FEES
All returning franchise owners and new franchise owners are charged an annual fee of $49. During the season, each franchise owner will be billed monthly for all of their successful transactions effective during the preceding month. Any successful move of players will be charged at the rate of .50 per player moved (signed as a free agent, released, traded away, acquired in trade, demoted, promoted, shifted, etc.)
Example: Promote Johnny Damon to the majors and demote Greg Vaughn. Cost: $1.00
Example: Team A trades three players to Team B for two players. Cost: $2.50 to each team.
Example: Shift Damion Easley from second base to shortstop. Cost: $.50
Example: Sign two free agents and conditionally release two players in connection with those signings. Cost: $2.00
Failure to make timely payments of transaction fees (within two weeks of billing) during the season will result in a suspension of a team's transaction privileges (including trades) until the balance has been paid. Owners with outstanding fees will not be allowed to renew their team for the next season until all fees are paid.
STATS, Inc. will automatically charge the credit card (American Express, Discover, Master Card or Visa) you provided during registration on a monthly basis during the season for any transaction charges you incur. If an owner relinquishes ownership of his team or, by his actions, causes ownership to be taken away from him, transaction fees will not be refunded under any circumstances.
