Dorothy then asked for team waiver requests. She individually asked each Club Rep to list their waiver requests and identify specifics of each. A list of these requests are attached and grouped according to the type of request made. Dorothy stated that financial activity for TASL was previously sent out via email by Becky Dearborn, Treasurer. Dorothy reviewed all the financial information in Becky's absence. Dorothy also reviewed the referee assignors for each club and asked that the Club Reps send all the required referee information to Becky. Dorothy asked Teresa Phillips, TASL Administrator to review the "game bye-date" information. She announced that most all teams have submitted their requests but she must have all of them in by Friday, February 15th. Teresa also announced TASL presently has 182 teams declared for the spring season. Dorothy suggested that a special meeting be planning to review the TASL Handbook since the meeting had to end by 9:30pm as required by Tidewater Tech. Another meeting option was to include it in the agenda for the March meeting. After discussion, it was decided that a special meeting would be tentatively scheduled for February 27th at 7:30pm at Tidewater Tech. Then Dorothy announced that the next TASL monthly meeting would be held on March 12th at 7:30pm, also at Tidewater Tech. Also, a special meeting will be planned later in March for the Board and the member clubs to review and discuss new membership application requests. Unfinished Business: Dorothy reviewed the following: Match cards not turned in for EOST games may result in forfeited games. Dave Dearborn, VP recommended the winning team be responsible for submitting the match cards. If in the case of a tie, the home team would submit it. However, it was determined that the rule in the TASL Handbook stated the home team is responsible for turning in the match game card. Everyone must follow the rules in the TASL Handbook. Coaches will be reminded to follow these rules and display good sportsmanship. She asked Karen if she would email her Referee "Cheat Sheet" to everyone and Dorothy will also have it posted on the website. She needs all referee assignors' contact information so she can send it out to them also. New Business: Dorothy asked Dave if he would submit information as a guide for the discussion on setting the fees for the fall season like he did before. Dave agreed he would and said he would also include the additional information that Teresa would need. With no further new business, Dorothy asked for a motion for adjournment. Brian Francazio made the motion and Ray Franklin seconded it. The meeting was adjourned at 9:30pm. Respectfully submitting, Nan Beck, TASL Secretary
