Fate of CMPPA

As most of you can guess, I am on a break from playing and running poker games. I have been spending time working and going to my lake place and fishing. That doesn't mean that poker has been totally forgotten. The CMPPA was formed last year by myself and a group of other local bar poker enthusiasts and has been semi successful so far. Membership has grown each year. From this has come the CMPPA Bar League. Something I have designed to give my bar players a chance to win bigger money by having a finals at a local Casino. We ran a 24 week season and then concluded a finals in March giving away $2800. We are currently in the second season and it is proceeding well with bar turn outs at all time highs. The problem is that I allowed one other bar to participate and charged them $600 for the 24 weeks. To this date they haven't paid and as of know the CMPPA is covering the money. It is an easy decision on what to do after this 24 weeks is up. I will continue using only my bars with the 3rd promotion and payout less money. Now what to do with other place. They have said that they will pay and I believe that at some point they will, but I hate to see this be the downfall of the CMPPA as an organization. They can't afford to loss the first $600 let alone another for this season that the bar committed to. It is a dilemma. The CMPPA could sue the bar and most likely would get all the money due. We even have a board member that is a lawyer and he constructed a letter to the bar to try and get the money, but all I think it did was piss the guy off. I am not real big on controversy so hopefully he will just pay up and the CMPPA can move or else this maybe the beginning of the end of the CMPPA. Then the next question is what if I don't go back to running or playing poker. How much do I want to be involved in an organization that I am not an active part of. Currently I have a lot of input into what happens in the group could I handle if all the decisions are made by others. There is a lot of uncertainty coming up. Well, maybe It will give me something to blog about!
