Wednesday Night

Dynamic PT completed a sweep of both regular season championship and the OTS Memorial Tournament.  One week ago they defeated the first summer season champion, Custom Woodworking.  Today they defeated the last team to beat them in the regular season, Ocean View Family Restaurant, 9-8. before a large gathering of OTS players and fans on Field 2.  Earlier Dynamic  defeated Precision Sportswear, in two extra innings, 10-9. The fans were provided with two thrilling games, both not decided until the final inning.  Ocean View earned the right to play for the championship by beating B&E Tires and Custom Woodworking earlier in the day.  While Precision beat Millville by the Sea before losing to Dynamic.  As expected the highest seeded teams were in the finals. There were no upsets in the Tournament.  Check the Albums link for pictures of the Tournament.

This is the end of the regular season. Fall ball starts next Tuesday.  Players not sure of their new team assignments are asked to report to Field 2 by 8:30.  Organized practices will continue on Mondays through October at 9:00 on Field 2. All are invited, especially new players.

Executive Committee Minutes

August 12, 2010

The Executive Committee met on this date to discuss the upcoming season ending tournament, the annual OTS picnic and general business.  Present were Bo Wood, Tom Farrah, Archie Alexander and Dick Mullins.

1)  To date, we have missed a total of 4 games this season due to rain or extreme heat.  One in the first half, three in the second half.  We only have one day that we can use to make up games, that is August 31.  We may schedule games that are meaningful for seeding in the tournament.  This is yet to be determined.

2)  The tournament is single elimination and will be held on September 7th and 9th, with games at 9, 10:30 and 12:00 noon.  We anticipate the extreme heat we have experienced will diminish.  Basically we will have, on day 1, seeded teams playing as follows.  1 vs 12, 2 vs 11, 3 vs 10, 4 vs 9, 5 vs 8 and 6 vs 7.  The six winners will play on day two with the two top seeded winning teams having a bye the 9:00 am game, then they'll play the winners of that early game, and the winners will move on to the final game at noon to determine the winner.

3)  The championship game will take place on September 2 between the first half and second half winners.  Time to be announced, will be held on Field 2.

4)  The Annual Picnic will once again be held at the American Legion Post #24 on Wednesday, September 15 from 3 to 6 pm.  Rain date is the 16th.  Cost is same as last year, $5 per person.

5)  Fall Ball:  Managers need to get a head count of who will be playing Fall Ball, we anticipate forming 8 teams to play from September 14 through October.  At that time Fall Ball is done, winter ball starts until Spring, 2011.

6)  Manager's Rating Meeting:  The annual managers/ass't manager meeting to rate players will take place on Tuesday, August 31 after the day's games.  It will be held at the American Legion #24, all managers should have their rating sheets in prior to this day so copies for all team representatives can be made.

7)  OTS Elections:  This is the year when the Executive Committee is up for election.  The Secretary will notify the league by e-mail, managers need to let those players on their teams that do not have e-mail know of the elections.  All votes will be counted by August 31 and the announcement of who filled the  positions of President, Vice President, Treasurer and Secretary will be made.  Anyone interested in holding one of these positions, contact the Secretary so your name can be put on the ballot.

8)  Special Committee Formed:  The Executive Committee is in the process of forming a 7 person committee, with the V/P as its' Chair, to review and possibly develop rules and regulations pertaining to our league games.  An example of some of the issues they will be asked to review include:  Game schedules (how many games, i.e. length of play), a weather policy for cancelling or altering game times, whether the league should be split into 2 division based on age, ability or a combination of both and the substitute runner rule.  We feel it is better to have a smaller committee develop the programs and make recommendations to the full Board of Directors (Executive Committee and Team Managers) rather than have 14 individuals being involved.

9)  Work Day:  We hope to schedule a work day at the fields in September to level out some areas, remove weeds and crabgrass, etc.  Further info to follow.
