  3. Sea-King District 2 Executive Board President Report:  Gill James

 

A.     Violations  - League Sanctions Approved

B.     Winter District Tournament Status. Tom reviewed the tournament sites and dates.  A discussion ensued about whether a team should be able to play at their own site if they were hosting a district tourney.  Gill suggested that the topic should be on the agenda when Metro and Kingco AD’s meet again.  They can review sites for all sports to determine the best sites available.  Discussion also arose about roster size.  The district allows 15 to suit, then only 12 can suit for state.  The question was asked if WIAA could go to 15 or if the district could move to 12 so that there was consistency.  The board discussed the unlikely scenario where the WIAA would enlarge the size.  Concerned schools should send letters to the WIAA board if they have concerns on this issue.

C.     January “Current Issues” Report

D.     3A Track – Change of Sites – Gill.  If we need to move off the site at Southwest Complex because of the Pacific Rim Games, we will move to Rainier Beach.
E.      Review Proposed Amendments to Spring Rep. Assembly.  Craig led a discussion about the amendments.  Reps will take the information back to their leagues for a league vote, then bring that information back to the April meeting for a district vote.

F.      Proposed Amendment to Sea-King Rules and Regulations – Tabled

G.     Committee Report – Metro/Kingco.  Metro and Kingco AD’s met and discussed playoffs and then returned to their leagues to see what tournaments might look like.  There still appears to be some misunderstanding about what has been agreed to between the two leagues.  Dan and Jana will get the Metro AD’s together in the next week or so and put a proposal in writing.  This needs to be presented to the Kingco prior to their Feb 28 meeting so there is time to get together prior to when the District Board votes on the tabled amendment to the Rules and Regs.

H.     Dance/Drill District Tournament.  Friday, March 4, Mt. Si

I.        Spring District Tournaments Dates, Sites & Managers. 

J.       WSSAAA Report – Tom asked each league rep to go back and remind AD’s about the WSSAAA awards for those who volunteer in our school programs.  Forms for nominating these invaluable people for the Honor and Service awards can be found at http://www.wssaaa.com/honors/index.htm

K.    WOA Meeting.  Tom reported that he and Marilyn met with the assigners from all of the official’s associations in our district.  A great discussion ensued about the relationships between the leagues and the official’s associations.  The officials indicated that they take very seriously the ejections reports.  Some indicated that they fine officials who do not turn in the proper paperwork.  They suggested that they will make every effort to follow up on officials to make sure they turn in paperwork if they eject an athlete.

L.      Eligibility – Gill provided a copy of the KINGCO League Eligibility Rules.  Tom will provide copies to each league for further discussion.  Tom will ask Annette to email him an electronic version so he can distribute the eligibility section for discussion.
