March 2025 Board Meeting
3/4/2025

Some high-level topics of discussion from our March 3, 2025 Board Meeting:

 

Our new logo!  Designed by Tim Rice, 48+ Wildcats.

 

 

New Board Member:
Welcome long-time league member, Ron Watson, to the Board!  Ron will assume the 48+ Vice President role.

 

Board Resignations/Terms not Renewed:

  • Brent Henderson (18+ President)
  • Pat Scholer (48+ President)

We thank Brent & Pat for their years of service with the Board.  Both plan to continue to be active with the league, but elected to take a step back from active Board Participation.

 

Board Updates:

  • Bobby Williams to 48+ President
  • Ron Watson to 48+ VP
  • Cris Anderson to 30+ President
  • Curt Gomes to 30+ VP
  • Sam Cole to 18+ President
  • Chad Osler to 18+ VP (will remain as Secretary & Umpire Director)
  • Joe Smith to Director

 

Rules  (These have been updated in our local rules document.)

  • Clarified rules around the run-rule and time elapsed.
  • Clarified rules around the definition of a complete game, shortened by weather or some other incident outside of the league's normal control (lights, field issues, etc.).

Team count for 2025:

  • 18+:  Potential to add one team, total of 8.
  • 30+:  Current 5 teams
  • 40+:  Current 5 teams
  • 48+:  Potential to add one team, total of 5.

Age Division discussion, tabled to manager's meeting:

18+ & 48+ to remain unchanged.

Discuss moving from 30+ back to 28+ & 40+ back to 38+.

Possibility of a 58+/60+ short-season in fall.

Moving back to the "8s" would take us back to our original roots and evenly spread the age groups each by 10 years.  Would allow younger players to get to weeknight baseball sooner.
