"After referring to professional basketball leagues in the United States and Japan, the organizing team of the T1 League decided to abandon the corporate system and adopt the "association system" as the main body of operation, with each team paying an annual service fee and raising its team operating expenses, thus minimizing the conflict of interest between the league and the teams, and with the league's mission of providing services for the teams to assist them in maximizing their commercial value.

Same as P. LEAGUE+, the team adopts the home and away system. To join the team, you need to submit a home game management plan and explain how to localize the team's marketing operations, as well as pay for the team's personnel management, financial planning, and long-term business planning.

Including the SBL, P. LEAGUE+, and the newly established "T1 League", Taiwan professional basketball is expected to have more than 10 professional basketball teams in the future, giving players and fans more choices, and creating a wave of professional basketball competition, and the next wave of basketball in Taiwan will soon be at its peak.
