THE INFAMOUS 80's LIST

OVERVIEW: The 80's List of players who have been "black-listed" for non-payment. There was a time when the league was flexible with payment and teams were allowed to pay throughout the season. However, during the course of Superstar Basketball's first 12 seasons, teams started to take advantage and several teams missed payments. The trust was broken and in the Spring 2009 season, General Managers demanded a change.

"We usually get stuck with having to pay for our whole team and our players take advantage of us as GMs," said one GM.

"We need to treat the payment system just like every other league... pay before you play," said another General Manager.

During the GM Meeting of Summer 2009, the League Commissioner listened to the GMs and made it mandatory for teams to pay up front before even playing a game. "We are avoiding having an 80's List altogether and it starts with me having to be strict with our payment policy," said the League Commish.

OLD POLICY:   If the team pays the balance before the season ends they'll avoid being on the "80" list. If the team fails to make a full payment before the next season starts, each player will have to pay a re-instatement fee of $80.

EFFECTIVE AS OF WINTER 2009 SEASON:  GENERAL MANAGERS who are on the 80 List are required to pay the FULL AMOUNT + the $80 forfeit FEE.  Per GM Meeting (1/4/09) GMs are responsible for their teams.

The fines are cohesive with the fines and the rules of Superstar Basketball. The following fines are listed for reference.
