Attendance

Mock attendance figures are maintained for each team during the season to encourage adherence to deadlines for sending series instructions and reporting series results.  Attendance is accumulated by each team month by month as follows:

Notes:

(1) Use "Per Month" figures in tables above for April/May series (since there is only one series for that "month") or if sending both series together in any other month.  Otherwise, use "Per Series" figures for each individual series.

(2) Dates refer to actual date/time (Eastern Time) of e-mail containing series results.  If the manager sends an incorrect file, the attendance credit is given based on the date/time of the subsequent e-mail that contains the correct file.

Year-End Bonus

At the end of the season, each team's year-end bonus is calculated by subtracting 1,215,000 from the final attendance figure and then dividing the result by 10.  Here are some examples:

Attendance Subract 1,215,000 Divide By 10 = Bonus
