UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Start of new season
Cliff brought up the fact that the latest rules, with recent amendments, have
not yet been printed; these were not considered urgent however.
Once the rules have been amended, these can be forwarded to teams at a later data.
The board however, thought that each sponsor location should have a copy on
hand for disputes or clarifications during league play.
Schedules
Cliff and Fred mentioned that some further changes need to be made to the
B-league schedule to reflect the latest changes to accommodate all the teams taking part.
Rosters
All rosters were finalized during the meeting. Cliff mentioned that last seasons team, The
86ers, had not submitted a roster, so it was now too late to admit them to the B league.
E-mail addresses
Rick mentioned that he had set up a system for contact management for the league and
that he had added all players who had submitted their email addresses to the league. In
addition, Rick was going to add a link on the welcome page so that members can sign up.
Unpaid Players/Sponsors
Two teams, The Stingers and The Bubblers have not yet paid.
Orientation Packets
Cliff and Rick made some final changes to the league schedules and printed forms for
the orientation packets, including the captain's contact info. Cliff was going to
take these to Kinko's following the meeting to create the finalized orientation packets for the teams.
Board Setup/Measuring
Board measuring has started and there are a few locations that need to be finished (1007, Bocci's, Corner Pocket, Windjammer).
NEW BUSINESS:
Adding Inter league Play
The board discussed ideas for adding inter league play as part of the normal season. The ideas behind including this as part of the
season is to make participation count towards overall team statistics. Because of constraints with teams schedules and player
availability, the board felt it would be advantageous to mix nights according to availability. One suggestion was to use bye weeks
in the league or possibly the all-star breaks.
Fred bought up the fact that the winter doubles play was very successful and a good example of how inter-league could work. No
agreement could be reached on when this type of play would start, that is, this season or next season. Scott suggested that
we could put the idea of inter league play to the vote and utilize the website to get member opinion, somewhere in the second half
of the season. If the board received a negative response the idea could be reviewed.
The board voted in favor of 6 to 0 to gauge league member opinion in the second half of the season.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:00 p.m.
