 TML also had a much looser policy on international players, such as allowing a team to register eleven international players in the 1997 season, and seven in the 1998 season.Chiu annually leased the teams' logos and naming rights to different sponsors for advertising purposes, so every year each team would bear different name from different sponsors, while the home city and mascot remained the same.Also, players were sometimes shuffled after a season to "balance each teams' strength"; all TML players' were directly signed by the Naluwan Corporation and not the team they played for.
