1. The person I'm looking to replace didn't already pay.
2. As it is, it's not even close to a break even proposition for me. Geez - what's all the fuss about $2? Either you want to play, or you don't.
If you're new to this board, and don't understand all that I've put up with in the past 3 seasons of running the scratch doubles, you won't get it. If you've been around, I'm surprised you'd even ask.
I've done this completely free of any kind of charge for 2 seasons, doing everything basically manually. I've used excel, but the method was error prone, and sometimes I'd get behind by weeks.
I asked all participants to kick in $2 IN TOTAL FOR THE WHOLE SEASON) towards the purchase of a league secretary program to make my very busy life a little easier, and make the results better for the participants. Those who have been participating probably have an idea of what it takes to do this - it's not like everyone shows up in person once a week, you collect recaps, and you're done. I have to chase after idiots who sign up and then can't be bothered to show enough respect or support for their partners by either posting that they need a blind, or answering PMs sent to them requesting scores.
I hope that all current participants are getting at least $2 worth of enjoyment out of taking part. After all, there's no prize fund, no lineage fees, and $2 a YEAR is a really, really cheap secretary fee.
For what it's worth, I looked into getting the league secretary software sponsored, but there was an issue with having to pay to see the results on line that I didn't want to deal with.
