- Daniel Chen/Bruno
- Have more high level tournaments on Saturdays
- Is it possible to adjust skeleton to incorporate the day of the weekend as a factor?
- Jeff recommends that it be announced pre-draft that TDs should keep in mind that many high level players coach JOs which have tournaments on Sunday
- Judy’s thoughts (via email)
- Find an equation for the draft that benefits the legit longtime tournament directors.
- Per Jonah, new TDs are on a probationary period for the first draft period they are in
- Perhaps allowing TDs that have been successfully running tournament for 5+ years the opportunity to draft 100 team spots, 3+ years running 60 team spots, newbies only 30....or something like this OR get rid of the draft completely like we used to.
- The draft was started to get more TDs; maybe it's time for free enterprise.
- Per Jonah – should not be free enterprise or give long term TDs any more benefits
- Jeff is examining options to include a geographical factor into the skeleton system
- Will continue to discuss at future meetings
- Uniforms
- Bruno is concerned about referee consistency regarding libero uniforms
- Chet has requested Steve Webster get the information out to BAVP again regarding the rules and the interpretation
- The tournament head referee has the final decision on all uniforms
- Nationals Mappings
- Per David Castanon (email)
- The minimum for regional BB should be right after the maximum for regional B. In the past, we never worried about minimums for National ratings; minimums were introduced only for Yankee-championships, when you had 9 levels of championships. Th
- Somehow, we seem to have extended those to the USAV regionals.
- Jay motions that the minimums be lowered so that the ranges are contiguous, effective immediately
- Sam seconds
- For: Mark, Jeff, Chuck, Daniel, Jay, Sam
- Against: Jonah
- Motion Passes
- Per Kr
- I think it should be brought to the board attentions they keep an eye out on the different levels at Nationals and think about the current mappings especially the B and BB. I think the B level should be allowed 3 B women as the competition seems to be getting stronger. Same with the BB
- Per Jonah: Women’s B mapping should be adjusted for next year and will work with Dave for next year to adjust.
- Ratings (per Don Cohen via email)
- Why can you only have 4 Bs if you’re going to B nationals. Is it time to try again to address the nomenclature of ratings?
- First change
- D becomes D
- C- become DD
- C becomes C
- C+ become CC
- B- becomes B
- B becomes BB
- B+ becomes A
- becomes AA
- A/A+ become AAA or Open
- Second Step
- Change tournament mappings to match nationals mappings CC and below stay the same old +3. That way, teams can play all year together and prepare for nationals.
- Discussion ensues
- Our largest membership rating is C+ and so the Yankee ratings system works for the majority of our members
- Nationals
- 55 down from 67 last year
- Only 1 UVolley
- Coed is down
- Using championship results to rank teams
- Need an OPEN 2010 update at next meeting
- Championships
- Chet needs help getting teams for championships at some of the lower level
- Requests GRC gets scramble players involved with championships
- Chet wants to then have GRC push on different levels to get teams organized
- Picnic
- June 7
- Same food as last year
- DJ – taking recommendations - $500 stipend; 9-4; including emcee responsibilities
- Chet getting shirts for picnic staff/volunteers to wear
- Chet will work with Tom Sweeney to create online picnic registration
