2024 MGSL Escrow Refund Process. UPDATE as of 8/30
 
Six Venmo payments went out on 8/9 - Max'd out for the week until 8/17
18 Venmo payments went out on 8/20 - Max'd out - will try every day
5 Venmo payments went out on 8/21
2 Venmo payments have gone out between 8/22 and 8/30
22 checks went out on Thursday 8/22
 
Venmo has blocked me from processing payments for the past three days - 20 teams remain to be procesed. 
Venmo escrow returns will restart on Sept 16th - 
 
 
1) The MGSL season for all divisions must be complete. I believe that happened on Tuesday night 7/30.
 
2) All (5) umpire services need to have submitted their year-end invoice
 
3) The D/C's need to have approved their divisions back charges.
 
When points 1, 2 & 3 are completed Escrow Refunds can begin 
 
Other points 
Organizations that pay for more than one team are less likely to be early in the system
Historically, Venmo is limited to $3000 per week - that means 10 teams per week (62 teams paid via Venmo)
The MGSL treasurer is on vacation 9/2-9/16 it his intent to have all paper checks mailed before 9/1
 
Teams that wish to roll over their escrow to the 2025 season need to send Dennis an email
Teams that rolled escrow over from 2023 to 2024 will have their escrow rolled again. To end the roll over process said team must email Dennis directly.
