Paying My Dues

10:14AM Mystery Teammate: hhhmmm, the cost of bingham goes up after tuesday

10:15AM Gayest Neil: YIKES!
10:15AM Gayest Neil: to what?

10:16AM
Mystery Teammate: One more thing: You can pay a combined Spring Dues/Early Bingham for $400 (before 2/28) (not sure what the price will be after 2/28..stay tuned)...Please make sure that you register!!! Even if you have paid the above dues combo YOU STILL HAVE TO REGISTER (if you don't register, you will not be allowed on the pitch during the tournament) **
10:16AM Mystery Teammate: I think it goes up to either $450 or $475 total

10:16AM Gayest Neil: huh...i need to register now then. I guess.
10:17AM Gayest Neil: so it's $175 for bingham
10:17AM Gayest Neil: that means dues are 225? Momma is poor!

10:19AM Mystery Teammate: Spring 2006 Dues will be $250. Players who return in the fall will pay another $100 for the fall season. We may revisit the fall amount if our expenses run less than anticipated or we find ourselves in a better financial position by the end of the summer. Players who play the fall season only will pay $200. That amount will not change (any fall price decrease will only apply to players who paid for the spring). **

10:19AM Mystery Teammate: As you know, Bingham Registration has begun, and fees are $175 of paid by February 28. You may pay both your Spring Dues and your early deadline Bingham fees for a total amount of $400, but you must pay the full amount by February 28 to take advantage of this offer. If you're planning on playing in the Bingham Cup and know you're going to be able to have everything paid by the end of February, then this is the way to go because you'll end up saving $50 (based on the price of Bingham registration after Feb. 28). **

10:21AM Mystery Teammate: the math doesn't come out right, lol

10:24AM Gayest Neil: yeah we save $25 by registering now?

10:25AM Mystery Teammate: oh, you mean $25 off the normal early bird registration of $175?

10:26AM Gayest Neil: no. $25 … I don't know …

10:26AM Mystery Teammate: ha

10:26AM Gayest Neil: its' $400 if we register now
10:26AM Gayest Neil: it's $222 for bingham and $250 for Gotham if we don't register now
10:26AM Gayest Neil: sorry $225
10:27AM Gayest Neil: so we shave $75?
10:27AM Gayest Neil: i don't know
10:31AM Gayest Neil: Haha. I said "Shave"!
