Old Business

 

Sponsor fees remain the same $50 for a returning sponsor and $75 for a new sponsor.

 

Dues are the same $350.  It is the teams’ responsibility to pay the dues not the sponsor unless other arrangements are made between them.

 

If Jack doesn’t have your sheet in his mail by Saturday you will be accessed a $5 fine.  If you have to hand carry it you have until Sunday at noon.  Sheets will be returned by e- mail on Monday with the up to date stats.  It is the home team’s responsibility to get the sheets out on time.

 

If no score sheet is received it will be marked on the Weekly Win /Loss as no sheet.  If no sheet arrives after a week it will be posted as a forfeit for the home team and the visitor will receive 4 wins. 

 

Monthly meetings will be every 2 months instead of every month. This means that every 2 months you will need to pay $100 for team dues.  At our next meeting all teams must have a delegate present to pay for Franchise Fee and Good Faith Money.  New sponsors must pay $75 franchise and $25 good faith money at that time.  Returning sponsors will pay $50 franchise and $25 good faith.  . 

 

The cap will remain at 190 for the top five shooters on the score sheet, with a 60% handicap to the lower team average.

 

If we get 16 teams the area will be divided in half to minimize the travel distance.  You will shoot your area twice and shoot the other area once.  Example Ripples and Big House would shoot each other 2 times in the year and only shoot Italian Club once.  Each division would have 8 teams. You would shoot your division twice and the other division once for a total of 22 weeks.

 

Darts will start on September 17, 2008.  We will have a meeting September 16, 2008 at Don Carlo’s in Nanticoke 8 o’clock.  Schedules, score sheets and envelopes will be distributed at that time.  We will be using the same darts as last season; more information can be obtained from Brian Murphy at darts18634@yahoo.com.
