Haha well let me know when you make it ;)

Total: $ 503 491

And that's with crappy attendance in my last league game. $500k is not the cap.

I was talking about Australian div 2. Not all div 2. You get a higher cap due to higher tv contract and possibly higher merchandising as well.

merchandise depends on the structure of the team,not by their nationality.If you have a team full of strong australian players and of national players of medium-big countrie,you can have an higher merchandise than a big country team.

Teams in american div 2 (as far as I know) are stronger than teams in Australian div 2. Higher quality players means higher merchandise right? So, assuming a similar number of local players, american div 2 has a higher merchandise on average than Australian div 2.

Higher quality players means higher merchandise right?

No,that is Tv contract

From the rules:

Merchandising income comes from your fans buying team apparel. Jersey sales are affected by a combination of factors. One factor is whether you have a winning team. Nobody likes to wear the jersey when you're losing, do they? Other factors include how many domestic players you have on your team, and also how many were drafted by your own team, as fans like supporting local players more than imported talent. This is weighted by the overall skill of the local players, so stocking your team with local bench warmers won't do you much good. Similarly, fans from around the country are particularly enthusiastic supporters of members of their national teams, and even more so when their national team is a successful one. So, if in a given week your player played in a national team game, fans from around the country will buy their jersey, typically in a quantity proportional to their salary. National team jersey sales will vary depending on the strength of the national team, but players playing in their domestic league tend to sell considerably more national team merchandise. Finally, fans from around the league tend to notice the league leaders, particularly in important categories such as points, rebounds, and assists but to some extent in all categories. If your team has players among the league leaders, you will see a bump in jersey sales from fans of other teams in your league, with an additional bump for the most eye-popping numbers in your country or in all of BuzzerBeater.

There are a lot of factors that counts in merchandising,and the fact of being in a stronger country and in a more competitive league make difficult to have some of this factors,and make easier to have others factors

And the TV contract is loosely based on the strength of the players on the teams in the league (I can't find anything in the Manual on this, so I'm just going off my recollection here). But you control your own merchandising revenue, to a fair extent. And your arena revenue.

imho in it is the opposite, when i am looking for new players i nearly always find intresting german player on the TL - i didn't try this with one from Malta but i am pretty sure it is nearly impossible to find a local player who fits your desired - because a competive league mostly have weaker leagues under it who create player for the stronger leagues.

PS: you also only play against teams of your own country, so it is equal for the competition where it is easier becaus nobody gets an advantage over another player.

In my experience, better players bring in more merchandise. So american div 2 teams that would probably have stronger teams than australian div 2 would get higher merchandise. Arena income is about the same possibly for both america and Australia in div 2, however american teams in div 2 probably get more arena income as well because they are better teams and so have better world rankings and so get more attendance (at least that's what I have noticed).

So, I think the cap for australian div 2 is around 500k (possibly a bit higher but not much higher).
And the cap for american div 2 is higher than that.

It's easier to have NT players in malta than in Germany,and it's easier to have many players among the league leaders(both league and country),and it's easier to train your own trainees,as you can train weaker players because the competition is poorer.As is much more difficult to find national players on the market,and have them with an high level,and if you have a German Nt player you will have a greater increase in merchandising than with a malta NT player
And one factor is the record in their own league

I was only answering to Naker Virus phrase,he was talking about the difference in the various countries

Merchandise change team by team because of the various conditions,so it's wrong to say that a team of american II division surely has a merchandising higher than the Australian II division,as it's wrong to say the contrary...because some teams of german II division will have higher merchandising than some teams of australian II division,and other teams of asutralian II division will have higher merchandise than teams of german II division

There's a thread open in BBglobal with numbers that say that,if naker want to say another thing he has to find some test

So, I think the cap for australian div 2 is around 500k (possibly a bit higher but not much higher).
And the cap for american div 2 is higher than that.

Yes,for sure,because of the Tv contract.
But please read the thread in BBGlobal about merchandise,and my answer to Crazy-Eye in this thread above this message
