Review of Business from April 22nd, 2007 Meeting

Present for Voting: Don Evans (Milwaukee Rattlers), Jake Tetting (Saukville Demons), Andy Stopczynski (Oostburg Rebels), Ann (West Bend Junkyard Dogs), Jason King (M&M Timberjacks), George Kone (Bay Area Vipers), Todd Dillinder (Stateline Hawks), Corey Larrabee (Racine Horsemen), Jim Heitman (River City Rattlers), Steve Good (Summit Stampeders) and Scott Kessler (Head of Referees)

  1. A 10-1 vote passed the notion to pursue not-for-profit status for the league. This decision does not prevent teams from being for profit. Researching whether 501c3 status or UNA status is preferential.
  2. Discussion of "Quality Control" to help teams remain or become competitive prompted the motion to form a competition committee headed by Scott Kessler and involving four team representatives. Motion passed unanimously. The competition committee will review all new team proposals prior to presentation to the league board, review team performance and competitiveness, and aid struggling teams with strategies for improvement. The committee may encourage solvency of a team if the team is largely non-competitive and a threat to the credibility of the league. The committee shall be responsible for defining "competitive", and recommending a course of action to be voted on by the league.
  3. Nominations for the Competition Committee: Andy S. (Rebels), Todd D. (Hawks), Paul Z. (J.Y. Dogs), George K. (Vipers), Corey L. (Horsemen), Steve G. (Stampeders), Mike H. (Force).
  4. Playoff format was established. A unanimous vote adopted 3 divisional winners and 3 wildcards would comprise the field. Top 2 win/loss records would receive a first round bye with all teams being seeded by record and previously established tiebreakers when necessary. An 8-2 vote established that the second team in each division would assume the wild card regardless of records across other divisions.
  5. Decisions on WSFL player exclusivity and mandating videotaping of games were tabled to next meeting. Due to cost associated with videotaping it was determined a quorum must consist before a determination can be made.

Random drawing determined interdivisional crossover games.
