SOUTHERN CALFORINA FASTPITCH LEAGUE

2011 MANAGER POST-SEASON MEETING

SEPTEMBER 24, 2011

MINUTES

Meeting Called to order by Robert Hernandez at 10:05AM

2011 Season Recap

Robert went over the past season.  The league averaged fewer teams than normal due to the economy and players lives changing (kids in sports, babies, etc).  He explained that this has happened in the past and usually lasts 2-3 years.  Overall the competition was very good this season.

2011 Expenses

Currently there is about $5,200 in the league bank account.  $3,500 needs to remain for the start of the

2012 season

• Robert recommended that the following be purchased with the remaining money:
• New fence, this would bring the total to 2 new fences2 batteries for the drills
• It was suggested to purchase a generator and use wired drills, but that would be additional purchases on top of the generator
• Start looking for an ATV not to exceed $500
• Ron Kirby may have a lead on one
• 2012 Tournament Schedules & Locations

• The schedule for 2012 was provided at the meeting.  All dates with the exception of Las Vegas have been confirmed and reserved.
  
• Tournament Formats for both the Alliance and Master's leagues
• The formats will remain the same for the 2012. 
• Round robin followed by single elimination for the Alliance
• 3 games round robin for Masters
• 
  
• 2012 NAFA World Series
• Robert informed the group that the location for 2012 has not been determined.  It is hoped that the location will be selected shortly.
• 
  
• 2012 NAFA Master's World Series
• Carson City will once again host the Masters West
• 
  
• Umpires
•        There was discussion on the quality of umpires in the 2011 season and that they did not have much experience nor open to discussion on the field.  A vote took place to relieve Kalani Ongasis of the UIC duties.  A selection of a new UIC will take place prior to the end of this calendar year.
  

• Hotels

The host hotel will remain the same, Buena Park Inn and Suites.  This past season we exceeded the amount of rooms that we requested for every tournament. 

• Sponsorships

The league is always on the search for sponsorships and will continue again this season

• SCIFL & NAFA Boards
• There were various changes suggested to be made in the by-laws and constitution.  All were explained and voted on and passed.  Please see the attachment for the changes.
• All board members will remain in place for the 2012 season with the exception of Tournament Supervisor.  Due to personal reasons, Robert has resigned from this position.  A search will begin to have a new Tournament Supervisor in place prior to the end of the calendar year.  Robert will remain as President of the SCIFL and was elected to be on the Board in the newly created position of Master League Representative.
• 
  
• Open Discussion
• Jessie Mullen representing Palm Springs Express requested if there was a way that teams could not play same teams on Sundays that they played on Saturday in the round robin.  David Carrillo and Robert explained that the use of the seeded single elimination bracket was a fairer way when there are not enough teams to fill equal pools.  After a lengthy discussion the motion was made to bring back placing teams in separate pools, the motion died due to lack of second.
• The pitching speeds from the 2011 World Series were presented and Robert explained how the NAFA office wanted to classify pitchers on their speed.  The proposed speeds were presented and there was discussion that speeds should not be all that is made to determine a pitchers classification.  Everyone was in agreement that Robert should bring this matter back to the NAFA office and propose new speeds and guidelines for this year.  Robert will report back at the January meeting.

The meeting was adjourned at 1:30.
