·        Discussed meeting with second party, and possibly using his umpires.
·        Umpires are 40% of our budget, how would we like to move forward to reduce this cost?
·        Discussed going to 1 umpire at a game.  Consensus among board members was using 1 umpire was the way to go.  Would like league directors to discuss with team managers and get their input. Will discuss in December.
·        Lee Molway has fixed some issues with website and projected to be future webmaster.  Thanks Lee.
·        Score keeping –it was suggested that we simplify scoring.  The idea was if you get on base it is a hit or a walk.  This takes the subjectivity out of the scorekeepers’ hands and makes it more fair, and easy for automated scoring. Will discuss before season starts.
