Please welcome Tom Sisson of Halfmoon as League Coordinator for the 10U age division this year. We expect this age proup to be fairly small, somewhere between 4 and 8 teams, thus Tom may or may not choose to appoint Division Directors for the various color divisions. This will be decided at our 10u age division meeting, which is rapidly approaching.10U Divisional Meeting.........Sunday - FEB 26 4:00PM11U/12U Divisional Meetings.........Sunday - FEB 26 6:00PMEverything necessary for your participation in this League will be covered in your age division meeting.Tom will help structure the 10U division, including the earmarking of tournament berths to divisions. He will also conduct all scheduling activities, and coordinate all League operations in this division, including the hosting of the 10U AABC State Championship tournament on his fields in Halfmoon. Tom will also assist you with website operation and serve as the focal point in the collection of pre-scheduling info and your signed AABC rosters. It is because of Tom's efforts in this regard that we are able to cut the registration fees in this division to a bare minimum ($125 includes AABC tournament eligibility).Please give Tom your fullest cooperation in all matters and check this Board regularly througout the pre-season, regular season and post-season, for important messages from Tom, myself or other League Officers. GENERAL DUTIES OF League Coordinators and Division DirectorsTeams must enter their rosters on the website BEFORE they play their first League game or May 15, whichever comes first. No exceptions. See Website Tips for instructions. (1) All teams need to provide Tom with the signed original of their AABC roster (signed by coaches, players and parent/guardian for each player). Except for signatures, this roster can printed from the ENYTB website completely filled in on the official AABC roster form. NABF and PONY rosters, where applicable, do NOT need to be signed and therefore do NOT need to be submitted to the League Office (we can print them from the league Office). If you don't know your roster by May 15, please inform Tom of your situation and follow his instructions.(2) All teams also need to include a copy of each player's birth certificate (unless ENYTB website indicates birth certificate was verified in a previous year - indicated by a check in the checkbox next to his birth date on each player's roster ID form). (3) All teams also need to include a copy of their team insurance with their roster submission.(4) All teams also need to include a signed certificate form each player's parent or guardian, indicating they understand ENYTB's rules re: roster protection if that team wants to have roster protection on that player. (This form is available on the website.) Teams that don't submit this acknowledgement form for any particular player shall have no roster protection for that player. The LC or DD shall confirm each player's birthdate on the roster with his birth certificate and enter a check in the appropriate box on the player's roster ID form if correct. The birth certifcates shall be returned to the teams and the rosters shall be forwarded to Bill Kelts, ENYTB Player Agent. Bill will keep the originals of all rosters until tournament time. All roster additions need to be submitted to Bill with appropriate documentation of age etc. The signed rules acknowledgement forms shall be forwarded to Jeff Pexton for League record-keeping.In addition to properly documenting your team, each team needs to fill out the calendar forms on the website for team availability. Separate forms are provided for "opening weekend" games (usually Memorial Day Weekend but sometimes a week or two later for the senior division teams) and for the rest of the regular season. Field availability this year will be reported to Mark Musto. Team registration can be done by each team on the website w/o interaction with League administrators. We are here to provide assistance as needed. All registration choices must be final no later than late March and all registration fees are due no later than late March. At that point teams will be put into divisions and scheduling will begin. Feel free to contact Tom throughout the season for assistance with the website, rescheduling games with other members, understanding your STANDINGS or any other League matter. If your inquiry requires further assistance, he will refer you to me or the League Player Agent, Bill Kelts, as appropriate.Ed Frye
