President’s Voice

Excessive Speed Pitches

New Web Page

Kevin Kimmell gave a presentation on a new Silver League home page concept that he is currently developing. The design integrates third-party season management features currently provided by League Lineup, with Silver League information and history. This concept would minimize the impact of changes when and if we switch third-party providers, by allowing us to easily port League data. For third-party software vendors, Kevin discussed findings through conversations with Quick Scores and Roger Mears discussed his findings through conversations with TeamSnap ONE. A lengthy discussion including a Q&A session followed.

A motion to approve Kevin’s development approach was unanimously approved.

A motion to use TeamSnap ONE as our season management platform for 1 year was approved by a 5-1 vote with Kevin Kimmell abstaining. Dennis Nutt, Dave Madjerich, John Galizio, Bryon Wine and Dick Kostko voted for the motion. Bryan Hill cast the lone vote against the motion.

Prior to this meeting, the Board voted unanimously by a digital vote on June 28th, not to approve a three-year contract with TeamSnap ONE to host the new League website. The cost would have been $700 a year.

Door Prize Committee

John G reported that George Mahaffey is working on this.
