For the second year in a row, and for the fifth time in the last six years, the Rockies have won the Championship Series and are the Ringwood Women's Softball Champions of 2004.

Congratulations to all of the Rockies for a wonderful season!

The mid-season meeting was at Jane's house at 7:00 on Wed. July 28th. Most Board members did attend.

The following items were discussed:

The rainouts were rescheduled. Other games have been moved to Stonetown and Hewitt. Please refer to the new schedule for details (If you go to Handouts, you can print it out).

The date of the End of Year Party was set. The date is August 27th, and the place has yet to be determined.

The playoffs will start on July 16th at 8:30 at both Borough and Happ fields. The second night of the first round will be on Wed. August 18th (to finish the best 2 out of 3).

Also discussed the possiblity of playing on a Thursday if the rain continues.

Of course all this is final unless it rains again.

The rule for cancellation of games due to rain (review):

Rule #11. Captains must appoint a field representative to check field
conditions before 4:45 p.m. of scheduled game day. Both field reps will then inform their coaches, who then call Sandy Hanrahan if the game needs to be cancelled as she needs to call Valley Umpires no later than 5:00 p.m.

Umpires need to be advised 90 minutes before game time as to any
cancellation or we will be charged the full fee. If it should begin raining after that deadline but appear to be passing showers, the best scenario is to still go to the field as most players & umps would likely be enroute to their respective games and once there, should the ump call the game, we would only be charged travel time.

Prior to cancellation, it is imperative that all fields scheduled
for use be checked by a member of each team and each captain should be
alerted as to the conditions. In the event a team cannot get a rep to the field, captains should be in telephone contact with each other.
