At the end of the season we pay 7% of our earnings to the board. It's due by early April. If it's late there's a $50 late fee, plus you lose assignments until mid-January. If it later than early May, you pay the $50 and lose all assignments the following year.

Like I said, we've got a few knuckleheads on our local board.

You, obviously, don't have any knuckleheads in your association.

We've got 325 guys on our local board, the treasurer's job would be impossible to do without the threat of steep late fees. One doesn't ignore $50 fines. That isn't pocket change for most. And yet, we have guys who get fined every year. Forgetful, poor bookkeeping, lack of attention to detail, can't read a calendar, etc.

We had a guy a few years ago that lost his entire season schedule because he forgot to attend a mandatory new rules meeting (several sites offered, several dates offered).
