END OF THE YEAR PARTY
August 25, 2005
We have a date: FRIDAY AUGUST 26, 2005
We have a place: SKYLINE CLUBHOUSE
We have food and drink: PIZZA AND "COOLERS FULL OF ENJOYMENT"
We have a time: How about 7 p.m. to midnight? Sounds good to me
It's probably gonna come to about $10 per person, between the fee for the clubhouse and the pizza. Anything extra I'll buy munchies. Still a good deal. Anyone who wants to make a dish, or bring something special "it's all good". BYOB.
Debi Mims from the Legal Eagles was kind enough to get us the clubhouse. So when you see her make sure you thank her, this party has been long overdue. If I forgot anything just let me know, people, food and alcohol, what else is there

KANISH KORNER - END OF YEAR BOARD MEETING
September 15, 2005
Changes are highlighted in red. The changes that are in green are no longer in the rules, but are listed as an explanation of what the change is:
1. REGISTRATION: Captains must sign up their entire team during registration. Registration is Saturday, June 10, 2006. Teams must have a minimum of (14) players to register a team. Our league will field no more than 9 teams each season. Returning teams will have the priority of returning before the league will accept a new team. Registration fees are as follows: Ringwood Residents- $35.00; out-of-towners- $45.00. There is a late charge of $30.00 for registrations after June 10, 2006.
11. FORFEIT RULE: In case of forfeit, the umpire has the right to leave the field after (15) minutes of said start of game, (6:45), resulting in a forfeit to the team that is lacking the proper amount of players. If a team captain knows that she will not have enough players to field a team for a particular game, a forfeit can be accepted by phone. The forfeiting captain must call the opposing team captain on the scheduled game date, than must inform Katie Telschow before 2:00 p.m. on that same day to cancel the umpires. Winning teams in a forfeit will be awarded a win with the score of 5-0.
19. RWS BOARD OF DIRECTORS: The RWS Board of Directors is made up of two previously assigned members from each team. Any issues that may not be represented within the rules will be brought up with the RWS Board and voted upon. Decisions will be made in the best interest of the league.
26. BUNTING: is allowed under the following conditions: On a particular pitch, once a batter shows a bunting position, she must bunt (unless, of course the pitch is taken as a ball or strike). No showing bunt, then taking a full swing or the umpire will call the batter out.
33. PITCHING RULES: Modified fast pitch
A. Pitcher must start with one or two feet on pitching line/rubber, which is 40’ from home plate. Both teams must agree to the spot of the “pitching line”. (took out "no need for a rubber"),B. The pitching hand may not go above the shoulder at any time during the wind up, otherwise, a “ball” is called.
C. The pitching hand must stay parallel with the side of the body during delivery;
D. Pitcher’s hand may not be outside of the plane of the elbow;
E. The pitcher must present the ball to the batter.
38. SUB PLAYERS are allowed for playoffs. Players will be determined by picking randomly from pool of available players from those teams eliminated from playoffs. Team must have at least (6) players to be eligible to use a sub. Team can use only enough players to total 9, (max 3 subs). Pitchers cannot be used to pitch as sub players. Sub players must bat at the end of the order.
40. ILLEGAL PLAYERS: Only an officially registered player can compete in this league. Any other player is considered illegal. Any team that uses an illegal player is in violation of the rules and subject to forfeit. (On this rule we took out the words "and only from her own team").
Additional discussions:
Replacement Players: We agreed that we would take replacement players up until July 15th for those teams who have lost people due to injury. I did not put that in the rules because we decided that it would be an in house decision. (So, it would be a board decision, covered by rule #19). Mike gets a copy of our rules, and it was my impression that we didn't want him involved in this one. (That is, assuming that he actually reads our rules).
Stonetown lights: Katie Telschow suggested that we could rent portable lights (like the ones that colleges use) for the Stonetown fields so that we can forgo using Borough field. Many players were unhappy with the pitcher's mound there, and considered it dangerous. Our solution will be brought up at the Ringwood Recreation Commission meeting.
Equipment: Complaints were being heard about the fact the Mike Hirschmann constantly changes our equipment order. We will petition the Rec commission to be able to handle our own equipment orders from now on. If we get what we want, we will see if we need to appoint a Treasurer.
If I have missed anything, let me know and I will make the adjustments needed.
Thanks,
Anne Marie Busch
secretary
KANISH KORNER - PLAYOFF FORMAT
August 8, 2005
Hello Ladies:
Regarding the playoffs, here is the playoff format this year:
As in the past, the top four teams will make the playoffs. Seeding is determined in the following ways.
1. Wins and losses
2. If two are tied, then by head to head competition including runs scored vs each other.
3. If still tied, then run differential.
According to the final standings, the first seed plays fourth, second plays third in the first round. In each game, the higher seed is the home team for the first game. In the second game, the lower seed is the home team. If there is a third game, the higher seed is home team. The highest seed in each round of the playoffs has the choice of which field they want to play on.
August 17th: The first games of the first round are at Happ and Borough.
August 22nd: Borough and Happ have the second games, and third games (if needed, doubleheader).
Last year, the doubleheader was the first night, but at the spring meeting, the board wanted to change that. Since we have no games to make up (so far), we have enough time to split up the rounds a bit.
August 24th: The first game is the 3rd place game between the two losers of the first round (determining 3rd place...we're supposed to be giving trophies out for 2nd and 3rd as well). The higher seed is the home team. The second game is the first game of the Championship.
August 29th: The second game of the championship, and a third (if needed, doubleheader).
We do have August 31st as an extra rainout day, but, if we start getting a lot of rainouts, we may have to change back to the old format.

RAINOUTS HAVE BEEN RESCHEDULED
July 11, 2005
The rained out games from June 29th have been rescheduled.
The games have been rescheduled as 8:30 games on July 18, 20 and 25. Please refer to the online schedule, which has been revised. Also, a copy of the revised schedule is in the handouts section so that you can print it out.
**Please look at the schedule closely because some 6:45 games have been moved to a different location.
May 20, 2005
Hello ladies,
Thanks to everyone who attended the meeting this past Wednesday.
These are the results of the meeting:
Maureen Sellerolli is now the Overall Coordinator.
Board members were reminded that sign ups at Borough Hall are on June 11th from 9am until 12pm. The next Recreation Meeting is June 1st, and board members are encouraged to attend.
These issues were discussed:
It was agreed by all present that we will use the new Dondero field instead of Hewitt field.
In the event of rain, coaches will call Assistant Coordinator Katie Telschow to determine whether or not games should be cancelled. Katie is in charge of the Umpires. Katie will have a list of the field representatives. If you have not given Katie your field reps, please do so ASAP.
During the season, winning coaches are to call or email Website Director Anne Marie Busch with the results of a completed game (either that night or the next morning).
The pre-season party is tentatively scheduled for June 10th or 11th. Cindy Davison will look into where to have the get together.
Tanya Van Dunk and Maria Kwak are developing a plan to have a charity softball tournament in Ringwood in the Fall of 2006.
Due to the concerns of some of the board members, there have been slight changes made to the rules:
rule #22. When a late player enters the game, their coach must inform the other coach. That player will then be added to the bottom of the batting roster. After the end of the 4th inning no new players can be added.
rule #24. HIT BY PITCH: First base IS awarded (errant pitch must be out of strike zone, and batter must attempt to get out of the way). After 3 HBP by the same pitcher, that pitcher must be re-moved from that position.
rule #33. PITCHING RULES: Modified fast pitch
A. One or two feet on “pitching line” which is 40’ from home plate. There is no requirement to use a pitching rubber. Both teams must agree to the spot of the “pitching line”.
B. The pitching hand may not go above the shoulder at any time during the wind up, otherwise, a “ball” is called.
rule #34. There is a free substitution at any position, (ex.) the pitcher may return to pitch later in the game (unless the pitcher has been removed…see rule #24)
rule #38. PLAYOFFS/CHAMPIONSHIP: Winning teams of the first round will play in the championship series, and the losing teams of the first round will play in a single game to determine third place. Trophies will be given to the first second and third place teams.

KANISH KORNER- 2005 PRE-MEETING REPORT
April 11, 2005
Hope everyone is well and looking forward to another season of Ringwood Women's Softball. I am sending this e-mail as a reminder that I will not be returning as Coordinator and, therefore, the process of determining a successor needs to commence. That successor needs to come from a team other than the Rockies or Panthers. When Anne Marie stepped down as Coordinator she suggested that the position should be one of two years (I served three) and on a rotating team basis. I cannot stress strongly enough that Anne Marie is not an option to return to the position.
A meeting has been scheduled for Rohdes Ringwood Inn at 7:00 on Wednesday, April 20th. Two representatives from each team are required to attend.
A few items to note:
(1) Ray DeFelice is organizing a Spring Women's Windmill Fastpitch League that will play doubleheaders Sunday mornings. The league will consist of 4 teams to play doubleheaders on both Stonetown fields beginning May 15 and ending on June 26. $40 to play and must be 18 or older (& out of high school). First games of the doubleheaders are at 9:00 (ending at 11:00) with the second games beginning at 11:30 (winners v. winners / losers v. losers - ending at 1:30). For further info please call Ray at 973-835-0989.
(2) Ray also advised that a new batting cage has been built at the new Stonetown field which all teams will have the use of. Considering the fact that all leagues (thanks to the actions of the Finance Committee) made a $1,000 contribution towards the construction costs, this access only seems fair. Teams should contact Joe Lerro (973-839-5846) to schedule cage use.
(3) There is also a new concession stand in Stonetown and Ray was wondering if our league would have any interest in operating it during our season.
(3) There is approximately $1,200 in the league budget. Registration is scheduled for Saturday, June 11 from 9-12 with the fees being $35 for Ringwood residents / $45 out of town.
Finally, I just want to express my thanks and appreciation to all of you for your assistance in helping me over these last three years. Special thanks to Chris (equipment), Maria (scheduling), and Anne Marie (league website). I wish all of you the best -- both on and off the field -- in 2005.
