D. Continued discussions were held on active, IR and IA players. Active players MUST pay to play. The cost will be the same for everyone no matter how many games they play. Also, there will be NO refunds in event of an injury, work, moving, etc.

E. BOD discussed that the minimum size of a team is the number agreed upon by both the league director and the coaches.
1. The feeling is that there should be enough people to field a team plus 3 more. However, this will be based on the number of players available, and will be done on a trial bases for the spring league to see if it works.
2. The board agreed to allow managers & league directors to develop a plan for substitutes specific to each league.
F. The BOD also voted to extend the current regulation concerning the age of players. Anyone currently 49 years old and older, or turning 49 during the upcoming season are eligible to play in the CSSA.

G. N. B. It was also determined that all players must pay to play by the first game of the season. We would like everyone to pay by check if possible.

1 After all bills had been paid for 2017, there was a beginning balance of $6896. As of today there is a balance of $10,927. This does not include 3 additional sponsor checks received in 2018.
2. Additional payments are to be made in January for softballs, insurance, web domain, incorporation renewal, etc.
3. As his last official act for the CSSA board, Ken will submit 1099’s and file the annual tax return for our non-profit corporation.
