Treasurer report – The beginning balance as of 9/9/16,
transferred from Ray Paquin, was $822.21, we added $235 from banquet, paid out
$75 for non-profit status reinstatement and $23.95 to set up bank account and
to purchase checks. We have received $1200
team dues, and $1620 player dues for a total of $3778.26 as of 10/4/16.
Player’s fee and team
dues should be left at the Cercle National - Attention Tom LeBlanc - by October
7th. Please be sure to included team name and
state whether it is team dues or player’s fee.
2.
Rosters were updated and are now final
for this half. Only changes are if
someone was missed on the roster or should not be on the roster. Player’s fees will be based on this final
roster. Get these to Tom LeBlanc as soon
as possible – if not paid by play-offs the team will not be able to play in the
play-offs.

2016 Handicap –
review, revise and approve system
Each player has been
given a ranking by the handicap committee based on a 2-7 scale. This was reviewed and updated by the entire
board – any additional changes will be made by the handicap committee. The handicaps will be updated on the final
rosters and posted on the web site. All
scores were retroactively changed and standings updated.
How the bonus works is: Each players is
given a ranking. This ranking will be
used and the 10 players playing will be totaled. The team with the lower total ranking will
receive the bonus. Each point difference
in total rankings of the teams will equal three quarters of a bonus point for
the team. This will be rounded down to
the nearest whole number for the lower ranking team. (Example: The difference in ranking points is
7. (7 * 0.75 = 5.25). This would be 5 bonus points for the lower
ranking team.) No match will exceed a 30
maximum even if the game total plus the bonus exceeds 30.
4.
After discussing a situation which occurred
Friday, September 30, it was stated that
NO PERSON, other than
the players, captains and co-captains, will be allowed around the tables during
the matches. Only the captains, co-captains and partners will be allowed to
give advice about the game on the table.
It is considered unsportsmanlike conduct and the offending player could
cause his team to forfeit that match if the conduct continues after a warning
has been given to discontinue the behavior.
Old
Business:
1.
Singles and Doubles locations – I spoke with Jim
Dubois on 9/9/16 regarding the criteria for the Workmen’s to host the Doubles
tournament. I pointed out in the minutes
the decision that was made at last meeting on the Workmen’s holding the doubles. The minutes state “Since Workmen’s does not have enough space to hold the doubles in the
main club, they will only get tournament if they move the tables to the hall
like they did with the singles. If they
do not want to move the tables, then the Cercle will host the doubles.”
Tony Cote called Sue
on Sept 13th stating that the Workmen’s would be declining the
doubles tournament if they had to move the tables to the hall. Sue notified Ron and Tom Leblanc on this
decision.
Eastside has the
Singles, Cercle will host the doubles
Logistics of where
other in-house leagues play during the tournament is the responsibility of the
club and QCPL tournament has priority of play on tournament days.

Table
Rules approval was tabled until the next meeting
3. All
captains should continue to take a picture of the score sheet at the end of
each night and text message it to Sue Novak at 315-3921. This will assist in obtaining stats for the
handicaps and who is eligible to play in play-offs.
PLEASE make sure that all the sheet is shown and
that it is not blurry!
Sue
is putting this information on a spread sheet.
I will post on web site nearer to the end of the half. At play-off time you will be able to access
player eligibility.

Set next meeting date and location – November 1, 2016
