B. All monies collected for insurance purposes will be held in the Roster Wars Insurance Fund and will be governed by the Insurance Company along with the RWP.
The Insurance Company consists of several RWDOC owner volunteers approved by the RWP.C. In the event that a vacant team is deemed by this committee to be in such bad shape that it is unreasonable to expect a new owner to be able to turn the franchise around within three (3) years, the Insurance Company may approve to use the Insurance Fund to pay for one full season of league dues for that franchise.
1. The incoming owner must pay the $50 insurance money to enter the league.
2. The incoming owner must pay for one full season of their league dues and that would be non-refundable. This will in effect make the new owner’s second season free.
3. If a dispersal draft occurs, no incoming owner will receive funds from the Insurance Fund.
4. The Insurance Company's ruling on payments is final.
5. If a member of the Insurance Company is directly involved in a case, the RWP or a substitute long-standing owner will take their place in ruling on the case.
6. If the Insurance Company is to pay for one free season, any prizes won by that franchise in that free season will be awarded to the Progressive Pot.
D. There are separate insurance funds per league. Every franchise must be insured.
An owner with a franchise in the Main League must pay a separate insurance for their Futures League franchise.E. The Insurance Funds at full strength would be equivalent to (the number of franchises in that league + 2) x ($50 insurance). Any overage obtained through changes in ownership will be added to the progressive pot. Any shortages will be replenished through turnover not requiring reparations.
E.2 Club DuesEach owner is required to pay club dues within one week of the conclusion of the annual January Owner’s Meeting each year.
