Correction to Item I in NEWSLETTER 3-09

Subject: Re: 15U Olympic Schedule-Dow Screw Up!

Folks, Dean is P#$% at me, pointing our my only screw up for 2009, so far J

Dean has already started scheduling so I blew it.

Several of you also caught it as well, thanks  for reading.

Pay the first half fees and we’ll adjust on the 2nd half fees- would be 20 and 21 game schedule, and thus less

fees – again will adjust the fees on the 2nd half.

the check cleared-of course name on the check and league age group will be helpful—we have

mis-posted before so this will help clear it up.

Lake [Crystal Lake is one of if not the finest tournaments in the USA], if you want to

State Tournaments to advance-if we don’t hear from your team we will assume that you

are not committing to 15U MM WS and will hand berth to those interested and who respond :-).

There is no 15U MM Regional-so it’s straight to the WS.  August 4-9 Owasso, Ok.

5.  This is the “trickledown effect”  if only a couple of teams commit then they will be given the

spot in State, so speak up or we’ll move on :-)

PLEASE NEED CONFIRMATION PDQ.- The Tournament people are trying to set the brackets

and plan the tournaments.

III.  Cancelling games, you must notify the Umpire Assoc involved, or you will have to pay for the

game- per the Constitution!

IV. Fines must be paid by check-when incurred, we do not deduct from the Performance Bond,

unless it happens at the end of the year and of course fines not paid promptly are doubled!

I.    CM State: Dates to figure for now are July 13-20th   Host: Auburn Baseball  Site: Auburn HS

1.      We need to know that if you play in State will you commit to going to Regional (this year in Hayward,

California)  AABC does not take it kindly that we don’t send someone to their Regional!  We, in the NW,

understand that our teams have a different set of economics –we can’t drive to a Regional we have to

normally fly-and two flights Regional & WS are owner some.  Hayward maybe drivable-Considered Northern Calif.

2.      To be clear: If you are going to/or would play in State you need to let us know ASAP before the tournament

that you would not or would go to the Regional “if” we offered you a spot.  Thus you might not have to win the

tournament to advance.

3.      KNOW IT’S EARLY, BUT IF YOUR TEAM IS INTERESTED IN CM STATE OR BR STATE LET US KNOW.

A.      Cannot play in “both” CM and BR State-Per Constitution

B.      League record determines who gets first choice-Per Constitution

4.      PSBL will have a minimum of 5 entries into CM State

5.      PSBL will have a minimum of 2 Entries into BR-plus the Host-will confirm # of entries here.

6.      Quite often we get more spots due to other league not sending their allotted number of teams.
