BONUSES

Bonuses are awarded for contributions to the Beacon Newsletter and for assisting the league in

a variety of ways. These bonuses vary from 15K-18K for articles involving MLB and Stats,  to 20K-25K for articles involving both the USPBL and MLB. 

Creating and sharing documents such as the rosters are given a 20-25K bonus.

The Pre-Draft Available Player List is awarded 50K.

The Ongoing release of documents such as rosters are awarded smaller bonuses periodically.

Available player lists are awarded 50K and are the most welcomed of contributions.

Surrogate GMs for Open teams receive bonuses: Trades (25K), drafts (25K) and roster management (25K).

During the season they get bonuses for playing games and CMs (25).

FINES

There are also fines.

Fines are given for not meeting deadlines, for not responding to ballots, Overuse of players, and for other violations of league rules. Such instances will be noted beforehand.

Fines incurred during the season are noted on the Draft Money Line. Also the explanation for fines

appears below the Money Chart.

Failure to send CMs and Results start each season at -5K for each. The amount DOUBLES with each

further offense. 5K for first offense, 10K for the next, 20K for the next, and so on.

Failure to vote on a League-Issued Ballot -50K

Overuse - Some leeway allowed for overuse, 3% for At Bats and 8% for IP providing the overuse does

not extend to more than 3 players. After that allowance.....

1K per AB for the first 20 over, 2K thereafter 

2K per IP for the first 5 over, 3K thereafter  

Starts 20K each  

The attempts to prevent or not to prevent overuse is taken into account as well as other 

factors, such as the affect of the overuse to a team's opponent and the number of players that are

overused.

The commissioner maintains a detailed list of fines. Those teams being fined should know why

the fines were assessed, but may contact the league for the details.
