5 Mistakes You May Be Making As a Commissioner

Being a commissioner requires all the guts and seldom the glory. But there are five things in particular that can often become a real pain or even worse, put you in a bad position. There is a solution here, and the owners of RYP/OFP walk you through them below:

1. Chasing Payments & Tracking Payments - We all know that guy. Let's call him Bob (sorry to all the Bob’s). He never pays his entry fee on time or has a weird request to send via carrier pigeon. Then comes tracking it all - hosting a lot of people and tracking them all in spreadsheets is a tedious process. One wrong letter in an email or a note that goes straight to spam can cause chaos as the season approaches.
   ‍
2. Holding Onto Large Amounts of Cash -  Along with constant fear of being hacked, the typical payment processors are now keeping a close eye on accounts receiving similar funds and in some cases freezing the assets.  
   ‍
3. Using Payment Platforms to Pay Out the Winners - Speaking of payment processors, companies such as PayPal and Venmo are now requiring that people issue 1099s for all withdrawals of $600 or more.
   ‍
4. Pushing the Limits on Legalities - Playing for real money offline and through you, the commissioner, is still illegal. Even through Paysafe, so why risk it?

5.
