never understood the payout in the TBT. don't "fans" get a share of the winnings somehow?
Not sure that any regular fans receive a cut, but there are Boosters who can associate with a team and be eligible for a cut.
Each Team shall be initially composed of “Participants.” A “Participant” is defined as either (i) an individual who applies on the Website and has been accepted by Producer to participate in the Tournament, or (ii) a person designated in a roster submitted by a Charity (as defined below). A Participant may be a “Player,” a General Manager (“GM”), a “Coach,” a “Booster,” or other roles as defined on Producer’s website.
a. Player – A Player is someone who is on a Team’s roster of individuals
available to play in the basketball games in the Tournament.
b. GM – There must be one GM per Team. The GM is the individual who registers a Team with the Producer and who oversees all aspects of the Team, including, without limitation, recruiting Players, communicating with Producer, managing the roster, and otherwise handling the team’s application to play and participation in the Tournament.
c. Coach – A Team may have one or more Coaches, or may elect not to have a Coach.
d. Booster – A Team may have one or more Boosters, or may elect not to have a Booster. A Booster is someone a Team believes will assist the Team in gaining entry to the Tournament, soliciting Fan support or will help the Team in some other way off-the-court.
e. Other – A team may have one or more individuals in other roles. An individual in any non-specifically defined role is anyone who does not fit one of the role descriptions immediately above.
