We pay $35 for the team to shoot, so the 5 players that shoot each pay $7. Every team plays out of a bar. There are no APA, TAP, or BCA leagues that play out of pool halls here.
Two of us work swing shift at different companies, and sometimes our nightshifts overlap, and we forfeit a game. The team still has to ante up the same $35, so the team captain usually digs down into her purse and antes it up. Often, the bar owner, if there, will pay the $7 for no one to shoot. I think that if you forfeit a match, you shouldn't need to pay that $7 for that shooter.
Each team's bar puts up $5 for quarters, in most places that $10 doesn't go far at all. After that, the hosting bar puts up the quarters for us to play.
