The old contracts we would do with somebody along these lines. You would say, 'OK, I'll give you a $10 million signing bonus, and then the minimum salary the first year and maybe the second year, and then later on in the contract really jack the salaries up.' Now, because of the 30 percent rule, you really can't do that.

The thing that stands out most about the 2006 Champions Tour schedule is its strength and continuity of our sponsorships. Within the last two years, many of our title sponsors have signed multi-year tournament extensions. As a result, the Champions Tour enjoys a very strong underpinning, with some contracts extending as far out as 2010. Our sponsors are committed to this Tour, and the Tour and its players are committed to them in return.

Thank goodness we're not where we were last year or the year before. Because it has to be a very, very scary situation to be way over the cap right now and trying to redo contracts and get your money right, and yet you're not exactly sure what effect the CBA is going to have on it. But that's our world and that's the way we have to live it.

November rolled around and our checks came up smaller then normal. DC Studios was finally deducting Federal Taxes, another step we looked forward to during this acquisition. This happened twice in November, yet no new contracts had been drawn which justified any Dallas member as an actual employee of DC Studios. We questioned this matter, and in December, our first check came in and it was back to the old figures, where no taxes were being taken out. So where did our Federal Tax money go, not to mention the withholdings for Health Insurance, which we found out was canceled due to non-payment?

Those encompass at least a day or two in court (per week).

It takes time to switch schedules because contracts are sent four and five years in advance.
