I get paid 60 cents per bowler, per week. Last year, I had 44 bowlers, and we bowled for 33 weeks, so I made 44x$0.60 = $26.40 per week x 33 weeks = $871.20.
For $26.40 per week, I collect the money, record who owes what, and settle up with the house before I leave the center that night. The next morning, I enter the scores in the computer, print standings sheets and upload them (and other reports) to my web site, where members can log on to view the current week's results and see who they are bowling next week.
Then I make the bank deposit, and prepare the week's funds reconciliation for the league President, accounting for the money received, the lineage paid to the lanes, and the amount of the bank deposit. It also shows how much money each team owes, with starting and ending balances.
Next week, I get to the lanes an hour early to put out the money envelopes, recap sheets and a copy of the standings for each team, and to make sure the lanes have been oiled. Then I go have a beer!
Oh yeah, and each week I write up a little commentary on how everyone did last week, and post it to the web site. I try to make it interesting and informative for everyone. That alone takes a couple of hours.
Every month or so, I write up and mail the award applications. We don't have many hotshot bowlers on this league, so we don't have many honor scores. It's mostly the "60 pins over average game" kinda stuff.
If you guys think $26.40 per week is a lot of money for that, well, you're welcome to it. In my real job, I make that much in about 20 minutes.
