Only posted agenda items will be voted upon, except in cases when a decision is time sensitive. Agenda will be posted on league website prior to meeting.
  3. Responsibilities of competition committee were reviewed: Recommend necessary rule changes, determine desired number of teams for the season to control growth, determine which proposed new teams will be submitted for a vote, and team quality control.

Vote will be conducted via e-mail to sustain voting integrity. Teams will be notified within 2 weeks of the meeting at which they presented. Beginning with the 2009 season all teams will be presented after the January 15th deadline. Motion passed by 6-2 margin (Scott Kessler and Stephen Good against).
