PBA members donate how many hours per year to the PBA time pool?

• A. 48
• B. 24
• C. 72
• D. 96

Answer: (A)

Forty-eight hours per year is donated to the PBA time pool. The idea behind the time pool is simple: members contribute a set amount of their time to a shared bank that can be used to cover shifts when someone is out due to illness, injury, or other reasons. This amount provides a practical balance—big enough to keep the pool useful for coverage, but not so large that it becomes a heavy burden on individual members. If the contribution were only twenty-four hours, the pool might not have enough hours to meet needs throughout the year; if it were seventy-two or ninety-six hours, the commitment would be more demanding for members. So, forty-eight hours per year is the standard donation that supports consistent coverage while sharing the workload fairly.
