Thank you to the many Board members who
have provided articles and information |
|
Requests from a number of Adult players
for SHORTER tournament formats.
Suggesting a brief survey that would ask three questions:
How
far are you willing to travel for a one-day tournament?
What is the best time of day to start adult tournaments?
What is the best time to COMPLETE an
adult tournament? |

Conflicts of Interest
Since the individual Board members have
taken a more proactive role in Region leadership, there have
been many more issues and discussions about apparent conflicts
of interest.
Since most Board members have an
apparent potential for conflicts, it is imperative that
all Board members conduct themselves in a joint or team manner,
to insure that the membership is aware they are being treated
fairly by the Board.
Actions that can prevent the appearance
of conflict are often as little as:
Having the business
manager/commissioner/secretary communicate answers back to the
members, or
Insuring that the members understand
that any action by a Board member may be appealed through the
office of the Commissioner, any applicable standing committee,
and/or by initiating a request through any member of the Board
of Directors. |

Referee database – Marty, Mike Bill & Jennifer after the
meeting
|
|
As a result of the incomplete reporting of clinics and ratings,
as well as delays in updating the Officials database, the Region
will give deference to candidates and recertifying officials
regarding completion of requirements
|
|
There is no National requirement for Certified Junior referees
in either Championship or Competition/Club level.
|
|
Boys Regionals will be 11 Courts on 1 day, March 4, 2001.
|
|
As a result of a shortage of non-playing officials, the Region
may need to re-evaluate requirements for teams to have referees.
Annual meeting agenda item.
|
|
Keystone Region has 2 Candidates for Junior National Referee to
be rated at the Northeast Qualifier: Gale House, Ph.D., and William E. Jones
|
|
No National Referee candidates from the Region for this year.
|
|
More information to REFEREES and TOURNAMENT DIRECTORS about how
they are to be compensated, and that they are to be compensated
by the tournament hosts, not the participating teams. |

Only 2 games rated are required for R2

1, p 8, February, 2001"ed.) |

for Juniors in the KRVA Juniors Operating Code. |

week, or alternatively a credit of $85.00 out of $125.00

Region may need to develop a policy regarding tournament
cancellation, and weather related problems. |
|
Visitor Kim Zieger spoke about the issue, and advised that she
has established an e-mail chain to communicate her displeasure
about the handling of weather related cancellations in the
future. |

Albright College’s Gym is too cold. |
|
What level of variance from “identical” is “similar”
including both shirts and shorts.
If the Region will not enforce a strict policy of “similar/like/identical”
uniforms for Region run or sanctioned events, then the rules
should be modified to avoid a disparity of compliance among
Region teams. |

Feedback from the Region is that a sufficient number of Impact
Clinics were held |
|
Still a demand for a weekend long CAP
clinic, but issues as to scheduling and availability. |
|
In that the CAP clinic was previously budgeted for 2001, the
Coordinator will submit a proposal and funding request to the
Executive Committee for consideration PRIOR to the next General
meeting of the Board of Directors. |
