The eight-team postseason is scheduled to begin in Eindhoven in early November.<\/p>\n<p>Since the start of the ISL in 2019, there have been repeated statements of financial difficulties within the ISL, most notably the lack of payment to the men and women who are the centerpiece of the league. Now, there is word that some athletes are considering pushing back and may take a stand against the <a href=\"http:\/\/isl.global\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">league<\/a> for what they are owed ahead of the biggest meets of the season.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to missed payments to athletes from the previous season, in which the Cali Condors captured the team championship, the ISL reportedly owes money to its staff and contractors. According to Lutton, who is one of Australia\u2019s top journalists, some venues in the United Kingdom and Hungary will not allow for an ISL return to their facilities until financial obligations are met.<\/p>\n<p>During an episode of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/c\/InsidewithBrettHawke\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Inside with Brett Hawke Podcast<\/a> in the summer, American standout Amy Bilquist noted that she had not been paid for her work during the 2020 ISL season.
