Sorry Mike, league play there's a refundable fee, tourney's, any tourney was protest committee on sight at all times no fees and protests at time of dispute.
When we had parties on protests it was the fines metted out to the umpires for losing protests. Our policy was that if you made a protestable call or your partner did and you didn't correct him/her then you were fined you pay for the set. I can remember it happening only once in the twenty years I worked games and it wasn't me and it was over a local rule. Actually, most of the umpire fine fund was for unpolished shoes and belts or partners not co-ordinating uniforms, no blue and grey games for us.
