2019 League Schedule is up!!
Hi all,
1. League fees for 2019 $650 – DUE MARCH 15, 2019
a. Increase in league fees – New West is now charging for fields that we use for our tournament
2. Returning teams – All 7 teams have expressed interest in returning this season and we will have one new team (the Misfits have split into 2 teams and the new team is called Pylons), this means we have an even number of teams so no need for a bye week!
3. League games – the league will start on April 18, 2019 and run until July 25, 2019) – once we have all of the league fees, I will put the schedule together and get it out to you ASAP
4. Tournament – same fields at last season – Riley Park in New Westminster – June 22, 23 (Please confirm participation in tournament by May 31, 2019 as we will need to budget the correct number of games for the umps at that time)
a. NEW TOURNAMENT RULE: those present at meeting voted to have a differential of 2 home runs and any further being a double for the tournament only
5. SPN insurance – I will set up the league for the SPN waivers this weekend, if you have any questions regarding what needs to be done to complete let me know – please note, if you are adding new players, check to see if they have an existing profile with SPN that you can add rather than creating a duplicate
6. Fields – Strathcona, Collingwood, Bobolink, Gordon Park (4 at Jonathan Rogers) – will send out google links with the schedule
7. Rules – Clarification asked about how the plate/mat should be set up & how the batting order works with 3 girls and 4 or more girls – this will be included with the email that has the schedule/field information/league contacts etc.
8. Rules – Clarification – it was agreed by those present at the meeting that the catcher can have their foot on any part of the rectangle strike zone to register an out at home (plate or mat)
9. Website – Bernie will maintain the website again
10. Rules committee – We need two members to join Bernie on the rules committee, please ask your teams for volunteers and provide me with names ASAP – the first two names I get will join Bernie J There really isn’t much to do for rules committee, we need to update with the out at home plate & tournament home run rule and all you have to do is as a group make rulings if issues come up during the season. Last year there were no issues brought up.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Reminder: Rain Outs
Just a quick reminder: if the weather is bad and it looks like there may be a potential rain-out, please contact the captain of the team you are playing.
From our league rules:
9. Rain outs will be decided on game day by the team captains. The decision cannot be unilateral and does not have to be made prior to 3:00 pm. If one captain feels the game should be played, both teams must show up at the part to determine if the game is playable. Should one team fail to appear it will result in a forfeit for that team. Rain outs can be made up at both team’s convenience. If the game is not rescheduled, it will be deemed a tie. It is the responsibility of the team captains to make arrangements for rescheduling a rain out. No team is obligated to play a makeup game. If one team wants to play a makeup game, opposing captains should do their best to accommodate this.
A season end draws near...
Hey everyone,
We are now in our final week of ball. Hope you've all enjoyed another enjoyable season!
For the most part the weather has been great, if not, too hot!
As for a year-end league get-together, nothing has yet been confirmed. When we know more, a message will be sent out to the team captains. Stay tuned.
