President’s Report:  (Harry Rowe)
The purpose of the Board Meeting is to finalize arrangements for the upcoming player draft.

Atlantic Division President’s Report: (Jay Harrington)

In order to have 16 players on each team in the Atlantic Division, 14 new players will have to be drafted. So far there are only 11 players eligible for the Atlantic Division draft.  There are some several potential players that have not committed to playing this year. Phil suggested he call them tonight for a final decision on whether they intend to play.

Coastal Division President’s Report: (Mike Abernathy)
Fourteen new players are needed to complete the rosters for the Coastal Division. It appears that there will be enough players. A motion was made and approved reconfirming the present rules of the draft along with the drafting process.

Treasurer Report (Mike Fleming).
Team balances are as follows: Eagles - $0,  Osteos - $56.98, Roosters - $19.11, Terminators - $162.92, Legends - $1,403.24, Jiffy Lube - $1,088.63, Champions - $1,033.80, Cardinals - $1,157.07, Patriots - $549.03, and Batter Up - $1,094.08.
So far 106 players have paid for the 2010 season. The League bank balance at Feb. 28 was $16,068.82.

Old Business:  
Jay recommended next year the rain dates be interspersed throughout the season rather than accumulated at the end of June or the end of Sept.

George suggested that the spirit of formality of games be maintained, that is, managers should enforce the rules of players wearing their proper team uniform and cap when in the game.

Bill reported that he had a good response from players providing inputs and opinions on the idea of dividing the league into three parts by age. He will report on later on the concept at a later meeting.

Bill will also meet with the umpires regarding knowledge of the rules prior to the season opening.

The meeting was adjourned at 4:03 PM                    
Respectfully,
George Wesoloski, Secretary
