The Board discussed expanding the advantages and disadvantages of expanding the season. There will be an increase in fees of $63.50 for referees, and the season for minors and intermediates will start in December rather than January. There will be less practice time before the season starts. There will probably be more weekends with multiple games. After the discussion, the Board passed by majority vote a motion to expand the season from 10 to 12 games.
Numerous rule changes recommended by the Rules Committee were discussed and considered. The changes attached hereto were adopted.
New Business
The Board considered whether practices should be allowed on the Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday before Thanksgiving. The primary concern was whether it is fair to teams whose practices fall on Thursday and Friday to allow other teams to practice during that week. The majority of attendees voted to allow practices on Monday through Wednesday.
Vice-President Bob Kindervater discussed changes in practice time. He has been able to keep the approximately the same amount of practice time for this season. This was accomplished, in part, by trading some gym time on Fridays with the boys for other nights. He also discussed the difficulties of allotting gym time.
Announcements
Practices will start on November 12, 2012. Associations may begin sign-ups at any time.
There will be a clinic for voting representatives at the October meeting to address the duties and responsibilities of the representatives.
Meeting adjourned.
