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.
