1) Determined Prospective Teams

 

There are 7 definite returning teams (5 listed above along with CCC and “Eye of the Storm” which is a renaming of “The Killer P’s” from last season).  Paul Montenero emailed that he would have a returning CCC team and Mike Pappaceno told Steve Romero that he would have a team, “Eye of the Storm.” Adrian Celaru will not return for ALE according to Julian Hodos. ALE and the Honeywell team alone do not have enough players to form separate teams.  Steve Solomon and Mahesh Muttreja can only play part time.  Suresh Muttreja has agreed to contact Julian Hodos and the others to form a conglomerate of the two teams from last year.  Additional prospective players for that new team could include Jorge Soto, Walter Thomas, Mahesh Muttreja, Allan Parrish, and Matt Insogna.  That would make 8 teams to start.

 

2) Determined Team Numbers (selected by picking teams from a hat)

 

            #7 – Alu D, #4 – EDO, #2 – Alu C, #3 – CSI,

#1 – LSF, #6 – CCC, #5 – EOTS, #8 - Alu E/HON

 

3) Assuming the 8 teams, the 1st Round Pairings (September 19th) are as follows:

 

LSF (W) vs. AluE/HON (B) – LSF has a bye if an 8th team does not join.

AluC (W) vs. AluD (B)

CSI (W) vs. CCC (B)

EDO (W) vs. EOTS (B)

 

The rest of the schedule will be determined when the number of teams is finalized.

5) The Treasurer’s Financial Report from Paul Montenero was received by email: The LIICL has a balance of $265 in checking and $161 in savings.

 

6) Expenses for the year were estimated by Paul at approx. $1413.  With dues at $120 per team that would yield revenues of $960 and total funds available for operations at $1,386.  That is an estimated $27 shortfall.  It was decided that dues can be kept at the current $120/season level.

 

7) There were no rules changes proposed.
