PSSBL Player Dues Refund Policy
Last Updated: 2/16/2007


Once a player has paid his annual dues to become a member of the Puget Sound Senior Baseball League, the League will not refund dues to players who refuse to play for the team they are drafted by or are returning to. In these cases, the league will make best efforts to arrange a trade with another team, but cannot guarantee that such a trade will be completed. General Managers are required to fill out their rosters with a minimum of 15 full dues paying players to cover the cost of playing a full season of baseball. As stated on the registration form, any player refusing to report or play will be banned from the league for two years and no refund of dues will be made.

However: if a player is forced to leave a team due to season ending injury or job relocation prior to the team completing half the regular season schedule (but in no instance after the 20th of July) a player may submit a request for a pro-rated refund of their membership dues which will be calculated based on the number of games remaining in the season for the team in question AT THE TIME THE REQUEST IS SUBMITTED TO THE LEAGUE TREASURER.

If a player breaks a bone in the second game of the season but waits until the 10th game of the season to submit a refund request, the refund will be based on the 14 games then left to play, not the 22 games left at the time of the injury. The refund will be based on a flat rate of $30 plus $13.25 per game not played from the date the refund is requested. All other remaining dues paid are non-refundable. This includes $50 of the original registration dues, as well as any other extra dues or late registration charges.

  • For example: An Olympic Division player who relocates to Montana after the 3rd game of the season will be refunded as follows: $30 + ($13.25 * 21) = $308.25 refundable.

PLEASE NOTE: TEAMS MUST MAINTAIN 15 PAID PLAYERS FOR ANY REFUND TO BE ISSUED. Teams will be required to add players to fill out the roster to 15 prior to a refund being issued to an injured or relocated player.
