(2) A district board or private school governance board requests participation for its students;

(3) The league against which these teams plan to compete grants approval prior to Section approval;

(4) Approval of the Section is granted;

(5) It is understood by the officials of the requesting school(s) that this request is granted for up to a two-year term. If a request to continue is granted, it may be granted for additional terms if all provisions are met;

(6) That schools and districts recognize that such “outside teams” are not granted status as league members nor do they qualify for league, Section or State playoffs or championships;

(7) An administrator of one of the requesting schools agrees to accept responsibility and supervision of the team and agrees that students will meet eligibility requirements expected of students in CIF member schools.

Bylaw 206 Revision

206. RESIDENTIAL ELIGIBILITY

A. Initial Residential Eligibility

b. Valid Change of Residence

Determination of what constitutes a valid change of residence depends upon the facts in each case, however, to be considered, the following facts must exist:

(i) The original residence must be abandoned as a residence by the immediate family; AND

(ii) The student’s entire immediate family must make the change and take with them the household goods and furniture appropriate to the circumstances. For eligibility purposes, a family unit may not maintain two or more residences; AND

(iii) “There is no evidence of an athletically motivated move or that the student enrolled in that school in whole or in part for athletic reasons (See Bylaw 200).”

(iv)The change of residence must be genuine, without fraud or deceit, and with permanent intent; AND

NOTE: A student whose family makes a valid move into a new school boundary (See “iv” below) is immediately residentially eligible for varsity competition. A subsequent move into a different school boundary by the family (or other family members) during the next 12 calendar months will result in the student being declared ineligible until cleared for competition by the Section Commissioner.

~~(iv)~~ (v)Evidence must be submitted that a valid change of residence has occurred. No single document listed below or combination thereof establishes residency. The Section Commissioner and/or school has the discretion to request additional documents that he/she deems necessary to confirm residency. Evidence may include:

A high school student who transfers to or from the status of a full-time resident at a 24-hour boarding school shall be residentially eligible immediately on the first transfer, but all residence requirements shall apply on any subsequent transfer. To be considered a 24-hour boarding school student, the student must have resided in the boarding school for a period of 50 days immediately prior to the transfer.

B) If an athlete is caught circumventing the rules regarding the weigh-in procedure, that athlete will be ineligible for 365 days from the date of the infraction.

AI-5 GOLF

1. Stoke play should be based on Par 72.

a. We play qualifying rounds on golf courses that are all not par 72’s.

b. To equal out qualifying scores throughout the valley we need to adjust scores to par 72.

Ex. Courses with a Par 70= Players need to add 2 to their score. ( Kern River )

Courses with Par 73= Players need to subtract 1 from their score. (Girls Par at Arvin)

2. Boy’s league and area qualifying tournaments should all be played from the Blue Tees .

2a. Course that have tees further than the Blue tees, the area commissioner will determine which tees will be used for the tournament. Ex. Dinuba and River Lakes have multiple tees past the blues.

Issue:

In the past some of these tournaments have been played from the white tees. Since we cannot play on courses with the same distance and slope, the golf advisory feels we should attempt to keep the qualifying tournaments as close to the same as possible.

3. Lowering the qualifying scores to the Area and Valley tournaments: Boys 85; Girls 100

Boys score goes from 90 to 85

Girls go from 105 to 100

Improve the quality of golf.

Girls in the mid 90’s and low 100 are not competitive with the field, the play has greatly improved from the past (1^st year girls were in the 200’s), this year in the valley tournament one of the girls shot 82 and did not qualify for the southern sectional.

Boys have had no score over 76 the last four years qualify for the sectional.

We need to help out the golf courses who have been willing to accommodate us in the past by less pressure of golfers.

This should improve the pace of play giving the players that actually have a chance to qualify a reasonable round of golf.

AI-6 WATER POLO ADVISORY COMMITTEE REPORT

The Water Polo Committee proposes the following be added to the January 27, 2010 Section meeting agenda:

1. Section 5.1.1 - Edit the section to read "Section finals and Semi-Finals shall be limited to....".

The committee feels the language should emphasize approved pools. The finals and semi-finals are important games and the venue should be appropriate.

2. Delete Lemoore from the list of approved pools.

The committee also feels that despite the "higher seed" language, certain pools should not be used for any playoff. Al the present time, the League Commissioners have the discretion to move playoff games from pools that definitely hinder play, pose a hazard to players or cannot be officiated adequately.

3. The committee supports the following revisions to divisional realignment in water polo.

A. DIVISION I GIRLS DIVISION I BOYS

1. Delete Madera 1. Delete Hoover

2. Delete Redwood 2. Add Porterville

3. Add Golden West

4. Add Edison

B. DIVISION II GIRLS DIVISION II BOYS

1. Delete Golden West 1. Delete Hoover

4. The committee requests that playoffs be scheduled so that all championships end on the same day.

5. The committee proposes that Commissioners consolidate genders for the Championships; Girls at one site, Boys at one site.

The Committee feels that this puts top officials at the same site. In addition this gives other players, coaches, and parents the opportunity to see final games in all 3 Divisions.

Under the present rule, the site (at an approved pool) goes to the higher seeded team.

6. Modify the two week format to: Tuesday/Wednesday first round - Saturday quarter finals

Tuesday/Wednesday semifinals - Saturday Championship

Splitting boys and girls mid-week is best for officials. Saturday allows for more games and ability of officials to work multiple sites or games.

7. The Committee recommends defeat of the 26 contact proposal.

8. The Committee recommends that Section Water Polo continues to be a Championship.

AI-7 PENALTY FOR NOT PAYING PLAY-OFFS FEES ON TIME

As of Jan. 12, 2010….there were 30 plus schools who had not paid their Play-off fees or turned in their paper work as required within the 30 day window as required by Section by-laws. The penalty for failure to do so is to not be allowed to host thee next fall. The penalty has been enforced, but on some occasions, the school does not enter the play-offs the next year. The Executive Committee is recommending a fine system for failure to meet the deadline.:

Pay with in the first 30 days----NO PENALTY

Pay after 30 days and before 45 days---A 5% fine from the host school’s profit

Pay after the first 45 days--- A 10% fine from the host school’s profit

AI-8 PROPOSED BUDGET 2010-2011

Attached is a Proposed Budget for the 2010/2011 school year. Highlights include the following:

Revenue

Revenue has increased in the areas of Support Programs and Playoff Proceeds.

Expenditures

Salaries have remained the same to reflect a 0% increase for all employees.

Benefits show an increase due to underestimating PERS contribution in the last budget.

Operating Expenses shows an increase mainly due to an increase in Awards – more medals and championship hats.

The proposed budget is again balanced with an estimated surplus of $2,756 for the 2010/2011 school year.

A-1 DIVISIONS FOR 2010-2012

A-2 NUMBER OF CONTESTS

Currently teams and individuals are allowed a maximum number of contacts per sport. Tournaments are counted as 2 contacts, and doubleheaders count as 1 contact.

PROPOSAL: Raise the number of contacts from 20 to 26 for example, but each contact will count as a point toward the total.

RATIONALE: Levels the playing field so some schools don’t get in 34-40 games and others 18. Also, cuts down on travel costs and cost of officials.

PROPOSED NUMBER OF CONTESTS

GOLF 18

TENNIS 26

VOLLEYBALL 26

WATER POLO 26

BASKETBALL 26

SOCCER 26

BASEBALL 26

SOFTBALL 26

BADMINTON 26

Tennis/Badminton 26 In tournaments where other than regularly-timed or regularly

scored contests are played, each day of that tournament shall count as one (1) contest.

Soccer 26 Counts as a ½ game if played less that 35 min. halves.

Volleyball 26 Any 2 out of 3 contests played in a tournament shall count as

½ of a contest. In pool play, If 2 contests are played, but a third would not be played regardless of the outcome, it will count as ½ of a contest.

In tournaments where a championship is determined by an additional contest pitting two “pool” or bracket winners, that CHAMPIONSHIP contest will NOT count. Any other game, 3^rd place/consolation championship, etc.will count as a contest point.

A-3 UNIFORMS—

A-4 TRACK ADVISORY COMMITTEE REPORT

1) Move Reedley and Sanger back to the Central Section for area Track meets

2) Approve submitted Invitational Meets dates for 2011-2012

3) Raise entry fee from $180, to $200 per school for Invitationals

A-5 WRESTLING ADVISORY COMMITTEE REPORT

CENTRAL SECTION WRESTLING OFFICIALS

SELECTION PROCESS FOR THE VALLEY/MASTERS CHAMPIONSHIPS PROPOSAL

Proposal:

An evaluation/ranking process will be established. This evaluation/ranking form is to be sent directly to the CIF Evaluator.

Ø Three (3) Central Section tournaments may be designated

as “Evaluation” tournaments (one in each Area of the Central Section).

Ø An evaluator (selected by the CIF) will be at those tournaments and will evaluate/rank the officials according to the evaluation form.

Ø Ten (10) coaches from each Official’s Association’s Area (Kern, Tulare , SJVOA, and CSOA) will be selected by that Area’s Supervisor, to evaluate/rank the officials at those tournaments as well as throughout the season. They will rank them as a 1, 2, 3 or 4. Ideally, those ten coaches would represent both large schools and small schools equally.

Ø The coaches’ evaluations will be sent directly to the CIF Officials Evaluator. This person will be selected by the Central Section Commissioner.

RANKING PROCESS:

Ø Area Supervisors are required to send a list of “potential” officials to be considered to work the Valley Championships and Masters, to the CIF Commissioner (Jim Crichlow). This list must also be sent the CIF Wrestling Representative (Chris Hansen) for evaluation purposes, by December 4, 2009.

Ø Each Area Supervisor will send out a list of their Top 10 officials to a select group of coaches in their Area (10 is recommended, 5-Lg. school and 5-Sm. school).

Ø Those coaches and the Evaluator will rank each official as a “1”, “2”, “3” or “4”

§ A “1” signifies that the official is capable of working the State Tournament and everything below.

§ A “2” represents their ability to work the Masters and below.

§ A “3” represents their ability to work the League and other varsity tournaments.

§ A “4” represents their ability level to be at the JV level

Ø In order for an official to qualify and/or be considered to work a Valley Championship, he must be ranked a “1” or “2”.

Ø The following areas will be considered;

o Knowledge of the Rules/Spirit of the Rules

o Judgment

o Mechanics

o Professionalism

Once all of the Central Section Wrestling officials have been evaluated, ranked, and sent to the Central Section Wrestling Representative, he will compile a list of the Top 20 (in order of ranking 1-20). He will in turn, send that list to the supervisors of each official’s association. Using that information, each area will send their officials to each of the Valley Championships, using section guidelines.

According to the rankings, Officials ranked 1-8 will automatically be assigned to the Masters Championships (regardless of Area Affiliation), with 9 and 10 as alternates.

The Top 18 ranked officials will be assigned to each Valley Championships by their area supervisor. Supervisors are encouraged to use the rankings as a guideline when making those assignments and send only those ranked in the Top 18 (with officials 19 and 20 as alternates) to the Large and Small School Valley Championships.

Division I Valley Championships:

Ø 12 officials are needed on Friday and 8 Officials are needed on Saturday.

Ø Each Area Supervisor will send its top officials as determined by the evaluation process, (they must be ranked a “1” or “2”) to the Division I Championships. Three (3) from each Association.

ü It is recommended that of the Top 8 ranked officials, five (5) be used in the Yosemite Division and three (3) be used in the Small School Division.

ü It is further recommended that Ranked Officials 12-18 be used at the Yosemite Divisional and Ranked Officials 9-11 be used at the Small School Division.

Ø Of those 12 that will officiate on Friday, all 12 must have been ranked in the Top 18. Two (top 18 ranked) officials from each Area Association will be assigned by the Area supervisors and brought back for Saturday’s competition.

Division II (small schools) Championships: Six (6) Officials are needed both days.

Ø 6 officials are needed on Friday and 6 Officials are needed on Saturday. All 6 must have been ranked in the top 18, with 3 having been ranked in the Top 8, to insure that our highest quality of officials are represented at both Valley Championships.

Ø All four (4) of the officials that work day 1 of the Division II Valley, must have been ranked in the Top 12. Each Area Official’s Supervisor will determine which of those officials are assigned. They will be assigned to work the Saturday Div. II Championships by the Area Supervisors, as well.

Ø The other two (2) officials needed (they too, must have been ranked in the Top 18) (6 total) will be determined by Area.

§ If the tournament is held in the North Area, one (1) will come from the CSOA and one (1) from the SJVOA.

§ If the tournament is held in the South, one (1) will come from Kern and one (1) from Tulare .

§ If the tournament is held in the Central, one will come from the Tulare, with the second (2nd) official being selected on a rotating alphabetical schedule;

· CSOA (N)

· KCOA (S)

· SJVOA (N)

· Tulare (C)

If a “Ranked” official is not available from the list of officials from a specific area, then another Area will be given the choice to provide a “ranked” official, using the above rotating alphabetical order.

RATIONALE

v As a CIF Section, we try to do what’s best for our sport(s) i.e. selection of facilities.

v We always want our best wrestlers represented at the State Championship.

v The number of officials used at each tournament is the same as in the past. No greater expense to the CIF.

v Distribution is fair and performance based.

v Everyone has input, including coaches.

v The “Best” officials are being assigned to the most important/qualifying tournaments.

v Currently, the Central Section has no Central Section Wrestling Officials returning to the 2010 State Wrestling Championships.
