PM League Reports
Disciplinary Chairmen’s Report; Ralph Schutz
A letter was sent out today to a Danville player due to
exceeding 10 points. There have been no red cards yet this session. As of
today, all games for every field with game assignment have referees scheduled
to be there. Those games with TBA/TBDs have not yet
been assigned.
There was one game where the referee was unaware he was
scheduled for a particular field at a particular time (missed the attachment on
the e-mail), therefore, a game was short a referee. The board agreed that there
were special circumstances surrounding this unfortunate event, thus, agreed
that if both teams affected by this were receptive to the idea of a rescheduled
game it would be acceptable to do so.
Operations Report; Wes Motschmann
It was requested that the results on the website be updated
on time and as soon as possible. City reps should email scores as quickly as
possible to keep the site current.
Poor sportsmanship is an issue; particularly with some A
division teams. Discussions followed to determine the best way to address and
reduce or eliminate this problem. Ralph also mentioned he places referees
strategically to match play with best qualified refs for that level of play.
Treasurer Report (Registrar, Pro Tem); Pam Blessington
Pam was absent.
City Rep Reports
Danville, Karl Thomas
Ralph emphasized the importance of start times and that the
15 minute rule will be enforced. If each team has the minimum number of player
required, the game will start.
Karl pointed out that home teams need to be responsible for
corner flags, lines and goals. It was discussed that nets are not explicitly
stated in the rules and therefore not necessarily mandatory.
Karl also inquired on behalf of the Danville players, if
inter-league play with Pinole was acceptable. Sabrina indicated that DASL’s insurance does not cover this.
San Ramon, Bill Gillfilan
Bill had nothing to report.
Walnut Creek, Linda Zoccoli
There were some issues with one game; a referee did not
show, the players accepted the offer of a sub referee from other team. The
referee appeared to be legitimate, however, did not officiate very well. Due to
the fact that the ref was ok’d, there was nothing
that could be done.
Walnut Creek needs papers signed.
Orinda, Stuart McAllister
Stuart brought up scheduling issues they are experiencing.
Two dates in question, Sept 28th and Oct 19th. Stuart
discussed with other city reps and solutions will be found.
8:56 PM Old/Unfinished Business
None
New Business
Office of Registrar is still open. Please announce the
vacancy and explain the responsibilities are to keep rosters and release forms
up to date.
A laptop was purchased, however, there seems to be some
issues with the software. Sabrina will work on it or have it repaired.
