PLEASE read and understand these rules. 

This rule was motioned April 6th, 2016, seconded and passed by majority Board vote :

A player must be financially whole (paid-in-full) with the Mid-Iowa Baseball League as well as their team/manager prior to taking the field.  If the team/manager allows a grace period for payment that extends into or beyond the current season, that player is eligible to play until any newly established deadline has passed.  If the agreed-upon deadline passes, the player is ineligible to continue play in the Mid-Iowa Baseball League (MIBL) until the outstanding fee is paid-in-full.  This includes any portion of a current season, pastseason or future season.  That player cannot join another team in the MIBL until all previous league & team fees are paid-in-full.

Additionally:

Any player or manager looking to recoup past dues from players where there was an agreement in place, verbal or written, the offending player be suspended from league play until the issue is resolved between the parties.  If such issues need to come before the Board, so be it.  This motion will help resolve past & present issues.  For example, if someone owes "Manager ABC" money from a past season (prior to 2016) and expects to play on a different team this season, that player cannot do so until he makes whole with Manager ABC.  This applies for any similar situations if they exist.
