Attention all captains and teams…
We will no longer be able to be lenient in regards to the late payment of weekly dues. Teams who have their host locations send in dues, please be sure they are sending them in on time or you will lose your bonus points, and once they are lost, you cannot get them back (and they cost you the “perfect paperwork” bonus at the end of the session).
We have spent far too many hours/days chasing captains for late payments. We have ALWAYS tried to work with teams because we know “crap happens” but our kindness is being taken advantage of. The amount of times that we hear that “my card was compromised” or “my paypal/venmo was shut down” is crazy…there are 8 people on most teams and anyone can submit payments PLUS you are welcome to mail in a check, cash or money order.
Teammates, check to see if you have all your points! If you lose bonus points, 99.9% of the time it is due to late or missing payments so be sure to question your captains if points go missing.
Captains, if you have a player or players who aren’t paying you, DO NOT LET THEM PLAY! You should also email us to let us know the situation.
We have never followed through with it before, but our bylaws state that any team that loses 3 bonus points due to late/missing payments, must choose a new captain. Should captains be repeat offenders, we WILL ask the team to choose a new captain. In addition, our bylaws state that we have the right to drop a team from the league for lack of payment…please do not make us exercise this right.
To repeat the rule, teams must pay their weekly dues the day following play. In the case of a captain with multiple teams, they are permitted to send in one payment, the day following their final day of play for the week. For example, if “Bobby Sue” is the captain of a Sunday 9 ball team and a Wednesday 8 ball team, she may send in her $80, for both teams, no later than Thursday in order to retain her bonus points for both teams. Teams are automatically awarded bonus points upon scoring of the match, we DEDUCT them if payment is not received on time.
We are sorry that we need to take such a heard stance, but it is not fair to all of the teams who DO pay on time!
