Quoted from ifpapinball:We did take $.05 of every dollar to cover Paypal/Stripe fees along with any currency translation fees from our Canadian friends up North.
Unfortunately the 5% didn't cover those fees so I ended up writing a personal check to IFPA for $1,280.89 to cover the shortfall of the funds we promised to payout via the 75/20 split between Nationals and State's.
Turns out I am stupid enough to actually PAY money to do all this
Thanks for all you do Josh!
Quoted from Whysnow:Nah but thanks. I largely stopped playing competitively. More fun to play casually. I spent plenty of time helping build competitive pinball in WI over the past 5+ years only to have the rules rapidly change for the benefit of ultra competitive folks that I care little about catering to at the detriment to the masses. There is little doubt that the changes are what directly slowed the growth of ifpa sanctioned events despite the continued huge boom in pinball as a whole.
Happy for you and your family that those “just a buck” entry fees are adding up.
I look forward to your eventual reality show and full sponsorship.
Weren’t we a superstate though? Things didn’t even slow in WI.
