Also do you know if you are Diamond or Platinum you get extra buxs when you win the tours and special medals?
Also all diamond and platinum members can donate ladder buxs to other members!
If you are already a premium member make sure you call cases at (855) 797-1638 and ask them if TSA is your main league
Leagues get credit for every premium member they have and another league you could have been in years ago could be getting credit for you vs the league you want.
