A full Names on the Shirt board collects the sum of its numbered spots times the configured price multiplier. At a multiplier of 1, a full 50-spot shirt totals 1,275 currency units before fees and expenses. This is mathematical capacity, not a forecast or the team's net profit.

## How is the full-shirt total calculated?

For N spots and multiplier P, the full amount is N times (N + 1) divided by 2, multiplied by P. With 30 spots at multiplier 1 it is 465; 40 spots is 820; 50 spots is 1,275. Multiplier 2 doubles those totals.

In an NZD campaign, the 50-spot example is NZ$1,275. In an AUD campaign it is A$1,275. Check your actual campaign currency and fee treatment before advertising an amount.



## What if only some spots are claimed?

Add the prices of the paid spots actually taken. For example, spots 5, 10 and 20 at multiplier 1 contribute 35 currency units before costs. Three claims do not imply three times the average value of a full board.

A temporary held spot is not a paid contribution. Use the campaign payment records and confirmed print list when reporting what has been received.



## What would a team retain?

Illustration: one completely filled NZD 50-spot board at multiplier 1 produces NZ$1,275 before fees. If a club's garment and printing quote is NZ$75 for that shirt, NZ$1,200 remains before payment fees and other expenses. The NZ$75 is an invented example, not a supplier quote.

For a team, sum the actual paid claims on each player's board and deduct the agreed printing and garment invoices. Do not multiply the full-board figure by every player unless every board really is filled.

1. Confirm currency, spot count and multiplier.
2. Model partial participation as well as a full board.
3. Get a written garment and printing quote.
4. Check who covers card fees.
5. Reconcile actual paid claims and expenses before announcing the result.
