Prime Time Tax? Ara hopes to Impose Draft hosting fees on managers.

After receiving bids to host the AFFL Draft from a variety of venues which included Carousel Restaurant in Glendale and Sako's Mechanic's Garage in North Hollywood, The AFFL Draft Selection Committee has narrowed down the choices to two: The house of either Vosgereechee Gyank owner Mardig Kasbarian, or Prime Time owner Ara Malikian. There is one snag however, Ara is mandating a tax on the league.

Paperwork submitted to the league office by Prime Time on Monday offers the league full access to all facilities on the premisses, including the pool, food, drink and after draft indemnities.  Malikian adds that a "draft tax" be placed on managers to help pay for cleaning and repairs needed after the draft, as well the amount still owed from his Armenian Wedding in March.

Here is a list of some of the taxes and fees:

$20 team enterance fee
$2 walk-across the wooden floor tax (backyard entrance free)
$1.45 restroom cleaning fee
$1.15 wife/kids inconvienced fee
$1.05 parking fee
$1 laptop fee
$.50 outdoor patio seat fee
$.25 Ara fee
$.10 exit fee

Also included:

$.55 per sheet toilet paper fee

and

$.23 speaking fee

Should the league allow the fees to go through, each team manager would be responsible for paying their portion of the $29.50 on top of their league registration fee.

The league has consistantly maintained that hosting the AFFL draft is a privalage and the AFFL karma that one gains from such an event is priceless. Aside from a few food items brought to share, it is unlikely that the Prime Time will get to turn a profit while the AFFL Draft is in his house of the most hated.

Using Prime Time's phrase, I'm sure he should pay us for the fact that we shall all have "A horrible day."
