F.      Discussion – League/District Issues
1.  Reporting & Penalizing Violations.  General consensus is that the districts are capable of handling the violation process.  It would be nice to see consistency statewide, but more critical that consistency occurs at the district level.  The board asked members to bring League Handbooks to the next meeting for further discussion.  We would support a review of the current process.  Any league in the district may request that their handbook be placed on the district website.  Contact Tom to post this on the site.
2.  Eligibility Waiver Process.  District 2 would approve of a process to review this.  We do appreciate the opportunity to hold our own hearings and feel that we handle this in a consistent fashion, yet one that allows for the individual to gain eligibility.
3.  Consistent Basketball Rules.  WIAA received input from basketball coaches that they should leave this issue alone.
4.  Summer Activity.  District 2 would love to see discussion about what is allowable in the summer.  School Districts ought to have control of their programs.  WIAA could help provide guidelines and information about summer programs.  How can we help empower School Districts to say, “no”, to summer programs in the face of coaches and parents who want such programs?

G.     Gift Certificate. M/S/P to approve $100 gift certificate for our monthly meetings cook, Jeff Fluery.

H.     Winter District Tournament Dates, Sites & Managers – Brent provided Marilyn with information about the Kingco 4A tournaments.

I.        Proposed Amendments for Rep. Assembly.
1.  Holy Names is presenting an amendment to alter the definition of a jamboree to that of an exhibition game with no score being kept for softball.
2.  Mark Cullen presented an amendment to change the definition of the private school residence area to that of the local public school district.
3.  Mark presented an amendment to use percentages to determine the number of teams required for a classification to have a state tournament.  Using percentages also allows for the effect of opt-ups on the system without hurting the classification left behind.

J.       Spring Girls Golf – Jana scheduled the 2005 Girls 3A District Golf for Washington National Golf Course on May 23.  In addition, she tentatively scheduled the 3A Boys District tournament at the same site in October.
