Wow! That's a lot of stuff. Some of those same fines apply to us, but a lot of them do not apply to how we do things.
I totally understand the insurance part of it. That's a great deal! I already have medical and life insurance, so that wouldn't mean much to me, but it could mean a great deal for many people.
How does your fine system have anything to do with working a scrimmage for free/volunteering?
Thanks for the conversation and information.
