New Player Fee Procedure Announced

David Race
June 27, 2009

t the Mid-season Captain's Meeting on June 15^th, League President Heather Finklang announced that, effective with the Fall 2009 Season, player fees will be paid in advance, rather than the current $2.00/week. Player fees are calculated as $4.00/team/week in Doubles Leagues (Monday/Wednesday) & $8.00/team/week in Team Leagues (Tuesday/Thursday). Thus, player fees are $60.00 for Monday/Wednesday teams and $120.00 for Tuesday/Thursday teams for the Fall & Winter Seasons (normally 15 weeks) and $48.00 for Monday/Wednesday teams and $96.00 for Tuesday/Thursday teams for the Summer Season (normally 12 weeks).

simplify the collection of player fees & improve budgeting
reduce League expenses
reduce both the Scorekeeper's and Treasurer's workload

So she announced that, effective Fall 2009, the player fee would be a flat $20.00/person/night. This was met with significant resistance and led to a long, and sometimes contentious, discussion. It became very clear to Heather (and the rest of the BOD present) that the BOD would need to reassess their decision. More...

Darts Discussion Forums in Email

here are now several email-based discussion forums about darts to choose from, with focus' from purely local to world-wide. The SCDL email list is intended for league members only with a focus on league issues. The "StlDartSteel" list is open to all and is for and about steel-tip darts in the St. Louis area. Last, but not least is the Cyber/Darts email group, with a national and international flavor.

THE SCDL GROUP:

or those members who wish to participate, an email discussion list has been created for league members only.

Many league members have participated in email "discussions" in the past, but the recipients have been limited to the original distribution list. This email group will allow any league member to post opinions or start a discussion about league issues simply by sending an email to a single address. All subscribers to the list will receive the message and can reply to the whole group, but the discussion will stay "in the family" since only league members are allowed to join the list.

All of the Board of Directors who have email will be members of the list, so any message sent to the list will be seen by the members of the Board as well as every other list member.

To join the list, click the button below. Each request must be approved by a moderator to ensure that only league members join. After you have been approved, you will receive a "welcome" email. League membership is the only requirement - all league members who request list membership will be approved.
