WIAA Executive Board Report: Craig
Olson, Chris Bigelow
A.
The
board had a conference call last week regarding ABM. ABM forfeited all their contests because of an expired
physical. The board upheld the appeal.
B.
There

C.

6. Sea-King District 2 Executive Board President Report: Mickey Fowler
A.
Violations. Approved league sanctions.
B.
Exec. Board Position – Principal – SeaTac League to nominate a principal
to serve on the Sea-King Board
C. Site Selection for Football/Soccer Discussion. Tom presented some site selection criteria for discussion. M/S/P.
D. Classification Discussion. Leagues reported on possible movement between classifications – which schools might be moving up or down a classification. There appears to be quite a bit of movement ahead and leagues need more time to determine what direction they are going to go. Stay tuned!
E. Coaches Passes – WSCA. The board originally passed a motion to allow the WSCA passes to allow coaches into district playoffs. After reviewing this, we determined that we needed to discuss this again as the revenue from WSCA goes to the district, but the revenues from tournament games might be going to the leagues. After discussion, the board recommended going ahead with this.
F.
Review Fall Tournament/Play-Off Status. Thanks to Interlake and Sammamish for allowing the 1A/2B soccer
and football into their stadiums this fall.
The board appreciates the willingness of schools and athletic directors
to support the district level playoffs.
Thanks to all! Discussion also
revolved around the football playoffs with Bellevue, O’Dea, Skyline all playing
at 9am. We believe that this will
really hurt the attendance at these contests.
If revenue is a concern, this may not be the best decision. WIAA should review criteria for game
times. West Side schools should not be
automatically put into a 9am contest to protect eastside travel.
G.
Tournament Managers/By-Laws Discussion. Following up on our audit review by Jim Murphy, we discussed how
to do a better job of getting tournament managers to report their tournament
data. Gill suggested a detailed outline
of the process for ticket managers would be helpful. We will see about adding Jim Murphy’s “WASL Ticket Manager’s
Test” to the materials. Marilyn will
look at adding a ticket manager job description to the process. Some tournament income from a contest this
year disappeared prior to being deposited – either stolen or lost. The board recommended that we put into
writing that reconciled deposits must be made the next business day. In addition, the board recommended that we
send a letter to the particular manager regarding the loss. M/S/P that the district should absorb the
loss, send the manager a letter about the incident, and create a “short form”
for the ticketing process.
H.
Winter District Tournament Dates, Sites & Managers. Marilyn asked leagues to discuss tournament sites and report on
who will be managing winter events as soon as possible.
I.
Proposed/Submit Amendments for Spring Rep. Assembly. Possible amendments to be presented by the December deadline
include: Girls Lacrosse – see the video
on the WIAA website for more information.
Let John Wiley know if you are in favor of adding lacrosse or if you
have concerns about it. A group will be
preparing for the Winter Coalition and would like to be prepared to make a
great presentation dealing with the pros and cons of adding the sport.
