Saw this seems $teep to me.
New league $10 a week, 1/2 goes to the league operator.
X 25 teams X 5 players per team.
If league filled, the LO makes $2,400 a month.
Seems a little steep 50% bite/thoughts?

It's an amateur recreational league. It's a social night out. If the LO does a good job, he's earning the money. How much would you charge to deal with 125 pool players every week? Also, what are the LO's expenses?

That having been said, most of the leagues I've played in returned 80% to 100% of the weekly fees as prizes at the end of the season or each week. The room owners donated the table time and the LO donated his time (maybe for free entry each week). In one league, there was a $2/week/player league fee, but half of that was for the record keeping and half was prizes for the season finale.
 
$10 a week sounds great to me.
Even if it doesn’t include table time.
It’s 1/3 of an average hourly pay in the USA.
 
My Tuesday night league has nine 5 person teams and it costs $16 a night per player.
I have no idea how much the league owner keeps nor do I care.
