Old Business:
1.
Start Time – Start time will be at 6:30 beginning May
25th.
2.
Coaching Players (“Time out”) – For your own
benefit, mark the time outs used on the score sheet. The seven time outs seems
to be appropriate. No one has used all
seven in a night. I created a new scoresheet for the singles league and will make available
on web site.
3.
Reporting Results – Everyone is doing a great job of recording
the information needed and sending results at the end of play each night. Make sure your picture is of the entire score
sheet and not blurry.
4.
League Accounting & Collecting Fees – Everyone seems to
be turning in weekly fees in a timely manner.
Please keep up the good work.
5.
Handicap Changes – Is anyone’s handicap grossly off? The only change that was needed was Vince Hurd should be raised to a 6. It was felt we needed a few more weeks to
determine whether Mike Nuenfedlt and Rick Campbell
needed adjusting.
New Business:
1.
Player
stats – I showed an example of the player stats collected. It was recommended that we add a column for
pockets against and % of pockets against.
So these will be added to the stats.
2.
How
does everyone feel the summer singles league is going so far? Everyone feels that the league is going
well. Everyone is having fun and playing
well, the handicap seems to be working well, scores are being sent in by all
the captains, and
3.
Payout
Suggestion. – I put together a suggested payout paying out the entire
purse. A couple of changes were made
which leaves a small amount to be used for a rotating trophy and misc expenses. We will vote on a final payout later in the
league. A player can only collect one
prize and they must have played at least six matches in order to be eligible
for a payout.
4.
Playoffs
– We had originally said we would have four teams in the playoffs. It was suggested that, since we only have 5
teams that we guarantee first and second place are in the playoffs and then we
draw from the remaining teams for the wildcard.
The first week would be a bye for the top finishing team with 2nd
and the wild card playing. To get the
wild card draw, each team would get a number of chances based on where they
finished after the 15 weeks. For example
3rd would get 5 chances, 4th – 3 chances and 5th
– 1 chance. All nine chances would be
put in a hat and the wildcard position drawn.
It was suggested that we table this until after the captains can talk
with their players and get suggestions from them.
Next meeting – pending date - many of the
players will be in Vegas between week 8 and 9.
Time will be at 6:30 pm.
Meeting adjourned at 7:45.
