Novak, Lenny Pappas Jr., Sue Novak, Keith Kaz, Larry Blais, John Laliberte, Eric Milanese.
Teams Represented: Cercle 1&2, Davignon 1&2, Deerhead
Discussed:
1.
Playoffs:
In the first half we went to 5 matches in the play offs. John Laliberte
suggested we keep the 6 matches in the second half. All presented agreed to playing six
matches. It was brought up that this
runs the risk of a tie game of three matches each and tie score. Although this is a possibility it was felt
that the likelihood of it happening was very slim. Therefore, it was agreed if that did happen a
7th game would be played with players who had not yet played a
match. There is no ghosting in
playoff. Please have seven players available for
playoffs!
Sue will be available
by phone or text to help with the handicap points to make sure ties are
determined before end of match.
2.
Player dues:
Any player dues that are still owed needs to get to Tom LeBlanc ASAP.
3.
League Point System: We had
discussed, at the beginning of the year, paying points to players from the
player dues. Captains were responsible
for recording 3-, 4-, 5-, and 6-pocket runs and points were made for these
runs. A 3-pocket run earned 1 point,
4-pocket earned 2 points, 5-pocket earned 3 points, and 6-pocket earned 4
points. A total of 340 points were
reported. Although this was higher than
we anticipated, all but 18 players recorded at least one 1 point. However, because so many points were
recorded, we decided to not pay points for this year but continue with the gift
cards and put more money into the games.
4.
Banquet: Jeff Yule will again be providing the meal
and the Cercle will be providing entertainment at the
end of the night. Banquet starts at 2 pm
with meal being served about 4 pm, awards will be presented and games will be
played before the evening’s entertainment.
5.
Handicap
Committee: We will be establishing a
handicap committee to determine player handicaps. Each team captain will nominate one player
from their team for the committee. The board will choose four people from these
nominees to serve on the Handicap Committee.
None of these players should be team captains, but the nominees should
be people who know who the players are and how they play in comparison to other
players in the league. Lenny will serve
on the committee as the league president and will be a tie-breaker vote
only. Sue will also serve as a
non-voting member to provide stats on players and record changes to player
handicaps. The committee will meet in
late July - early August to determine handicaps for next year. Complaints on handicaps will go to the
handicap committee.
6.
Sue will continue
to record stats and standings in the 2024-2025 season and Lenny will stay on as
League president for another year both of them serving with the anticipation of
stepping down at the end of the 2024-2025 season.
7.
Eric Milanese was
elected at Vice President of the league, replacing Eric Bourgeois.
Respectfully,
Sue Novak
