Due to unplayable/unsafe field conditions from recent and current rain, the Executive Board has made the decision to cancel all games scheduled for Saturday, May 6th. After reviewing standings for all divisions and seeing that each team has played an even number of games, the outcome of 8U and 12U would not be affected.

10U division: Coaches for Visit Napa Valley (Ryan Fennie) & Boardgarden (Michelle Pepper) have agreed on a coin flip to determine dugout placement (Home vs Away) for their scheduled Game 1 of the Spring Fling Tournament. 

No questions were asked, no issues were discussed, and all attendees were in agreement.

Meeting closed at 9:20am
