What kind of rule would be the most effective to curtail late or nonpayment of league fees?
According to Rule 109d, a league could adopt a rule stating games will be forfeited if participants in a team’s lineup are not current in their fees. With such a rule, if the members present did not submit their own fees, the games would be subject to forfeit. However, games cannot be forfeited if fees are not paid when a member is absent. If the absent member does not pay in full upon return, then all games the member bowls while in arrears would be subject to forfeiture if a timely protest is filed. The league board should not hesitate to enforce the rule when there is a violation. Don’t allow league fees to be charged. Make sure everyone is aware of this rule. If anyone asks to “pay next week,” the team captain or league treasurer should say no and advise them of the league rule. The captain should collect the fees before the team starts to bowl.
