Rick Ford, Special Events Coordinator called the meeting to order at 6:30 p.m. Members Present: Absent: Paul Drake Rick Ford Nancy Bertholf Ann Hall David Maronge Kim Fleming Libby Fulgham Kari Bersano Hootie Nix Andy Wood REGULAR SESSION: Motion # 1: Ann Hall made a motion to approve the CSA Coaching Rules with the following changes to Item 2. Kim Fleming seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. CSA Coaching Rules All coaches, assistant coaches and any adults on the field or in the dugout are required to have a background check prior to being permitted on the field. For ASA softball, the head coach and at least on assistant coach must be certified and registered through “ACE”. (Item 2) Motion # 2: Ann Hall made a motion to approve CSA League Rules-Baseball and CSA League Rules-Softball with the following changes. Kari Bersano seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. CSA League Rules-Baseball All TTAB t-ball teams shall follow the free substitution rule where teams will bat their entire roster and are allowed unlimited substitutions during regular season games except when playing at another league’s facility. When at another league’s facility, teams will follow local rules. The remaining TTAB boy’s baseball divisions may allow free substitution if both team’s coaches are in agreement before the start of the game. When using the free substitution rule, the last batted out may enter the game for an injured player (using the last batted out will insure the substitute will not come up in the lineup while on base) or the last player out will serve as the designated runner for the injured. A player lost to injury while following this rule will not be an automatic out in the batting order as long as nine players remain on the order. (Item 10) If the first game of the evening (also second game if three games are scheduled) ends up in a tie, the game will go into one extra inning. If the game is still a tie, then the game will be suspended and rescheduled at the first available date. If the last game of the evening ends in a tie after regular play, then the game will go into extra innings until the tie is broken. (Item 20)  CSA League Rules-Softball All teams in CSA softball shall follow the free substitution rule where teams will bat their entire roster and are allowed unlimited substitutions during regular season games except when playing at another league’s facility.
