Teams Represented: Cercle 1-4, Davignon 1-3, Deerhead, Workmens.
Discussed:
1.
League format: It was discussed whether teams would play five
or six matches per night of league play to allow more team members to play each
week. After much discussion it was
decided to play six matches during league play and five matches during
playoff. Under this format ghost playing
would be allowed with the opposing team choosing the player to play the ghost
match. No more than 2 ghost
matches a night. Workmen’s felt they would not be able to field a team if
playing six matches a night as they would probably have to ghost two matches
every week. Their players will be
available for other teams.
2.
Team Dues:
Team dues are what pays for the 1st
and 2nd place payout. After
some discussion it was decided to increase the clubs dues to $100 for the first
team and $50 for each additional team.
It was also decided that it was not necessary to payout to the winning
team.
3.
Player dues:
The player dues go to paying for the banquet meal and the money games
that are played at the banquet.
Discussion resulted in raising the player dues to $40 for the season
($20/half paid by the 4th week of the half). There will be 21 weeks of league play and 6
weeks of playoffs for the season. So the
$40 works out to about $1.50 per week per player which is much less than
players pay in the APA leagues)
4.
League Point System: The
fee would be $5 per week when the player played. Players could elect to participate in the
point payout but if they played a week and did not pay the $5 they would not be
eligible for any payout. They could not
elect to start playing in the payout if they did not start on the first week of
their play. The rule would be to
participate for every week of their play or not participate at all. It was felt that this should be tabled at
this time. Sue will still keep track of the runs so
captains need to record these on their weekly sheet for both teams.
5.
Sign up sheets will
be posted at the Davignon and Cercle
clubs. Please sign up as soon as
possible.
6.
It was stated that clubs should supply drink
tickets to the players for both teams that play (6
tickets/team/night).
British and Cercle 5 would not be fielding teams. Several of their players will be available to
other teams.
