Costs

Posted By KenG

I've been paying 29.95 for a long time as a founder. I don't have a problem paying a bit more than that as a founder(maybe $35-$40 if I kept all my teams). It should be noted though some founders may feel that paying that 29.95 is their due, since they helped start up the league, as well as made the initial investment.

One idea I was thinking about for founders was keeping the pricing the same except charging a dollar per team for each one over 3, up to a max of 10 dollars more.

The big danger for increasing founders costs is that we could end up with a flood of unmanaged teams as some founders give up teams(many took teams to help out, others might not want to pay extra).


For non founders, getting owners to take extra teams should be your highest priority. I'm not sure what the number of teams owned is per non-founder owner, so I'll throw out an example using 3 team ownership as the average.

They would currently be paying 30 dollars. Change the pricing scheme to 10 for the first team, 9 for the 2nd, 8 for the 3rd, etc, down to 5 dollars per additional teams.

Thus an owner with 3 teams pays 27, but he could then add another team for only 7 bucks, thus he ends up at 34 with 4 teams. He may then decide to add one more for only 6 bucks, thus he is at 40. You end up with 10 dollars more, two less unowned teams, and a happier league in general, at no real cost to you.

I like the idea of quarterly billing.

Just my two cents.
