Everyone,

I am doing a study about league bowling and the cost breakdown of league dues.  Please post your league information in the format shown below (if you can do a similar breakdown for a couple years back that would be great, otherwise current information will suffice).

If you can't do a break down, just having your comments would be helpful too:

Secretary Fee is .50 per bowler. That seems high.

Here is the basic breakdown of my main league (I've been the treasurer for the past 3 seasons, so this information was easy to come by):

2007-08: (28 Teams x 4 bowlers)
- Weekly Dues = $25.00 per bowler
o Lineage = $10.75 ($40570.50/season – 35 weeks of which the last week is free)
o Sec. Fee = $0.40 & Tres. Fee = $0.40
- League Prize Fund Total = $53917.25

2008-09: (25 Teams x 4 bowlers)
- Weekly Dues = $25.00 per bowler
o Lineage = $11.00 ($437400.00/season – 35 weeks of which the last week is free)
o Sec. Fee = $0.40 & Tres. Fee = $0.40
- League Prize Fund Total = $47300.00

I play on an Air Force base, which compared to what you all are paying, I think I will continue to!

Weekly fee: $10
Lineage: $7
Prize fund: $3
Roughly 7600 total prize fund at end of year.

I dont have exact total figures, but its more of just a fun handicap league.  I know there's  a Sec. fee, but I dont remember how they get paid in our league.  Last year our lineage was $8 dollars but the new manager dropped it a buck for us!
