State of the League:

 

·         S. Ruehl described how the spirit of play should be viewed by league members.  Players should act graciously toward other players.  They should emote a positive attitude.  Teams should promote this attitude, and address those who play at all cost.  This graciousness is something that goes beyond sportsmanship.  Meaning that you can be competitive and still embody the spirit of graciousness.

Disciplinary Chairmen’s Report:  Pat McNamara

                                                                       

·         No Report

 

Operations Report:  Adam Germek

 

·         AG is scheduling make-up games for rain-outs.  (Friday Nights are being considered.)  He is coordinating with City Representatives.

·         AG was told that a new team is interested in joining the league.  Adding one team would bring the total to 28 which makes scheduling easier than with the current 27 teams which creates a bye each week for one division.  In addition, two other teams may be interested in joining the league which would bring the total number of teams to 30 and balance the divisions.

·         It was pointed out that any new team must first apply to their City representatives.   The City then recommends membership to the board.

Registrar Report:  Karl Thomas

 

·         KT discussed the type of photos that are required on player passes.  (B&W or color, photocopy verses photo)  The DASL Constitution requires a clear, current photograph of the player.  The Registrar has the discretion to approve any particular player pass.
