my merch peaked in div 3 at around 47k..im hoping its more than that this season

but i had a pretty good run last season, didn't lose any games, i think that was the biggest contributing factor for me.
I just saw in our economy page that tv money is 116k.Darn i was hoping it would be more than that

last season tv revenue $130,798 all season. Im assuming it will be that or thereabouts this season.

your economy page might not have updated yet. or might still be reflected your last week's average or some fo'shizzle like that. My roster salaries literally just updated before my very eyes just now, so off-season processing is still very much happening as we speak.

after you said this i did a little bit of digging. I had the same level PM manager all year. And a fairly stagnent lineup. here is my merchanidise stats for last season with activities associated with it.
2/13/2012 Weekly Merchandise profit $ 50 079 Won 1 game
2/20/2012 Weekly Merchandise profit $ 55 098 1W, 2L (cup game)
2/27/2012 Weekly Merchandise profit $ 51 078 - Bought a new player from overseason in this week. 2L
3/5/2012 Weekly Merchandise profit $ 51 531 - Sold an aussie player here. Note - Id drafted him and had him since season 11! 2Wins
3/12/2012 Weekly Merchandise profit $ 50 609 - 2W
3/19/2012 Weekly Merchandise profit $ 50 572 - 1w, 1L
3/26/2012 Weekly Merchandise profit $ 48 603 - 1W, 1L
4/2/2012 Weekly Merchandise profit $ 47 703 - 1L (All star week. had one guy in all-star team)
4/9/2012 Weekly Merchandise profit $ 45 511 - etc
4/16/2012 Weekly Merchandise profit $ 46 101 On average, 1W, 1L for rest of season.
4/23/2012 Weekly Merchandise profit $ 46 791
4/30/2012 Weekly Merchandise profit $ 39 184
5/7/2012 Weekly Merchandise profit $ 36 955 Playoffs! lost that game.
5/14/2012 Weekly Merchandise profit $ 37 791 - no games this week.

Thought it was an interesting exercise to have a look at this. As you can see, my merchandising was clearly influenced by me selling my aussie draftee... But it wasnt influenced straight away, it was a very gradual decline over the season. There was one week, the week of the 23rd of April, where mechandising went up (oh and again last week). So i wonder, if its related to number of minutes that players play in the week as well? Suppose that would make sense.
anwyays... food for thought!

I thought it would be interesting to contrast your merchandising with mine. You would think mine would be sky high for a number of reasons but I suspect it was also punished by my tanking ABBL season.

Why it should be high:
Australian players were my starting PG, PF and C as well as my backup PG, SG, PF and C for most of the season.
My backup PG Oliver was an original team player.
Starting PF Lawrance is a NT player who should give me a major boost.
Made it to the top 8 in the Cup.
Had a 20-2 record and won all playoff games.

Reasons for it being low:
Tanking ABBL season.
Only one draft pick played and even he didn't play much.

As you can see there were some massive jumps and falls and I can't give any specific reasons for them.

Actually for the national team, your player have to play minutes to get a merchandise boost. The more minutes the better. It helps even more if Australia is successful and highly ranked. Our rank steadily climbed during the Asian championships so hopefully more merchandise boost in the world cup.

Lawrance was not on national team before 2/13/2012 - Played 0 min - $55 593
Lawrance was not on national team before 2/20/2012 - Played 0 min - $47 904
Lawrance played against Macau before 2/27/2012 - Played 17 min - $66 859
Lawrance played against Japan before 3/5/2012 - Played 37 min - $68 505
Lawrance didn't play against Uruguay (Scrimmage) before 3/12/2012 - Played 0 min - $54 612

Lawrance played against China (F) before 5/21/2012 - Played 8 min - $?????

I think you get the picture. I'm sure you will get a little merchandise boost this week.

Lawrance with proficient gameshape = Playing time with national = Merchandise boost :)

From my experience, merchandise is based on this:

What proportion of Aussies you got on your squad? (I believe this is base on salary/skills of players)
-The more the better merchandise. So you can't fill your team with scrub Aussies. Let say you have 1 Aussie with a salary of 150k out of 250k total salaries, you should receive more merchandise than 3 Aussies with a total of 50k salary.

What proportion of total minutes your Aussies play during the week? (I think it's league only, don't know if cup or scrimmages have any influence)
-The more minutes the better merchandise.

Did your "actual draftee" get minutes?
-Yes, your draftee give you more merchandise than non-draftees but I don't know how much difference.

Do you have a national or U21 player and did they play during the week?
-If yes, then you will have more merchandise. If the country is a top ranked and is a winning country then you receive more merchandise.

Is your national or U21 player an Australian?
-If yes, then you will receive even more since domestic national players give more merchandise than foreign national players.

How successful is your team? (I think this is fan survey based)
-The more successful in the league the more merchandise.

Are any of your players in the top categories such as leading the points, rebounds, assists? (Don't know how highly ranked they have to be though, could be top 10 or just 1st)
-If yes, more merchandise.

An interesting final question, what level is your PR manager?
-It actually doesn't matter. PR manager makes little difference to merchandise. I've tested a level 1 against a level 5 and I receive pretty much similar merchandise, maybe a slight boost in level 5 however the salary I had to pay greatly outweighed the extra income I gained from merchandise.
-Although, PR manager increases the number of people attending your arena. So if you are a winning team, then a high PR manager is not useful since you will more likely fill out that arena.

On another note I am a little disappointed that the tantrums seem unwilling to start a press release war with me.

Mine has gone down since Gab Wall is no longer U21 NT.
Hopefully soon he will make the NT and it'll go back up.
