Board Members Absent: Jack Reynolds
A.
Extension
of Cross Country Season. The strongest
complaint about the change revolves around questions of payment for an
additional week of work for coaches.
B.
Limit
opportunity for second team from a district to compete at state. The board would be in favor of this.
C.
Classification
nomenclature. Discussion revolved
around the B, 1A-5A nomenclatures rather than the 1B, 2B that has been
suggested. Nearly 25% of the schools in
the state could have the perception of “going down” because of the choice of
classification titles. A survey ought
to be made of the numbers of schools affected by the change and use that data
in the decision making process.
D.
Season
for 1A/B Boys Soccer. The Sea-King
District Board recommends that the WIAA board have a boys’ 1A/B tournament in
the fall and a 1A/2A tournament in the spring. A second option would be to keep
both boys 1A and B in the fall.
E.
Tournament
site selection. New sites will be
selected for each of the tournaments.
Bob Dowding expressed some concern about B baseball regionals and hopes
to stay in Yakima. Craig reminded us
all that there will be additional tournaments in several sports and will
require some changes.
A. Violations
B. Review Fall Tournament. Ticket reconciliation reports are improving dramatically over past years. We have made a better effort to educate the managers and they have responded with great results this fall. Gill James brought up a discussion item compensating football teams who have to go across the pass to play in first or second round games. Members were asked to take this issue back to their leagues and discuss it. We will then look at it at the next meeting and determine whether we need to form a committee to review the entire financial arrangements used in the district. Should funds for travel come directly from the district or from the district funds returned to leagues?
C. Winter District Tournament Dates, Sites, & Managers. Report list of managers to Marilyn.
D. Proposed Amendments for Rep. Assembly. The members are not aware of any amendments coming out of our district.
E. Submit Amendments for Spring Rep. Assembly. Deadline December 1
F. Classification Discussion.
G. Kingco Coaches School Report. Gill James, Jim Judson, Doug Bruketta reported on the coaches school. There were 100 paid attendees. About 65 went to all the sessions. They identified several things to review and make changes. The coaches school only needs $200 rather than the requested $1000 to cover costs. Gill will send Marilyn a request for payment. The board appreciated Mickey Fowler’s efforts to get the information out to the middle schools. The committee will look at doing it again. The board thanked Gill and the committee for hosting this.
H. Fall District Tournament/Play-Off Financial Report. Marilyn reported on the 3A and 1A tournament financial resorts that we have so far. She will report on the finalized tournaments in January.
I.
Nominations for Sea-King District 2 Athletic
Director of the Year. Members
should take this topic back to your leagues and bring back the names and
information on your candidate.

Sea-King District 2 Executive Secretary Report: Tom & Marilyn Doyle
A.
Correspondence. Several letters were
submitted to the WIAA about the fall soccer for 1A/B. A letter from Auburn Adventist was included requesting permission
to play in the Sea-Tac league next year.
Northwest Yeshiva has asked the district to make accommodations for
track this spring by moving the district meet off a Saturday. The Sea-Tac league and the tri-district
committees will discuss how to make this happen.
