In event of a tie, the home team will submit the score sheet.  All score sheets must be turned in within 24 hours - any team that is late will be posted on the website.
* By Laws and Regulations - New Rule 1:  Board discussed a rule to eliminate players from moving down two or more divisions.  It was decided that if a team wishes to obtain a player that fits this scenario, then that team must partition the Board to ensure that the player can move.  Motion to pass the rule was passed unanimously.  New Rule 2:  Rule in Section 3 of Article II - Uniforms and Equipment will be updated to include any monies owed by a player to the team.  Any official complaint must be filed within the same season before the Annual meeting in August.  Motion to pass the rule was passed unanimously.
* Contact Information - Please contact your director if you have not yet received a contact list.  All teams are reminded to review the list for accuracy and any updates should be emailed to Ann at adobija@visteon.com.
* Rosters - A copy of the official roster must be sent to Lisa Chiodo. Please contact Lisa to make arrangements.  Also, please send your roster via email to Ann so that your team page can be updated with the most recent players (i.e. send number and players name only, coaches and managers name).  Official Rosters must be completed prior to playing any games with officials.
* Ruicci Cup - Ann will contact Kristen Krug regarding the creation of a tournament guide book.
* Team Standings - Division standings will be reviewed during the November meeting to determine if there is any potential movement required at the end of the first half of the season.  Teams are reminded that no movement will occur unless they are dominating or being obliterated.
