League Reports:

Disciplinary Chairmen’s Report:  Pat McNamara

                                                                       

·        Turned over league computer to AG.

·        Making revisions to the game cards.

·        An issue came up regarding substitutions.  DASL takes an exception to FIFA in this area and follows USYSA rules which allow a substitution on any stoppage of play – if the referees allow the substitution.  PM will ask Jim Walshe to clarify this rule to the referees but emphasize that it is still up to the referees to allow the substitutions.  

 

Operations Report:  Adam Germek

 

·        One game scheduling problem w/Reruns.  Trying to reschedule.

·        E-mail notification of game results has worked well.

·        Game cards have been coming in ok.

·        Danville has suggested an alternate make-up of divisions with four groups – 8 teams, 8 teams, 8 teams, and 6 teams at the Premier level.  This is to allow teams of the same skill level to play each other more often.  (Concern was that some teams in the Premier Level are much better than other teams there.)  AG to consider.
