B. Second Week, Mini-Meeting # 5: State Day Issues.  

1. Assess the value of a State Day Point.
Resolution of Issue # 1
--The value of a point earned at State Day will be determined by the Board of Directors at the end of the season and will be dependent upon the revenues earned from that seasons State Days. 

This will be printed in the State Day book.  

            2. The method for selecting winners at State Day. 

RESOLUTION OF ISSUE # 2--Place all State Day winners where they earn the greatest number of points possible.  The progression would be 1st gross, 1st net, 2nd gross, 2nd net, 3rd gross, and 3rd net.  (If two players have the same gross score but different net scores, it is possible that one might receive 1st gross and the other 1st net, thus avoiding a tie situation.) 

            3. The method for placing teams in divisions for the Final State Day.           

Unresolved. 

4. The recommendations from the State Day Handicap Division Committee that  Kathy Allbright Chaired. 

Issue #1: Keep state days in the same format with the proposed change in the handicap flights to be as follows:

                                                A -     0 - 15                

                                                B - 15.1 - 20               

                                                C - 20.1 - 24  

                                                D - 24.1 - 29

                                                E - 29.1 - 36 

Issue #2:  Field Size:  Everyone voted to support any State Days - if the field size is less than 16, only one low gross and one low net prize will be awarded.  Ties  will be honored. 

Issue #3: AWARDING TIES: I would leave this up to the board at this point to decide how they want to handle ties.

 

RESOLUTIONS TO  ISSUE # 4.  The committee recommendations were accepted by the Board.  Since the committee could not come to a decision concerning the awarding of ties, the Board voted to leave the practice of awarding ties for State Days for the 2007 season

            5. Any concerns you may have.

The board did not have time to open the floor for any concerns’ discussion.
