On Wednesday Jan 10th 2024 we met at Dolce Vita to set up the new season. 11 teams registered and there is hope that we will have one more team before matches start.

The evening began with mingling, small talk,  New Year greetings, and some promises of vengeance for past defeats.

Our esteemed President opened proceedings and informed the captains that there will be no matches on April 10th and it can be used for make up matches. May 15th is also a holiday but it is undecided if there will be matches on this date.

The captains were then reminded about the rules for slow play, shot clock, and timeouts. They were encouraged to familiarize themselves with the rules and to use them as necessary.

There were also questions about double-hit/push shots and frozen balls. Again the captains were encouraged to review all the rules and to also ensure players who referee the games are also familiar with them.

The captains then voted on whether or not to scrap personal rating points for doubles tournaments. The resolution was defeated by 7 votes to 3 and so there will be no change.

There was a discussion about creating a 5th executive committe position. This member would be in charge of IT and social media. Andrew and Ben agreed to discuss the issue further and report back at a later date.

The meeting was thus concluded in an atmosphere of cooperation, fraternity, and bonhomie.
