Roster Violations

The following teams have played games while in violation of the BTHL roster rules and now owe a $50 fine. Please note that any additional violations will result in game forfeiture:

Please send your payment directly to our league treasurer, Dr Keith Kenitzer. His address is at the top of our Contacts page. Your team team will be listed in italics when your roster status is in compliance and will be crossed out when payment is received.

Competition Committee

The BTHL is now forming a Competition Committee to research plans for a preseason evaluation process for teams entering the league. This is a research only committee which will report findings and recommendations for a preseason evaluation of teams for the 2007/2008 season. The BTHL would like representation from as many Organizations as possible. Please forward all inquiries to nkic@fuse.net and I will compile the list and get the process started.

Thanks,
Hugh Miller, BTHL President

Unreported Game Results

It is the home team's responsibility to report scores but I will take results from anyone. Please check out the unreported scores and, if you have knowledge of the results for any of these games, please share it with me. Send an email to Len@HoltgrevenScale.com and I'll promptly post it. It doesn't matter if you're a "team official", I just want the results. All I need is Game#, Home Score, Visiting Score. Make it easy on yourself, the briefer the better, I don't need team names, dates or times. The game #s will give me all the details, all I need is the score.

Regarding game misconducts, BOTH teams are responsible for reporting them. Send your division director an email and follow it up with a FAXED scoresheet. Normally there should be some hand written notes from the officials on the back of the scoresheet so be sure to fax both front and back. The home team should also mail in a copy of the scoresheet in the event that something is not readable on the fax.

Statistics are entered by team managers. Both home and away teams have access to enter stats and they can be entered and updated an unlimited number of times.

Non-league and tournament games add interest and you're encouraged to add them to your schedule. Managers, click on the [Edit Schedule] button at the bottom of your schedule and then [Add] game at the bottom of the resulting screen. After the games show up on your schedule the results can be reported in the same manner as a league game, including individual player statistics.

Thanks for your help!
Len

Game Result Reporting

League games are under way and this is a reminder regarding game reporting:

1. Be sure to submit your USA Hockey Roster to your division director BEFORE playing any league games! Please read the BTHL rule regarding rosters. We currently have teams that have played games in violation of this rule. They now owe $50 fines and future games are subject to forfeiture.
2. Home teams are responsible for reporting results. We would like to have them Sunday evening or first thing Monday morning. My goal is to post an up-to-date and complete League Standings on Monday morning, and it would be nice to do it just once. People appreciate the promptness and without "your single game" it's not complete. Please do your part to support your league.
3. Home teams are responsible for mailing Scoresheets to the Division Directors. (Don't send them to me, I don't want them!) This is to be done on a weekly basis. Make it part of your routine to follow through with this. The Division Directors have a big job and by doing your part you can make their job much easier.
4. It's the home team's responsibility to report scores but note that I will take results from ANYONE (that means you!). Check out the unreported scores and, if you know the results for one of the games, please share it with me. Send an email to Len@HoltgrevenScale.com and I'll post it. It doesn't matter if you're a "team official", I just want the results (and rest assured that the accuracy will be verified with the submitted scoresheet). All I need is Game#, Home Score, Visiting Score. The briefer the better, I don't need (or want) any commentary.
5. BOTH teams are responsible for reporting game misconducts. Send your division director an email and follow it up with a FAXED scoresheet. Normally there should be some hand written notes from the officials on the back of the scoresheet so be sure to fax both front and back. The home team should also mail in a copy of the scoresheet in the event that something is not readable on the fax.
6. Statistics are entered by team managers. Both home and away teams have access to enter stats and they can be entered and updated an unlimited number of times.
7. You're encouraged to add your non-league and tournament games to your schedule. (Managers, click on the [Edit Schedule] button at the bottom of your schedule and then [Add] game at the bottom of the resulting screen. After the games show up on your schedule the results can be reported in the same manner as a league game, including individual player statistics. Note that the statistics will show up for the non-league games, but they will not be included with the summarized stats shown on the team roster. The summarized stats are for league games only.
