Tom & Marilyn Doyle – District Directors
Savings: $ 25,939.24
A.
Oct. 30 – Conference call regarding the regional soccer sites. The district directors recommended changing
the soccer format back to the former procedures – The Exec. Board voted to make
the change.
B.
Mike Colbrese is going to be meeting with the Seamount league to
discuss sportsmanship issues based on ejections from the previous year.
C.
Track & Field Official’s proposal.
The idea is to make sure that we have certified officials at the state
level, then eventually moving that down to the district level. Athletes are disqualified at the state track
meet often for issues that should have been caught at district events. The board discussion was favorable towards
the idea of using certified officials with some questions about liability and
regular season issues.
D.
Craig is meeting with the official fee review committee and asked for
input on the topic. Fees, travel costs,
assigning fees are all to be considered.
6. Sea-King District 2 Executive Board: Luke Syverson
A. Violations. Approved
league sanctions. M/S/P.
B. Fall Eligibility Report – Craig
Bakken
a.
We had 48 eligibility hearings this fall – up from
40 last fall. 7 cases were appealed to
the WIAA and 3 of those decisions were overturned on appeal.
b.
Winter will be interesting with the new rule on
transfers within a school district.
c.
Things seem to be going well with the process. A fax is sent to the AD prior to each
hearing. Craig is asking the AD’s to
give the family the letter, the instructions, and the map to the hearing site. This helps to assure that the family is
properly notified in a timely fashion. Craig has asked for an email or phone
call in response to make sure that the family has the information.
C. Review Fall Tournament/Play-Off Status. Tom reviewed the playoffs for the fall teams and the
site selection criteria. Skyline has
brought in more seating so that their stadium seats 3900 – site approved. Issaquah and Bellevue requested permission
to play at home in the football first round – approved conditionally on raising
their visitor seating to a minimum of 800.
Both schools are complying with that criteria. Eastside Catholic will host at Memorial Stadium as they don’t
have enough seating available yet at their home site.
D.
3A Basketball Sites. Should we be playing the
3A first and second round sites at home sites this year or continue the tourney
at two sites, or play only the first round at home sites? Board M/S/P to allow home sites at first
round only for one year with the rest of the tourney at our selected sites.
Quality of experience – workers, experience of playing in front of a crowd,
total attendance, & revenue to be reviewed after the tournament to make
recommendations for next fall.
E. 3A Volleyball Bracket and Line Fees.
The board recommended no increase in fees for
volleyball at this time. These
increases are not figured in our budget and the fee review committee is meeting
tomorrow. So we should wait until after
we see what direction this committee provides.
M/S/P to leave the bracket as approved.
F.
Winter District Tournament
Dates, Sites & Managers. It
is the time of year that we need to go to our leagues and determine who the
managers will be and what the sites will be for our winter tournaments.
G. Proposed Amendments for Rep. Assembly - Submit Amendments for Spring
Rep. Assembly by December 1. Please
let us know if you are considering submitting any amendments for the Rep
Assembly.

c. Emerald City – Several schools are considering moving
boys' soccer out of the fall and into the spring. Schools will declared by December 1.
d. SeaTac - There is some concern over girls' basketball programs in the league and whether all schools will be able to support teams. Club volleyball is having a dramatic effect on programs. Many others concurred.
