Approval of Meeting Minutes from April 9, 2008
Mr. Stadnik asked the group to review the minutes from the April 9, 2008, PVAAU GBB meeting. A motion was made by Mike Baker of the MD Flames to approve the minutes of the April 9, 2008, meeting. Mr. Baker’s motion was seconded by Jeff Jenkins of James Lee Lady Razorbacks. The motion to approve the minutes was approved unanimously.
DQT Paperwork and Tournament Directors’ Reports
Next, Mr. Stadnik briefly reviewed the paperwork that the 2008 DQT Tournament Directors needed to submit to Kathy Campbell within 7-10 days after the close of the PVAAU DQT window.
Mr. Stadnik then asked all present Tournament Directors or their representatives to report on the outcome of their respective DQTs. No one from Team Sol was present to report on the 10U DQT. But all other PVAAU DQTs (9U, 11U-Open) were reported on, including winners for each D-I and D-II bracket if applicable. There were no major issues or incidents reported at any of the DQTs by the Tournament Directors.
Ed Knox of WFBC asked a question about D-III Nationals bids. Mr. Stadnik responded that PVAAU GBB was waiting on a response from Eddie Clinton to clarify how bids should be allocated, including for the new D-III Nationals event.
New Business
Mr. Stadnik then moved on to hear any new business. Hearing none, Mr. Stadnik then listed items for people to think about in advance of the next PVAAU GBB meeting. First, think about how to update or revise the DQT rules and checklist sheets for next year. Second, PVAAU may want to get the heads of all officiating organizations used by DQTs next year together in advance to discuss rules and expectations.
Mr. Stadnik suggested the next PVAAU GBB meeting would be on June 23rd or possibly the week before.
Before the meeting was adjourned, Mr. Knox of WFBC offered a suggestion that Stan King, Tournament Director of the 14U PVAAU DQT, explain the disqualification of the Fairfax Stars-Lomax team from that tournament at the next meeting, and explain the process and procedures used in verifying the legitimacy of each team competing in PVAAU DQTs. One question was raised about whether or not check-in of players at the start of each DQT was done uniformly, and whether it could be improved upon next year.
Meeting Adjourned
Mr. Jenkins of James Lee Lady Razorbacks thereby moved to adjourn the meeting, and it was seconded by Mr. Knox of WFBC. The motion was approved unanimously.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:29 pm.
