Original figures retain their period, scope and source. Financial records below keep their own legal entity and accounting basis.
No common activity or supporter counts have been collected for this subject yet. The financial and sporting evidence below remains available.
Missing is not zero. Some metrics may not apply to a research category or federation. Organization financial figures are documented separately below.

The headline counts participation, not revenue, prize awards or athlete income. Individual compensation is not verified by this source.
ATHLETE ECONOMICS
The headline counts participation, not revenue, prize awards or athlete income. Individual compensation is not verified by this source.
This dated measure belongs to Beer City Cup. It is not an estimate of the whole independent sports market. Prize awards, team entries and player fields have different units and cannot be added together.
We examine entry and exit rules, who owns and licenses an athlete’s name, image and likeness (NIL), and how income reaches the athlete.
Athletes can enter through sporting ability without federation control over entry, exit or outside earning opportunities, while retaining control of their name, image and likeness (NIL). Event rules, safety standards and selection can still apply.
Participation in a federation-governed system is conditional on compliance with that governing body’s bylaws and regulations. Registration and eligibility determine who can compete; transfer and contract rules govern movement, with financial and commercial conditions set by the system.
OPEN / CLOSED are NTG research classifications, not legal statuses. Selection alone does not make a system closed. Independence alone does not prove openness. An event media licence is not automatically a transfer of all NIL rights.
LIFECYCLE & GROWTH
Explore published amounts and organizational growth by year. Select a measure and a year to inspect its source. Exact comparable observations also support an index starting at 100 and years since launch.
Published values are shown first. Each series retains its metric, legal entity, reporting period and source. Calendar age is shown separately in the evidence table.

Nashville editions only: 72 team entries in 2024 and 92 in 2025. These are entries per edition, not unique clubs or the total across all Beer City Cup cities.
Index = 100 × current value ÷ baseline. Annualized change = 100 × [(last ÷ first)^(1 ÷ elapsed years) − 1]. Calendar age = observation year − launch year; launch year is 0. At least two elapsed annual intervals are required here for annualized change.
Prizes, transfers, business revenue, programs and teams remain different measures. Only exact comparable observations are indexed or used for growth calculations. Published estimates and forecasts retain their labels; + amounts are lower thresholds. Missing years remain unobserved and no values are interpolated.
For the same 2023–2025 window: TST prize growth is +41.4% annualized; FIFA-reported transfer fees +16.4%. These are different financial flows, not a performance ranking.
