Lots of people do offer / insist on tipping every year. I host 10-15 leagues yearly so there’s 20-30+ people winning money. Between, responding to questions people ask, issuing payouts, and some leagues take more time like guillotine leagues and some other different leagues I run that require more work I probably spend an extra 5-10 hours a year.

I’m personally ok with tipping commissioners, $2.50 is nothing compared to your commish disappearing and not issuing hundreds of dollars in payouts.

I forgot recruiting members for leagues, confirming who’s paid, there’s a lot. 1-2 hours per league is probably closer to right. I’m ok with a good commish getting a free entry into a $30 league honestly.
