    I pay week to week. Have a couple team mates that pay in advance but that has bitten one of them. After I think week 5 and he had paid through 12 weeks, his wife was diagnosed with lung cancer, he hasn't been back to bowl since that time. Not sure that he will be back to bowl.

    I usually pay by the month - less to worry about in my mind.

    4 leagues gets expensive, so I pay as I go, but I usually pay at least one of them off when I get my yearly bonus. Definitely cutting one league next fall though.

    Thoughts & prayers to your teammate and his family.

    For me, I pay week to week unless I know in advance that I won't be there. Then, I'll pay a week or two ahead depending on the length of possible absence.

    On Monday evenings, we pay for two or three weeks at a time, as it's for both of us and $20/night.

    On Friday mornings, I take my winnings from the season prior and pay for the end of the current season (take summer season winnings and apply to the last weeks of fall season), then I pay a month at a time, as I tend to only get paid once a month. Fall takes longer to pay, but sometimes summer will be paid in full with my fall winnings!

    On the Flex league, I pay as go, as they have trouble keeping up with prepayments.

    All my leagues require for the last two weeks to be paid early; usually by the 6th week of bowling. That way if you have to quit, you have your two week notice paid. Also, this gives the house/secretary time to withdraw funds and prepare the prize fund envelopes.

    I like paying cash. It is week to week for me. All my leagues require for the last two weeks to be paid early; usually by the 6th week of bowling. That way if you have to quit, you have your two week notice paid. Also, this gives the house/secretary time to withdraw funds and prepare the prize fund envelopes. This is true for me too, classygranny .

    This year, I pay ahead to my next paycheck. Next year, I'm hoping to save up before the season so I can pay up front.
