Is anyone able to let me know what the merchandise and tv money for this division is?

Merchandise will depend on your team and how many Aussie players you have (and what level), every team is different. Last season we were getting $130k in tv money, salary floor is the same. Not sure how it will change this season.

My merchandising peaked at $55k last season.

last few weeks its been high $30's, which..... actually that sucks! i didnt notice that, although it does explain my income drop. hmm. surprising. might have to have a look at that.

anwyays, gives you an idea.

My merch went up from mid 30's to mid 50's after I started tanking. Leads me to believe it is mostly about ratio of aussie to non-aussie players with special bumps for national team players etc?

Something like that.

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.

Player Salaries Floor: $ 129 620

That will be new amount as it is 1:1 ratio in div 2.

Oooooo

All you big men. Very scary! :(

I think I need a pipe to calm me down. Hi! :P

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.
