Penalties And Fines ...
 

My local board has penalties and fines:

Members must attend an Interpretation (new rules) Meeting (any one of the six local (geographic) board Interpretation Meeting in Connecticut) to be eligible to receive game assignments for the current season.

Members must attend the Annual (business) Meeting (now combined with a banquet). Failure to attend will result in a fine of $25. Absences for unforeseen circumstances will be reviewed by the President.

Members are required to attend “regular” meetings. A $25 fine will be assessed for each meeting not attended beyond one missed meeting (only have one "regular" meeting this year, normally have two). Absences for unforeseen circumstances will be reviewed by the President.

Training ...
 

Same here (rule training online and rules exam online) for rules only through IAABO International.

Once they pass the rules exam, we have a live on court Training Committee that teaches mechanics, signals, procedures, etc., about a half dozen sessions up to and including preseason scrimmages.

Banquet Subsidy ...
 

In essence, those that do not attend the banquet subsidize those that do attend the banquet, through their dues, or their dues and fines.

Thank you very much.

Now if we can just get back our open bar!
