| This goes out to all who are wanting to play some fall softball I am looking for any ideas that you might have that you would like to see in the league.........all ideas will be considered...Dan has done a great job of getting the league to where it is and would like to see it do better....I dont know how it can be done but would like to try and get league fees as low as possiable so maybe we could get more teams....just let me know what you think

| Food for thought for everyone. Per game costs approx:
1 Umpire = $20
Lights = $5
Scorekeeper = $8
Park/Field Prep = $2
Lime = $1
So just the basics come to $36 a game or $18 a team. $18 x say 16 games = $288.
That doesn't include trophies, balls, or your $30 ASA registration fee if your TEAMNAME didn't play in the summer league.

| An idea to get more teams involved...Send some kind of mailing to local businesses or put an article about the league in the newspaper. We wanted to have a team but had to really had to search to find the league.

| Lester, last year I had it put in the Southern Illinoisan. Call the paper and ask for the sports desk. They'll put a little blurb in the paper about the league starting. If they do more than that or if they put in an ad, then we'd have to pay for it. I didn't have any new teams sign up because of the newspaper ad, so I didn't do it this year. But it wouldn't hurt.
I have never had any luck with the Marion Daily Republican. Don't know why, but I've tried a couple of times.
Don used to have them put the standings in the paper like every other week, but we didn't have the website back then.
