Reopen discussion on incorporating JSSA:

Placement of new players: Because Dave Summers is usually the first contact with new players who sign the waiver that the A Division will evaluate new players to determine which division they will play in to start. The decision will be based on the players’ experience and related factors.

7. UMPIRES AND RULES ENFORCEMENT
During a discussion of umpires and the need for strict enforcement of rules and player behavior, the board agreed to emphasize that rules must be strictly enforced and
