But then we should put in a rule in theoff-season stating that if you play, you have to pay.

I'm not trying to be a bill collector (LABeat last season, Smerf this season). There has to be SOME payment at the start of the season and a monthly payment plan to cover the whole thing by the end of Feb.

Given Shawn's situation, I let it fly this year, plus we needed the body. We can start next seasons GM hunt earlier and have a few on deck in case someone can't return to avoid the desperation.

But having a vacant pot rollover every year...smh. Nah.
