3. Clarification to the rule for post game table use.

PRE-GAME AND POST-GAME TABLE USE AND SEATING

a. Visiting teams shall have the courtesy of the use of the table upon which the match is to be played one-half hour before each match and shall also receive preferential courtesy in seating arrangements for the captain and co-captain. The home team will set aside a table for the captain/co-captain near the game table.

b. Visiting teams shall have priority use of the table upon which the match was played after all matches end. This means the visiting team’s players, that want to play after the match, will be placed on the top of the board for the match table. Home team players will then be placed on the list. Once a team loses their name goes to the bottom of the list if they still want to play.

c. All visiting teams shall abide by the home team's club rules or house rules while on the premises of the home team.

4. FYI – A blank scoresheet is on the site – it is available to download and use. It contains the 15 time outs on the bottom of the sheet. It can be found under other information!

5. Asking for a hit - clarification - the incoming player is the only person who can ask for a hit - not the captain and not the partner, and certainly not anyone else on the team!

Old Business:

1. Time Outs – Some captains feel that the fifteen time-outs allowed seem to be too many but will not be changed at this time.

2. Hall of Fame Committee – Paul Cere and Chuck Wiggin Jr. have discussed some names for the hall of fame, more information to the board will come at a later date.

3. Banquet committee – the committee will consist of Tom Leblanc, Eric Bourgeois, Sue Novak, and maybe Kim Janelle.

Next meeting will be between week eight and nine of league play. Since Tuesday is Halloween we will have the meeting on Wednesday, November 1^st at Davignon at 6:30 PM.

Meeting adjourned at 7:35 pm.

Respectfully,

Sue Novak

Secretary
