Cliff received his hard copy of all the information. Otherwise no progress has been made on the ADO research, no interest in joining the research committee has been expressed by league members. Nothing further to report.

Part 2, Article XII Amendments The main issue with this section is the interpretive nature of the terminology. The goal is to allow the board to still be able to make changes and amendments that will make things more clear, or improve the leagues welfare, without having to put them to an "All-Captains" vote but to make it so the board cannot make drastic changes without the approval of the league. There was question about what Paragraph B really means by "setting precedence" and how future boards may interpret that term. It was decided to change Paragraph F so that only 2/3-majority vote of All Captains would instate a rule before the end of a season.
   Charlie moved we vote to approve the proposed amendment with the changes, Cliff seconded, 6 ayes, motion passes.

Part 2 Article XIII General Provisions There was some concern over inconsistency in referencing other parts of the rules; we refer to certain types of passages as both paragraphs and sections. We discussed how the appellant process is different from challenging a decision and whether or not the way Paragraph F is worded implies that if the captains as a body are challenging a decision by the board then they can’t vote, which would mean nobody can vote. There was lots of arguing and it was agreed that the process by which the Captains overrule the Board is different than appealing a decision and so Paragraph F does not apply.
    Charlie moved we approve the proposed changes, Abel seconded, 6 ayes, motion passes.

Glossary There was a lot of discussion about how basic we should get with our definitions, whether we should include basic dart terminology or just those terms used in the rules have a specific meaning as used in the rules but may have different interpretations in the outside world. We also need a second part to the definition of term to define it in context of how long board members serve added to it’s current definition as fraction of playing season. We also decided that the term scorer should just be changed to scorekeeper everywhere as scorer could be the person keeping score or the person throwing the scoring dart.
   Charlie moved we postpone decision on the amendment, Nichole seconded, 6 ayes, motion passes.

Abel reported that he has a meeting with the GM of Charlie O’s on Friday, he’ll find out if they can host the banquet but their participation isn’t a sure thing. The board decided the 1oo7 would be the next best choice.

We don’t really have any information on trophy options at the moment. In B-League KC Venemon took first place singles, Mike Dances is the highlight champ. We also discussed possible most improved for the league; two good possibilities were Matt Roberts and Gary Fleming.

Cliff brought in a form that was given to him by one of the league members that is used to write down half time drinks, the question is should we provide these to the captains at the beginning of the season so that they don’t have to use the back of their score sheets. Possibly we could also get a beer company or someone to pay to have their logo on these. Abel reported that he has worked with large companies as sponsors before and they are really not into placement, they are more likely to give you trinkets or things. Discussion ended without and conclusive decision.

Chris Mathews approached Nichole and Abel about writing a letter in support of the Poet as they are going up for their live music permit approval and they have neighbors who are fighting them. Nichole wrote up a letter, Keith signed it, and the Chris Mathews was ecstatic. Abel also made up profession letterhead for the league so it would look more official. Jon brought up a good point that it was important to note that live music at the Poet in no way conflicts with darts, these things happen on different nights.

The account with Cruzio is still in Ken Grunstra’s name, which is not to his liking; we want to change it to an active board member. There was discussion about who’s name it should be put in, the two obvious choices being Commissioner and Statistician, statistician won out for now as they are the person most responsible for the web site also Keith is up for re-election and Abel is not, if we put it is his name we can always decide to change it later.
