Treasurer report – All teams have paid the team dues, Workmen’s
still owes for first half player dues.
Amount in account is $4858.26.
Teams should collect second half dues and these must be turned in by the
next meeting on January 17th.
Remember if a player did not play on any team in the first half, they
owe $20 for the player dues. This fee
goes towards the banquet fund.

2016 Player Ratings –
Still need to look at a few players on British American Team. Chad Taylor was the only player who needed adjusting. His rating changed from 4 to 3.
Once player ratings
are established, captains can bring to any meeting the names of individual
players they feel are improperly rated; it will be referred to the handicap
committee for review.
Players needing
review by the ratings committee on the second half roster are
Ricky
Miller from 5 to 6 Susan
Hyun 3
Keith Laliberte from 4 to 3 Melissa
Marie 3
Amanda
Laverriere from 5 to 4 Brad Pepin 5
Tom Leblanc from 4 to 3 Sue Kelly 3
Steve Ladue 4 Lucien
Anderson 4
Don Demingway

Howey 4

The
QCPL suffered the passing of another player - Hugh Muir passed on November 22,
2016. He was 90 years young and his
presence will be greatly missed.
4.
Handicap System - Do we still want to keep the
current handicap system or go back to the team rating. After some discussion on the progression of
how we got to a player rating, a motion was brought to vote. Motion was to return to the team rating. By a 6-3 decision the motion was voted down.
5.
Minimum
Player Rating - How do we work with the issue of a players breaking and running
6 but with the “handicap” the match ends with a score of 6-6. It doesn’t seem fair that “playing the
system” should allow for a tie score when the game is done.
There was a
considerable amount of heated discussion on ratings of players. The motion finally brought to the table gave
two options - making all 2 rated players a 3 rating or requiring a minimum
rating post. For example you could not
post two 2 rated players in the same match, minimum post of 5. Vote of 6-3 to make all 2 ratings a 3 rating.

2.
“Survivor Rule” – It was brought up at the
last meeting that in order to avoid forfeits a team who has less than 10 active
players on their roster should have the ability to add players at any time in
the session. After some discussion this
was tabled again. Issues to address are
a.
do
these “survivor additions” get added to rosters,
b.
how
do we rate these players,
c.
what
is the minimum number of active players on a team to use the “survivor rule” and
d.
what is the cut off for number of players
on a team where the “survivor rule” cannot be used.
