Rules Variations
The “banking” system of preplays is in effect. All preplays are undated and may be submitted at any time during the season.
Dues / Prizes / Expenses / Whatnot
The Carpool league collects dues of $40 per player for each 10-week league season. We also collect “kitty” money, which comes from any free credits on machines (due to replay, match, etc) during league play. The dues and kitty together form the league’s treasury.
This league pays CASH MONEY prizes to players who make the playoffs, with a trophy to the winner as an option in lieu of cash prize. The whole-league cash purse is approximately $28/player (for an in-depth breakdown of the league expenses, click here). This purse is divided evenly across however many divisions we wind up having in the season. In each division, if there are 4 finalists, we pay 40%/30%/20%/10% of the division’s share of the purse to 1st/2nd/3rd/4th place finishers at the end of the playoffs. If there are 3 finalists, we pay 50%/30%/20% of the division’s share of the purse to 1st/2nd/3rd place finishers at the end of the playoffs. We may slightly deviate from these percentages to round payments to the nearest dollar.
It is important to the FSPA that we are transparent about how we handle players’ money. If you have any questions, please ask your league treasurer.
Inclement Weather Policy
League play will be canceled if inclement weather causes Northern Virginia Community College to be closed. If NVCC does not close during inclement weather, the league SLO may still declare “Liberal Leave” which provides for post-play of games by players who do not attend league. If Liberal Leave is declared, it will be announced here on the FSPA web site and on the FSPA mailing list.
