  1. Sea-King District 2 Executive Board President Report:  Annette Duvall

c.      Spring Hearing Dates:  Mar. 6 and 13th.

d.      Cbakken2@verizon.net.  Contact Craig if you would like to serve on the eligibility committee.

e.      School ADs have a responsibility to prep their athletes for the eligibility process and the requirement to present their “hardship”.

B.     Violations.  There is some concern throughout the state about whether all violations are being reported.  League reps are encouraged to go back to leagues and encourage accurate reporting of all violations of WIAA rules, including those violations resulting from violation of school rules that are tougher than WIAA rules.

C.     District Tournament Allocations.  State and District allocations were handed out along with the 3A and 4A football brackets for Week 10 and Round 1.

D.     3A Soccer/Football/Baseball 2006-08 Draws.  Football – Sea-King #1 is Metro, Kingco #1 is District #2.  Girls Soccer – District #1 is Kingco #1.  Metro #1 is District #2.  Spring – the draw for baseball will be the same as football.  The draw for boys soccer will follow the girls soccer format.
E.      1A Tri-District Playoffs.  District 3 made the decision that they would only play tri-district sports with us if we played all sports as tri-district.  Two of the three districts walked away from a spring meeting agreeing that we would play Tri-District in individual sports and Bi-District (D1, D3) in team sports.  After D3 decided it was all or none, the agreement fell apart and the Emerald City League will play all post-season events as their own League/District.  They will then advance directly to the state brackets.
F.      Review Sea-King District Documents.  Tabled till next meeting.
G.     Review of 2005-2006 Annual Financial Report.  Marilyn handed out the financial report prepared by Jim Murphy based on his audit of the Sea-King financial books.  He commends us for the condition of the finances in the district with the exception of tournament reports.  Jim made recommendations for improvement of the maintenance of the books.  The largest issue we have to deal with is the tournament manager reports.  Ticket reconciliation is a problem.  We need to make a commitment as a district to demand that managers do a better job.  Jim made up a ticket reconciliation “WASL” exam to help people figure out how to fill out this paperwork.  Fortunately, the wise and educated Sea-King Board members successfully completed the financial “WASL”.

H.     Site Selection for Football/Soccer.  Tom and Marilyn will attend the Westside District Director meeting to set sites for football and soccer sites in early November.  Please let them know if you have site preferences for contests.

Add to our list of goals:  Layout the criteria for selection of sites for playoff use in our district.

I.        WSSAAA.  Tom will send out a copy of the criteria to be used for the AD of the Year award.  Leagues should bring nominations to the next board meeting.  Nominations for the WSSAAA Hall of Fame must be submitted by Nov. 15.
