee announced that foreign students will no longer be eligible for the draft due to foreign students' roster spots, which were originally available in P. League+ rule but not in T1 League.[2] This decision made the 8 foreign students who had already applied for the draft made a joint statement on July 2 to protest for their right.[16] The committee claimed that all 11 teams from P. League+ and T1 League had agreed the elimination of the foreign students' roster spots, but was later denied by Taipei Fubon Braves and Kaohsiung 17LIVE Steelers.[17][18][19] On July 3, the committee said that they will rediscuss the supplementary measures and whether foreign students can join the draft.[20][21] On July 11, the TPBL kept the decision to exclude foreign student from the draft but allowed teams currently without foreign students could sign one foreign student as a reserved import player.[7]
