1. League Banners ö Banners will be ready this weekend and Lu Snyder will mail them to each team next week. Teams are required to display the banner at all home games.
2. The Board has agreed to adopt a point system for conference call attendance and game report and media report submission. If a team acquires 5 points, 1 point will be deducted from the teamâs standings. Provisional teams will not be affected by this rule but are requested to help the league by meeting the deadlines. Teams will gain points for the following:
   1. A team representative must attend each conference call.  If there is no representation, the team will be given 1 point for missing the conference call.
   2. The home team must submit the Media Report within 3 hours of the end of the game. If the Media Report is submitted late, the team will be given 1 point.
   3. The home team must submit the Game Report by noon Monday following the game (noon Tuesday if Monday is a holiday). If the Game Report is submitted late, the team will be given 1 point.
   4. If the home team does not submit either Report by the deadline, the visiting team may submit the reports. The visiting team will be rewarded with an ãextra creditä point for each report submitted.
3. The Board has agreed to change the monthly conference call day from the second Wednesday to the second Monday of each month for the months of June and July. The meeting will begin at 6:00 PM PDT exactly and will last for 30-45 minutes.
