How much can a Names on the Shirt fundraiser collect?

Reviewed . Read as Markdown

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.
