WWNEPSSA Meeting Minutes
November 11, 2001 Westminster School
1) Welcome – Jeff Pilgrim

2) Treasurer’s Report – Charlie Mitchell

- Just over $1,600 in so far, 4 schools not in but "on the way"

3) Trophies for #1 Teams:

Large School: Loomis Chaffee

Small School: Wilbraham and Munson

4) Playoff’s handed out, coaches meet with Jeff after meeting

5) Topics for discussion:

a) Proposal to drop Storm King from the League until they regain varsity

status

- unanimous agreement

b) "Overtimes and / or 45 minute halves"

- daylight savings questions

- last time it was rejected by AD’s and Heads

- everyone else does 45’s (boys, colleges, travel/town teams, etc)

- 10 minutes of OT is actually more than 10 minutes in reality b/c of

switching ends and break times, 45’s truly only add 10 minutes

- OT’s emphasize "finding winners", 45’s just make it more equitable

- 10 more minutes would make a bench more important

- gender equity

- ties can be learning experiences

** Vote on OT’s = virtually unanimously "no"

** Vote on 45’s = 28 yes, 6 no

c) Reporting scores

- some schools were great, most pretty good, a few terrible

- essential to the system functioning

- proposal: every coach puts $15 into "pot" at beginning of the year and

gets $1 back for each score they report in a timely manner at the end of

the year

d) Next fall’s meeting at Westminster, Sunday, September 15th, 2002 @

12:30pm (Thanks Molly!!)

e) End line changes – keep them or switch to no changes on end lines?

** Vote: one dissent, all others voted to keep system same as current

f) Discussion of which games count towards records:

college JV’s? non-league? WWNEPSSA / other NEPSAC / non-NEPSAC?

g) Slate of officers re-appointed (no vote, just a unanimous verbal

"consent" from group)

h) Discussion about tournament decisions and equity of system – problems

with selection process were raised by some – some discussion about

strength of schedule and weight of other factors in decision

- Charlie Mitchell
