In August, because of frequent defaults, CABA began requiring defaulting provinces to post a $50 bond (defaults would raise the cost of bringing the team across that extra province). “Before another team’s entry be accepted from that province in the following year. If default then takes place, the Executive may award all of part of the bond to assist the next entertaining team in that year’s series to finance its playoff. Bonds so posted shall be refunded within seven days of completion of playoffs.” Traditionally, the East and West champs were expected to rotate hosting the nationals, thus sharing the burden of financing the championships.
In the minutes of the August 18th, 1936 meeting, it is reported that CABA president “Hardwick’s remarks were that Basketball was a Canadian Game played all over Canada and that the local associations should forget their petty grievances and work for the good of the game. That the CABA’s share of the gate receipts had not been collected and their interests looked after as well as possibly they might have been therefore the bank balance had not grown very fast the last few years. Some of the extravagances of the CABA were the Olympic Games and the sending of the President of the CABA to all the meetings of the AAU of Canada. Thought that this money could be spent to better advantage by promoting the lower classes of basketball. The secretary’s have made the budget balance. General meetings are very expensive and thought that they should be held every three years instead of annually. Some thought that the collection of a cut in the gate as a tax an imposition but if they would keep in mind that the cost of organisation was tremendous and that basketball should be treated as big business and that it cost money to operate they would not think of it as a tax. Owing to the tremendous amount of work and time given by the secretary the president thought that the secretary should be paid for his services. The sooner we realize that basketball was big business the sooner basketball will become one of the great sport organizations in the country.”
