NCSL Rules & Discipline - Barry Finkelstein – Past season played 2500 games.  Out of these games, 37 items brought to R&D’s attention.  7 were protests, 30 incidents – 8 no action, 22 potential action.  Club reps have risen to the occasion – they have stepped up and the clubs have taken responsibility to work with R&D with disciplinary action.

Ray complimented Barry for doing a good job.

Administrator - Kathleen Session – Hooray the season is over.  Trophies are on their way via UPS.
All your spring entry materials – There’s an error on the registration materials, due date is indicated as Nov. 19 please change that to January 12.  Kathleen will send an email to remind everyone.  Five or six games were not be played, the league could not reschedule due to all the rain. Games could not be rescheduled after Nov 15 since that is the date the fall season ends.
