Hi GMs,
This year Fantrax has raised the fees we pay them by a fair amount. They are now $129.95USD which works out to nearly $200CAD. I collect $360 and payout $250 in prizes:
$90, 60, 30 1st, 2nd, 3rd
$50, 30 playoff champ and finalist
I’ve always kicked in a little extra as the $100 I’ve held back never covered the full amount in previous years. There was always someone who didn’t collect winnings or donated a bit so it wasn’t that large an amount. Now with it being an extra ~$100 it’s a bit much.
Options are:
1 - Drop the two $30 payouts which gets me closer, especially with a couple of people paying is USD.
2 - Fantrax allows GMs to pay a share of the fees which works out to under $11USD/GM
3 - Increase league fees by $10 to 40.
There are good and bad for all options. My preference would be increasing fees or everyone covering their share. Everyone paying their share via Fantrax would be great as we could then payout the full $360 but that could get hard to chase down GMs when the time came. I think it would be simpler to just bump the fees up. From the full $480 collected I’d take out $180 for fees leaving $300. We could bump the payouts to:
120 - first
60 - second
30 - third
60 playoff champ
30 finalist
I’m looking for opinions and will go with the consensus. In the meantime…I’ll be wandering the alleys looking for cans and bottle for this year. ;-)
