Meeting – Kelly attended the League Meeting. A change was made to the rules
regarding a player that has to leave the game. That player will just be skipped
in the roster and it will not count as an out against the team.
Each organization within the league is to weigh the pros and cons of extending
the 14 and under age group to 15 and under and let Herb know at the next
meeting. (DAGSA is undecided on this rule)
Each organization was asked to relay their opinion on changing the unlimited
innings in the 10 and under ago group to a 6 run limit during regular season.
(DAGSA is not in favor of this rule)
A physical location is needed for league scheduling.
