Can we get the women’s standings posted quickly like the men’s? 2. Women’s Classification Committee- when are we meeting? I was contacted to be on the committee and haven’t heard anything. 3. On Saturday our team got a text that our Opponents for Sunday’s games changed. Patty Felker(Bomb Squad) Bomb Squads games were changed @ the last minute. Our games moved because of a forfeit, then the game was pushed back to accommodate players that were playing in another game. Some of our players had to leave and missed the game. 12:15 Bomb Squad vs All In (forfeit) New Game 12:15 Bomb Squad vs Riptide C New game couldn’t start because apparently players were on two teams and they needed those players to start the game. 4. Line Up Cards: a. How are players allowed to be on two rosters? b. Why are there no Jersey’s and numbers, it is hard to regulate players without them. There will be a Special Board Meeting held to address the issues and correct them. Whitey - will the league hear about the results? Marc- the league will be given findings of the Special Meeting
5. Can we get the website to recognize teams in a lone division in regards to their standings Marc- Right now we do not have that capability- we are working on it. Remember we are in the Beta Faze. 6. We are hearing about teams allowed to pay their fees late. Is this Fair? Was it Board Approved? 7. Growth Committee- how are we recruiting? Marc- Rafa is doing our recruiting in OC and we have the Meet Up that Wyndi started that is bringing in people. We are trying to get someone to undertake the same sort of recruitment in LB.
