·  Bill presented a draft Ranking Procedures for Duke City Soccer League (2005-2006). Board accepted wording for U7, U8, U9 and U11. One minor change made to the U10 proposal: “U10 – will be ranked by random draw….”

·  Need a procedure to handle emergency exits for the Farmers Insurance Soccer Complex in Bernalillo. The complex was closed during the 3:00 pm games due to the weather service issuing a tornado warning. Lots of cars and only one exit out of the complex – took people about an hour to exit the complex.

·  Reference the Duke City Referee List for 2004-2005 (Team referees vs number of games referred for the fall is low)

·  One team that has gone over 60 discipline points – coach has been advised that he can not attend the next game. Suspensions will carry forward into State Cup.

·  The complex does not have a vendor to sell concessions. Need someone to volunteer to sell drinks at the 1st 2 state cup weekends.

·  Changes made to the Coaches Handbook – Board okay with the proposed changes.

·  Older teams still need to makeup games from the season – the complex is open the following Tuesday. Please call Bill and Kathy to schedule.

·  Non-DCSL teams in developmental play. DCSL charges $8/player * 8 players @ $64.00/team.

·  How do we penalize a team that plays games with illegal players? Assign 30 points to the team and suspend the coach for 2 games, if playing on the metro schedule.

·  What do we do if a player is a repeat offender (i.e. fighting during games). Bill will write a suggested way to handle repeat offenders.

·  Tryouts (See handout). Adds for tryout newspaper deadline is 4/28/05 - $100.00 (full page), $60.00 (half page).

·  Thank you to AUFC for giving DCSL a check in the amount of $728.25 from Gaylord Sheppard tournament of 2 years ago.

·  DCSL Representatives at the next AGM meeting will support the proposed NMYSA changes that entails savings for DCSL (i.e. increase player fees to $3.00/player and eliminate fees for guest players and travel rosters). Motion made by Dave Seidel. Corey Cruz seconded the motion. Motion was accepted and passed.
