2009 College Division Meeting - Minutes
posted by Administrator 03/16/2009 09:03:48
Yesterday, March 15, 2009, ENYTB held its annual age division meeting for its Collegiate and Adult Divisions at Guilderland Town Library.REMINDER - If you want to take advantage of Bill Kelts' offer re: birch bats, contact him soon (441-4464).Meeting Called To Order: 1:40PM8 Page Handout DistributedAttendance:Executive Board: Ed Frye, Dave Gage, Bill Kelts and Don Rahn.Membership: All teams were represented except the Pittsfield Pirates and Saratoga Stampede. Both of these members communicated their absences beforehand and are 100% committed to the 2009 season.(1) We welcomed back 9 collegiate teams from 2008. The Greenville Vipers were the only non-returning team. We also welcomed 4 new teams to the collegiate division: the GBR Bulldogs (Tim Selby); the Electric City Giants (Bob Tedesco); Clifton Park (Bob Ryback); and, Capital City Athletics (Dave Chambers).(2) Members were introduced and our returnees discussed their league experiences from last year.It was repeatedly noted that everything was quite positive last year and a significant improvement over 2007. Competition was quite good, both within and between divisions. It was noted that the difference between play in the Gold and Hi Silver divisions had narrowed from 2007. Also, schedule reliability, which is particularly important at this age level, was quite high, although Bethlehem noted that a significant share of its games were canceled by its opponents because their games did not count in the standings for post-season berths. Later in the meeting the members adopted a standings methodology that will make ALL games count in 2009. Last season ended on a high note with a very well run NABF Collegiate Regional, hosted in Saratoga by the Stampede (Paul Mound) and won by the Dix Hills Dodgers.(3) The league will once again (6th consecutive year) host the NABF Collegiate Regional. The Stampede will host. They will be awarded the host berth.(4) The post-season tournament schedule was reviewed. Unfortunately, the Unlimited tournaments sponsored by NABF and AABC overlap the NABF Collegiate tournament series. As a result, teams in the collegiate division passed on registering for berths in either of those tournaments. It remains an open question whether our adult teams decide to make themselves eligible for those tournaments.(5) Teams, Scheduling, Standings and Berth Earmarks(a) It was decided that teams would be grouped into three competitive levels: Gold (4 teams); Hi Silver (6 teams); and, Lo Silver (3 teams).(b) It was decided tournament berths (5) will be earmarked to divisions as follows: Gold - 1; Hi Silver - 1; Lo Silver - 0; and, Wildcard - 3.(c) It was decided to adopt FLEX Scheduling. This eliminates head-to-head must play requirements between teams and it ensures that ALL games count in the STANDINGS. Teams will no longer play identical schedules. W/L PCT will be used to rank teams in each division and a strength-of-schedule factor will be applied in the wildcard division only.(6) Fees were discussed. Our NABF costs alone for this division (affiliation, berths and tournament hosting) are in excess of $6,000.(7) A registration checklist was reviewed. The handout also included a detailed explanation of the website roster function.(8) Playing rules were discussed. After much discussion and votes on several items, no changes were made.Thank you all for your attendance and participation in this organizational meeting. All of you played an important role in shaping how this division will be structured for 2009.What's left to do?Please get your scheduling inputs entered to the website or submitted to Andy as soon as possible and get your registration fee mailed in, payable to ENYTB, at my address, 5227 Bridle Pathway, Schenectady, NY 12303. Your schedules should be ready about mid-April. After that, get your rosters up to date and submit all paperwork to Bill Kelts (copies of team insurance and DOB documentation (copy of driver's license OK instead of copy of berth certificate).Thank You.Ed Frye
