Final 2010 Winter League & Tournament Reports – Fran Zelinkoff.
NEW BUSINESS – The five Motions to be voted on are below:
MOTION 1. Made by Fran Zelinkoff, 2nd by ___________________________. Because the teams in the top two divisions are so competitive and are getting so much stronger, move to make the rules for Division 1 and 2 the same. The top of the current CSVA League Rules and Policies sheet would then read: RULES SPECIFIC FOR DIVISIONS 1 AND 2.
Rationale: The move between Div 1 and 2 is not mandatory, but lately the top Div 2 team is opting to move up to Div 1 (and likewise, next Fall the last two teams in Div must move down to Div 2 to get Div 1 back to 6 teams). It would make for a much easier transition if the rules were the same for those two higher very competitive divisions.
MOTION 2. Made by Rose Surprenant, 2nd by ____________________________. For all divisions that have a requirement for a female player, one position in the rotation must be designated as a “female position,” and there must be a female in the position at all times. Rationale: This is a recreational league that encourages female participation. The encouragement to participate implies full partnership in participation.
MOTION 3. Made by Rose Surprenant, 2nd by ____________________________. Results from play need to be to Fran by 5:45 pm on the day of play so she can post the results. Winning teams that do not email or call her by that time would lose a “win” and gain a “loss.” (She prefers email). Rationale: The website is used by all and much appreciated. Players that do not respect the time to compute results should be penalized. It would only happen once. In case of hardship, bad weather, or extenuating circumstances there can be an exception.
MOTION 4. Made by Fran Zelinkoff, 2nd by _____________________________. Move to discontinue the March and December CSVA end-of-league tournaments. Rationale: (1) These two tournaments have always been considered "play days" and haven't ever counted for league placement because so many teams are playing shorthanded: Their working players can't take that much time off to play in them; in March, they are already into baseball season; and in December, the holidays are such busy times. (2) CSVA has grown to 48 teams and it is becoming very difficult to obtain two-court sites, volunteer site directors, and 18 good referees for 9 tournament divisions. (3) There are only a few Rec Centers (Commerce City, Whitlock in Lakewood, Westminster, and Greeley) that actually have two courts available and can or will donate them all day (or two days at Commerce City) as part of their Senior Volleyball Program.
MOTION 5. Made by Bill Breithaupt, 2nd by __________________________. Move to form a 5 person group to look into splitting the league, forming a North Div. and a Metro Div. Rationale: To keep the driving distance down.
Any other new business?
Next CSVA Board Meeting will be Thursday, August 5, 2010.
