Little League has placed a moratorium on composite bats for Junior League Baseball and above. This has more to do with the carbon fiber in the bat breaking down, both thru legal and illegal means. These bats are also not allowed in high school or NCAA games. A waiver process for manufacturers may be allowed. The normal three year window on changing equipment is not being followed as these bats can become "hot" and the balls speed of the bat increase to unsafe levels.

Thank you to Dean Arbor Ford of Alpena. They provided the umpires that went to District Six to umpire the 9/10 State a courtsey van. Much easier then driving in a car. Thanks again.

2010 will be the fifthieth anniversary of District 8. As the previous DA's did not keep track of who won district championships we are asking leagues to see what years they made district finals and who they played. Please contact Dave at dst8umpcon@msn.com with results.

The IRS is checking up on youth sports groups. All leagues have been emailed a statement on reporting. A league could loose non-profit status if this is not filed.
Also make sure that people like groundskeepers, umpires and concession workers meet the requirments as contracters, not employees, so a league would not have to pay taxes on them.
