If all teams played according to their initial predictions then by the mid of the round robin matches we would have 4 clear winner and 4 clear loser ie we would know which teams are going to the semis and which are not. This would make the remaining of the match uninteresting and the teams would lose the valuable ad revenue as people would stop watching subsequent matches. All teams know that their is more money in playing high TRP matches then winning the IPL.

The players must have signed the contract before playing in IPL.
And why you are getting upset? You do not have to pay it. Its Tendulkar has to pay as per rules. This a meagre 18 lacs out of Tendulkar's earning around 10 Crore from IPL-3.
