President Charlie McClain
Treasurer/Secretary Nichole Smith
Statistician Abel Romero
A-League Rep Cliff Cormier
B-League Rep Jon Barbieri
Also in attendance: Laura Reese
Charlie was unable to arrive until half way through
Cliff was ill and needed to leave before the very end


Concerns and topics discussed by Board Members during this meeting:

  1. ORBC
  2. Post-Season awards


OLD BUSINESS:
1. ORBC
   This emergency meeting was called due to the fact that the Final Version of the Rules and By-laws presented by Don Wilson had some content changes from the changes approved by the Board and the version was considered unfit for ratification. Abel presented what he felt the final version ought to be, using content that the board approved and the format and grammatical changes that Don Wilson implemented. Cliff was concerned that this version was coming from Abel only and didn’t have the backing of the ORBC. Charlie gets called to come down and check out this version and officiate it as ORBC worthy. Board delays decision until he gets here.
2. Post-Season awards
   Rob Christensen hit a 3T6-on in the playoffs, which beats the previous high-on for the season, he wants to know if it will count. The previous high on was a 3T1-on. The board did discuss this earlier in the season and decided not to count highlights unless they were automatic awards like Ro9’s and 8T0’s. The idea came up to make a separate award for high on’s and high off’s that are thrown during post season, provided that they are higher than those thrown in regular season play. That would mean the addition of up to 4 medals a season, which is a bit prohibitive.
   Nici motions we vote not to count the 3T6-on as it is a post-season Cliff seconds
   5 ayes motion passes
1. Back to ORBC
   Charlie shows up, he and Abel go over the newest version together. About now we say that everything except Charlie's approval has been wrapped up, so Cliff leaves and we’ll call him with the decision about the rules. As Chair of the ORBC, Charles endorses the newest version of the rules, submitted by Abel (the secretary of the ORBC), and sends it to the board for approval. The vote will occur at the next meeting.
4. Back to Post-Season awards
   Charlie heard our account of the vote on Post-Season awards and presented a strong argument that the reason for these awards is to recognize good darts and that Rob Christensens 3T6-on is great darts. After some debate Charlie moved we award separate medals for high-on’s and high-off’s thrown during post-season or tournament play, provided that they are better than those of the regular season, and that we amend Article X, Section B, Paragraph C to include these awards.Nichole Seconded, 5 ayes, motion passes. Also a second vote to make the rules effective immediately got 5 ayes.

   This vote is under contention and should not be considered valid until the issue is determined at the next board meeting. When Cliff left we had stated that everything except the issue of the rules was dealt with, which may have concluded the meeting and made this vote invalid.
Next meeting's topics of discussion. (but not limited to)

  1. ORBC
  2. Singles Championship results
  3. Post-Season Trophy Fiasco
  4. Banquet
  5. Next Season

Meeting adjourned at 8:17 p.m.
