Welcome to another year of Phantoms Fastball Bingos
Bingos are a great way to offset your ball expenses for the year and they benefit the zone.
The funds the zone receive allow us to offer additional turf times, hold clinics at a reduced
rate and purchase team equipment.

Each player paid a $50.00 bingo deposit with their registration fee. In order to get this deposit
back, families must work at least one bingo. The deposit will be returned to the player’s team
account, upon payout of the Bingo funds at the end of the season. For each bingo worked the
player receives a $100.00 credit. There will be opportunity to work multiple bingos, running all
the way through July.

Once again, we will be using Signup Genius to manage bingos this year. Everyone will be
able to access this document at any time.
A few things for everyone to keep in mind for bingos:
Please arrive 15 minutes early for your bingo.
 Cell phones are not allowed while working bingos.
 All outside beverages must be in a travel mug.
 Do not bring valuables into the bingo hall. You are responsible for any personal
belongings that go missing or are stolen.
 For any players 14 & 15, they are allowed to work, as long as their parent is working
as well. If a player is 16, they are allowed to work without a parent.
 Shortages and mistakes are going to happen from time to time as we are all human.
However, to keep our shortages to a minimum, any bingo worker that is short $10.00 or
more will have the total amount of their shortage deducted from their team cheque.

LOCATION AND SHIFT
All Bingos are held at City Centre Bingo (310 22nd Street West).
Day Shifts: 11:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
Evening Shifts: 5:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m.
Late Evening Shifts: 9:30 p.m. – 1:30 a.m.

All bingos fall under SLGA rules and regulations, which we as a Zone must follow to keep our
license in good standing. It is very important that all families understand what are allowable
expenses in order to receive a reimbursement for bingos worked. We do not want to
discourage anyone from working a bingo, but you cannot work more than what your expenses
are during the season. Your Bingo Coordinator or Manager will let you know the number of
bingos that will be allowed for each player on your team. Below are the allowable and
unallowable expenses.

ALLOWED:
 Out-of-town expenses for tournaments:
 Hotels, fuel and meals
 Registration Fees
NOT ALLOWED:
Expenses for the following are not eligible for reimbursement:
 Out of province tournament expenses unless the team wins their way there (Westerns or Canadians) ** NEW THIS YEAR
 Personal equipment or clothing
 In-town tournament expenses (meals/fuel, etc).
 Tournament gate admission for family members
RECEIPTS ARE A MUST. In order to be reimbursed, you must have ORIGINAL receipts. NO EXCEPTIONS.
If you are unsure if something is an allowable expense, please ask me.
The team treasurer will be collecting receipts on specified dates throughout the ball season,
instead of getting them all at the end of the season in order to complete the accounting
required and process payments quicker and more efficiently. We will be tracking how many
bingos are being worked.

Cancellations: If you can’t work a bingo that you have signed up for you must either remove
your name from the schedule or let me know at least 3 days prior. After that you will need to
find someone to work your shift (ask your team, a family member or friend). If it is less than 3
days notice there will be a $100.00 penalty for either not showing up or cancelling.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding bingos.

Have a great season!!!
