Right. I doubt the BB's are going to give away much info since they rarely do. My opinion is that the merchandise money will be calculated using several factors. Among these I believe will be statistics, nationality, membership in NT, minutes played, and skills. Mind you, I have no idea about this, but this is my educated guess. I do not know if cup games will be included but I doubt it because then your merch rev would drop dramatically once the cup is finished unless they reworked the formula which seems like a lot of work.
Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.
