**Bounties & Fines**

End of Year Balances…

Bounties & Fines End of Year balances have been calculated. I want to announce though that unless you win a trophy or have a payout higher than $50, or if I can just hand you your payout (basically, if I don’t have to ship it where it cost me more money), your End of Year balance will go towards next seasons league fees.

As mentioned previously before, a negative balance DOES NOT mean you owe anything, it just means that if you have prize money coming to you (the $500 1st Prize, $250 2nd Prize, $50 3rd Prize, $50 from E.L.S.I.E. Island or the $50 NFL Confidence Pool Picks), the negative balance will come out of the money owed from there. So in example, if you won E.L.S.I.E. Island and have $50 coming to you but have a negative Bounties & Fines balance of $-10, then your payout will be $40.

NOTE: Negative team balances are highlighted in red below.
