Tom & Marilyn Doyle – District Directors
Savings: $ 25,934.04
A.
WIAA
finances are experiencing revenue drops ($200K from previous year) and expenses
being higher – familiar? As a result, the
board did not put any money into the reserve fund from last year. Ticket prices were increased to help adjust
for the raise in IRS mileage fees and salaries.
B.
Soccer
– 3A/4A will be at Lakewood. 2A/3A/4A
volleyball had a conflict at the Toyota Center and the staff tried several
different sites. We had to move the
tournament one week later. Softball 1A
will be at Trac in Tri-Cities.
Tournament squad sizes for volleyball go from 12 to 14.
C.
Chris
Bigelow was selected for another term (3 years) on the board.
D.
Football
Draw – The board decided to eliminate the requirement that the #1 and #2 seeds
from a district be in opposite halves of the bracket. They now could meet in quarterfinals. This will cut down on travel.
The semi-final site will be at the most appropriate site.
E.
Soccer
– we will go with the “regional” concept this fall which puts the first and
second rounds on Fri/Sat. This
eliminates the “home” field.
F.
Amendment
– the board has defined several of the new changes. The Clerical Error amendment has been defined more clearly so
that there will be an interpretation that we can use.
G.
The
board confirmed that the number of periods a teacher normally teaches will be
defined as the “load” for seniors when the number of classes is different for
seniors than others in the school.
Schools that can’t meet this requirement, should request a waiver from
the WIAA for this year.
H.
Orting
reported a violation from two years ago – there is no “statute of limitations”,
so they were requested to go back to their league with the violation.
6. Sea-King District 2 Executive Board: Luke Syverson
A. Violations. Approved league sanctions. M/S/P.
B. 3 week
window. Turn in numbers for
allocations by Thursday, Sept. 11. Tom
will follow up on Friday and submit to the WIAA. The WIAA board will approve allocations on Sept. 28.
C. Executive
Board Calendar. Marilyn asked the board to
review the calendar and check for conflicts.
None were reported.
D. Service
Fees. Marilyn reported the
reactions to the service fees and handed out a copy of the approved fees again.
E. Distribution
of Excess Fees. M/S/P to not distribute excess
funds as the amount of money at the end of the fiscal year dropped below our
$40K contingency amount. We hope that
the adjustment in the budget will allow us to reinstate this next year. In addition, we lowered the contingency
amount to $35,000.
F. District
Tournament, Dates, Sites, Managers. At the 4A level Dist. 2 and 4 have an
agreement that the D2#3 plays against the D4#2 in most sports for the next
cycle. D4 will come up here for track
both years. Other sports will travel
one year and be at home the other year.
M/S/P. At the 3A level, the
Metro and Kingco reps should look at the proposed volleyball bracket which will
also be used for basketball and softball.
We need to take a look at the bracket to determine whether we want to
play someone from our own league in the round of 8 or someone from the other
league (presuming higher seeds win out.)
G. 2008-2009
Sea-King Dist. 2 Committees. Gill and Luke will take a
look at Coaches’ Education for this year.
H. Directory –
Home & Cell Phone #s. Marilyn asked the league reps to give her a league directory with home
and cell numbers for a confidential list to only be used in emergencies.
I. Delegates to
2008-2009 Spring Rep Assembly. Annette Duvall, Greg Hart,
Brent Kawaguchi, Rhondi Adair, Bob Dowding, Mickey Fowler, Megan Marson – M/S/P
to approve these as the Rep Assembly members.
b. Emerald City – Wrestling with alternate soccer season and the effects on the schools and the league. Several of the schools might be interested in moving to the spring and moving spring sports back to the fall. These are ‘unchartered’ waters and may cause more alternate season play than previously.
c. Kingco – 3A Golf will be at Harbor Pointe, 4A at Snohomish.
d. Metro –.Metro is discussing Multi Classification League for two years from now.
K. WIAA Concerns
a. Remember
that “home field” for football and soccer is determined by the District. Being on the bottom of a WIAA bracket does
not guarantee a “home” game. The board
will determine the most appropriate site for the contest and the expected
crowd.
b. Eligibility
– the process? Craig indicated that
Cindy and Teresa are putting together a power point to help us through the
process. It was suggested that every AD
require Form #5 from every new transfer student. This will give you information about whether you need to go
further and require the entire eligibility packet or not. AD’s should also feel free to call Craig
Bakken (425-481-1790) for specific responses to eligibility questions.
c. Spring
sport championships take place the week after Memorial Day next spring….just a
reminder!
d. Dance/Drill. We anticipate that Eastlake again will host
this event this spring. There is some
discussion in the Dance/Drill community that D1 and D2 may combine. We are unaware of any discussion to that
effect.
