The final and most sacred fine of all:
Any tampering with the fines bible or the money attached, this includes playing silly buggers and fine rigging, will be fined the maximum EUR 5 fine.
General comments:
1 All money collected for both fines and the game contributions will be noted on an excel sheet that will be in the fines bible. This will allow us to see who has paid and how much money has been collected.
2 All payments made for lunch, coffee and drinks after the game as well as travel expenses will also be noted on the sheet to show how much money was spent out of the team fund.
3 All the funds collected will be used for the team as decided by the team. This will be discussed as a team.
4 Any non-‐ payment on the player’s behalf shows a proper lack of respect for your fellow team members and your team. If you don't want to pay fines, then don't flout the rules. Maximum of 1 week to be allowed to pay the fines.
5 Please also remember that these fines are not a serious punishment and that the idea behind them is to generate some funds for the team and to make people accountable for their actions. It is all a bit of fun!
