Prize Fund
« on: October 31, 2013, 11:06:04 AM »
We recently clinched one of four roll off spots in out scratch league and I'm curious as to what kind of prize fund we have to look forward to.

Prize fund is roughly $11 of the weekly lineage and there are 15 teams with 5 people per team.  This would equate to about 26,400 as the year end prize fund.  There is also a .50 cent penalty for bowling 20 pins under your average, so this buffs the fund slightly.

It's fairly competitive, so I'm guessing the difference in payouts will be higher accordingly.  Anybody ever been in a similarly sized league/prize fund and remember what the payouts were like?

We are guaranteed at least 4th at this point.

If you are a prize fighter you use the jab to distract from a KO punch ... I think pointing out a word that was unacceptable to the reader was a distraction from the thought.

 There are always changes to a league prize fund in 36 weeks .. some are minor others Major and that's why we have league officers to make ENHANCEMENTS/ADUSTMENTS!

I agree, the intent was understood.  Though when discussing prize funds, I can see how one would want you to explain how the secretary/treasurer was required to increase the prize fund because of people or teams leaving. 

And to make matters worse, you take offense to the want of the reader to clarify if you really meant "enhance".  And one could also say you are using red text to distract from the fact you don't understand the difference between enhance and adjust.

Just sayin'

Enhance - intensify, increase, or further improve the quality, value, or extent of.

Adjust - alter or move (something) slightly in order to achieve the desired fit, appearance, or result.

Still .. was the comment correct or are we still discussing the proper word? Funny how we can go on and on discussing a word when the whole subject was PRIZE FUND .. so to many it would have been much CLEARER if ADJUST was used instead of ENHANCE .. some people probable used their head and understood others would prefer to correct the word and disregard the comment .. again .. so what .. FAIL ME .. I'll take the subject over ..  ::) ;D :'(

You guys are lame.  I'm fairly certain you agree, so stop bickering.
