Another very good age division meeting. All major aspects of 2010 college program were discussed and decided. Attendance percentage was highest of any age division. I thank those of you who took the time to attend and participate. The league program strongly reflects your input and is better for it.
--------------------------------

First order of business - 2009 Playing Rules were adopted with one change. The maximum permissible diameter for a wood bat is 2 3/4 inches (prior rules stated 2 5/8).

An eight page handout was distributed to all members present. These charts are hyperlinked below.

(2) 18DR teams are not eligible for NABF tournament berths in the 22U division.

(3) ENYTB will host an NABF Regional Qualifying Tournament, beginning July 23rd.

(4) Both the winner and runner-up teams will advance to the Regional tournament held the following week in Brooklyn, NY. (League will purchase two berths to NABF College Regional.)
