VII . NON-ACTION ITEMS, ISSUES, FIRST READINGS
NA-1 OFFICIALS CONTRACT
The Officials contract runs through 2008-2009. Negotiations need to start in September. Do we proceed as in the past or do look at something else? Ie, set a maximum fee and allow for competition; let leagues set fees, with CIF CS setting the play-off fee…other.
NA- 2 WYL PROPOSAL FOR PLAY-OFF REVENUE
For some time now the schools in the WYL have been concerned with the distribution of profits following a central section playoff. Currently the visiting team(s) takes no responsibility for the organization and set-up required for the competition, yet they take 30% of the profits. Logically, host sites doing all the work to run a play-off event should receive more than the visiting team who has little responsibility. Case in point, in the water polo championships, where multiple teams compete, each team gets a portion of the profit. It has happened that a host school has run a multi-team event and after expenses walks away with little or no profit.
In addition, CIF takes 40%. Since CIF is financially in a better position than they have been in recent years, they may not need to take such a large portion. However this issue is resolved, we would like to see if we can adjust the percentages, in order to better support the host school.
In short, if we wish to make it attractive to schools to host quality play off events, we must establish a system which allows incentive for them to do so.
At the last WYL meeting held on February 19, 2008, the following proposal for distribution of funds from play off games was approved for your consideration:
40% to Host Team
35% to CIF
25% to the Visiting Team(s)
For playoffs which distribute to CIF and Host only, we propose:
65% to host team
35% to CIF
NA- 3 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE WATER POLO PLAY-OFFS PROPOSAL
The Executive Committee proposes that all Water Polo play-off games be played at the home sight of the highest seeded team up to the finals, which will be played in site approved by the Water Polo Committee.
RATIONALE: Schools who do not have teams playing are being asked to host out of town teams, do all of the work, and make no money. It is also costly to send two teams to an approved pool, possibly out of town, when they could be playing in a pool they have played in all year.
NA- 4 CENTRAL SECTION CIF CONSTITUTION 31 C
Current language has the President appointing Chairs of the Sports Advisory Committees with approval of the Board of Managers. The Executive Committee feels that should fall under the duties of the Commissioner as he/she is the one who works directly with those Chairs. It would still take Board approval.
NA- 5 CENTRAL SECTION CIF CONSTITUTION 31 C
Current language states the same sports advisory chair shall chair both boys and girls sports. The Executive Committee recommends…EACH SPORT SHALL HAVE A BOYS AND GIRLS CHAIR PERSON.
NA-6 VOLLEYBALL COMMITTEE REPORT
The Committee is proposing that the Central Section coaches use MAXPREPS for posting all results and that MAXPREPS will be the information used for seeding purposes.
NA-7 SOCCER COMMITTEE REPORT
The Soccer committee is proposing changes to the Soccer governing rules.
1) If a player accrues five (5) yellow cards during the regular season, s/he is suspended for the next game.
2) For the play-offs the count starts over. When a player accrues three (3) yellow cards during the play-off season, s/he is suspended for the next play-off game.
3) There are no changes to the current RED card system. (One scenario needs explanation. When a player has accrued 3 yellow cards during the regular season, and then receives 2 yellow cards in a game, that player sits out the next two games, one for the 2 yellow cards and 1 for the accrual of the 5 yellow cards.)
4) The definition of fighting—Causing or attempting to cause harm to another player. The penalties have not changed.
5) During an altercation on the field during a game, if one or more players enters the field from the bench and contributes NEGATIVELY to the altercation, that team forfeits the game.
6) The termination of a game will result in a double forfeit. If a school participates in a second terminated game, that team will not be eligible for the play-offs that year.
7) For unsportsmanlike behavior, when a coach accrues three (3) yellow cars at anytime during the season, regular and play-offs, s/he is suspended for the next game.
