Other comments on Scheduling:
Age groups/divisions:
Our intent is to maintain our current system of allowing 6 "2nd year" players to roster with "A" teams for next year. We also intend to grant exceptions to that rule in situations where there is a limited pool of participants or if the team is 2nd or 3rd in line to select players. How would you describe your position on this rule? Strongly in favor
Please provide us with your opinion, especially if you have strong feelings one way or another.
Track the historical record of those teams/players in previous years/levels that are requesting "exceptions" to determine where they will be most cocmpetitive.
We have a tradition of seperating our given divisions geographically when we reach a total of 10-12 teams. Would you like to see that break point go: Unchanged
Tournament:
How would you rate the end of season Tournament? Excellent
Plans are already underway for next year's tournament. One possible change being considered is the replacement of consolation games with a consolation bracket for 1st round losers. (Please refer to sample brackets linked from "News" section on our website) Would you be in favor of this change? Yes
Consideration is being given to the addition of a "Bronze Medal" game for the two losers in the Semi-Final games. If your team were in that position would you want to participate in such a game? Yes
Plans for the Tournament were discussed at the September Scheduling Meeting and were discussed at subsequent BTHL Board meetings. Updates were posted on the BTHL Web page with brackets, game times, hotel information, fees, etc.
Did you check the Web page for updates? Yes
Do you think you were sufficiently kept informed about the tournament? Yes

Volunteers:
We would like to add "Level Directors" to help enforce Roster compliance and resolve scheduling issues during the season. With enough volunteers we hope to have seperate individuals responsible for each age group and possibly each division. Would you be willing to volunteer for such a position? No
Returning officers for the 2002-03 season are filling most board positions. However, please indicate if you might be interested in filling a board position, volunteers will not be turned away. Committees are always in need. Not interested
If interested please provide a phone# or some other way to contact you: No response
The BTHL is run solely with volunteers from member organizations. In some cases, board members don't have players in the league. Do you have any suggestions on how the BTHL can better identify volunteers for board positions and committees?
