New Business:

a. SUB players: a SUB player of 2 points higher can be used if no player is available in the same ranking number. There are seven guys who evaluate the players and issue an average number for each player; therefore the player could have 2 or 3 higher numbers than the number assigned as an average for that player. Example: a 15-ranked player is probably just as good as a 17. Pitcher Dan Phelka 21 and Bob Q. 19 – they are both even players. After discussion, it was decided by the Board that this requires a rule change request (RCR) to be submitted and reviewed by the Rules Committee.

b. PCSSA purchase and maintain bats for all travel teams playing games outside of Pebblecreek. A minimum of 9 bats shall be on hand for use. We have seven (7) teams consisting of 13 to 15 players or more for each team and all ranks of A through D players on one team or another. The Board voted unanimously 7-0 not to approve this proposal.

c. Permission to use the Pebblecreek ball park for Spring and Summer games with teams from other communities was unanimously approved by the Board with the understanding it will be limited to two games every other week only.

d. Permission to use the Pebblecreek ball park for West Valley games for Pebblecreek players versus another team, playing 2 games, if needed, due to a rain out day when we could offer to play the makeup games at Pebblecreek. They probably would not play the games at Pebblecreek, BUT would like to be able to make that offer instead of Pebblecreek having to forfeit games because Pebblecreek makeup games are being played on Monday. Approved by the Board if it doesn’t interfere with any other PCSSA practice schedules.

e. Formulizing the Summer league to run much like regular season (sponsors, balancing and scheduling) was unanimously approved by the Board.

With no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 6:30 p.m. The next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, February 21, 2011 at 5:00 p.m. at the Tuscany Falls Sienna Room.

Respectfully Submitted,

Ted Wallace
