An executive decision has been made to use LeagueSafe to handle all of our finances for this season. To access the league's payment page, click the link below. Please go ahead and register there ASAP. You aren't required to pay up when you register to the league.

League ID: 760403
Password: williemayshayes

Entry Fee: $25.00 (plus $0.75 transaction fee)
Due Date: April 18, 2011

The transaction fee was necessary to make credit/debit cards an option to pay. I figure 75 cents is worth the extra convenience of paying that way as well as the extra security of having all our funds managed in one secure location.

In addition to the April 18 deadline, there will be a $10 late fee that goes into the league pot if you don't pay on time. That's in addition to the $10 late fee LeagueSafe is gonna ding you, too. So you can pay $25.75 anytime before mid-April or pay $45 after. 75 days is plenty of time to dig up a few bucks.

From the old league rules:
- Owners may not participate in Minor League Draft until payment is received.
- Payment due by July 1st to be eligible for regular season payout.
- Payment due Aug 1st to be eligible for playoff payouts.
- Failure to pay will be grounds for dismissal.

When the season is over, League Safe will prompt me to send the payouts via prepaid VISA cards. Simple and easy.

If anyone has a problem with this, you may kindly go fuck yourself, PM me.

Do we have any further information on the 2010 payouts?

[DevSop]

Paid for 2011.

[Jack Quinn]

Paid

[Mikey]

Okay... what IS our status on 2010 payouts?

I know Dev paid 2009 out of his own pocket. Beyond that, what the hell?

[Pun]

I thought he paid 2010 out of his pocket?

[Jack Quinn]

yeah Lucky disappeared with the 2010 money, he has been basically MIA since August of 2010 (at least on OO) I know he was gone longer than that in FLB

[DevSop]

No...Lucky disappeared with the 2009 money. I used the 2010 money to pay for 2009, with some of it coming out of my own pocket. If I was to pay for 2010 now it would be completely out of my own pocket, which I would do if I had a job at the moment just to get everything settled. As soon as I get the job, I'll pay.

[Jack Quinn]

look guys, I think at some point we just have to write off a year and concede that Lucky fucked us royally. There is no reason for anyone to have to pay winnings out of their pocket......except Lucky. Start over with a clean slate this year and just remember to punch Lucky in the head if we ever see him.

Yeah, that's basically the deal.

I am marking myself and Gimmick as having paid up, theoretically taking those payments out of our 2010 winnings. This way we have til the end of the season to solve the 2009-10 fiasco and at least reach a good settling point.

Going forward, it'll be the same basic setup as we've done before. 1st place gets half the pot, 2nd gets 25%, 3rd gets next year paid for, and the regular season champ gets what's left. This is usually a 150-75-25-50 breakdown, but it may get slightly tweaked depending on the end result of the 2010 junk.

So as of right now, the following people are owed by the league:

Gimmick: $150 for winning 2010 minus $25 entry for 2011 = $125 owed

Mikey: $75 for 2nd place in 2010 plus $50 for reg, season title in 2010 minus $25 entry for 2011 = $100 owed

Solly: $25 for 3rd place in 2010 (paid 2011 out of pocket) = $25 owed

TOTAL OF $250 TO TAKE OUT OF LUCKY'S ASS

Plus whatever came out of Dev's pocket for the 2009 stuff.

[DevSop]

Mikey, I wouldn't take 2010's issues into 2011. Let's start this year with everyone at $0 and handle that going forward. Once the time comes that either Lucky ever gets back to me or I figure something else out to handle 2010 that will be what it is.

Everyone pays for 2011. Everyone gets paid for 2011.

2010 will be handled...I promise.

[Attitude Adjuster]

I'm with Dev. Let's just start fresh. I might think differently were I one of the ones getting screwed out of a payment, but that's how I feel right now. We got screwed. Let's get over it. The LeagueSafe will prevent it from ever happening again.

BTW, Mikey, is everyone paid for 2011?

[Army Dice Clay]

I am one of the people who go screwed from $2009. I'm out $75 from that. Let's just move the on. In the extremely off chance I were to ever run into Lucky, I promise you I would scare it out of him. I vote on clean slate and driving forward.

When I logged in, I saw 12 teams listed, so it looks like everyone is paid. I don't think I remember seeing all 12 teams when I paid last month.

[Lou]

I paid this morning. My laziness cost me $10.

[Attitude Adjuster]

I really like LeagueSafe now. This is the first time we've had everyone paid before May 1, even with all the internal threats. It seems an external threat that you can't reason with is the way to go.

BTW, Minor league draft starts Sunday.

Executive decision here. We had a pot of $250 since Gimmick and I played on the house this year.

1st Place: Solly gets $140
2nd Place: AA gets $60
3rd Place/RS: Gimmick gets $50

Gimmick, Mikey, and Solly are still technically owed money for 2010. This will NOT be taken into account going forward. Clean slate financially starting in 2012.

[Mikey]

And as I just allocated payouts, Gimmick's screwed up and only paid him half. There's a $25 balance still on the league, and I am attempting to figure out how to complete the payout.

Winners, check your emails.

[Pun]

My mom says I'm a winner.

[Sparty]

Step 1: Find Lucky
Step 2: Draw and quarter him
Step 3: Profit

Agreed.

Also, LeagueSafe should've fixed the hiccup on your end, Gimmick.

[Attitude Adjuster]

LeagueSafe has my whole-hearted endorsement. Everyone paid on time, and the winners were paid the day after the season ended. This is awesome!

In the next few weeks I will update the Minor Leaguers, noting which ones will come off the list at the start of the 2012 season. If your Minor Keeper comes off the list, that means you either need to make him a Major League Keeper by February 1 (the day Major Keepers are due) or he is dropped and available to all teams in the draft.

Also, the Minor Keeper board is now frozen except for trades and call-ups as Major Keepers. Waivers are not allowed again until after May 2012 draft. I'll post this in the Minor Keepers thread also.
