Motions for BOG Meeting August 17, 2010

ARTICLE VII PROTEST AND AMENDMENTS (pg 51)
Section II:
Amendments to these By Laws will be by a simple majority vote of the Members at the
Members Meeting. Change from 2/3rds in spring to simple majority at all meetings.

Section III: DUTIES OF THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS SHALL BE AS FOLLOWS:
J) (pg 46)
10) Motion for the "Most Improved Players"
When appropriate an award will be given to the “Most Improved Player”. This perpetual
trophy was donated by Hollywood Trophy along with the cost of adding future honorees.
The Board will submit candidates based on improved average and sportsmanship. The
award is the “Frank Bustamante Most Improved Players Award”

PLAYING RULES (Implemented last season on a trial basis)
48: COACHING –REGULAR SEASON (pg 43)
New (first Season) players to the LAPL have unlimited “time-outs” All other players will
be limited to four, Thirty (30) second “time-outs” per game during regular season play.
The time outs can be called by any member of the team and any number of teammates
may advise. A player may elect to use two of their “time-outs” at one announced time-
out period, by indicating “extension”. Extension must be called before the thirty (30)
second time out has expired. A 10 second warning must be announced to the player
before the time-out expires. At the conclusion of the time out “TIME” shall be called. If
coaching continues after “Time” is called, it is a foul.

Section IV: WEST COAST CHALLENGE (WCC) REQUIREMENTS (pg 50)
D) If you start play (which begins at the closing of registration) in any individual Playoff
event (including Hi/Lo) and decide not to finish before you have reached the WCC
qualifying rounds, you will forfeit your rights to:
1). Play in any WCC event for that current season……

Proposed by Jon Bourgault Change to Section IV: H. WCC Requirements (pg 50)
I would like to propose replacing the Tops and Bottoms tourney and its automatic bid
to the WCC.
In its place, I propose an event that is open to any individual who has never qualified
for the WCC (as an individual). Only the original winner of the event will represent the
LAPL as the 8th place player in that seasons event. If the winner cannot make it, the 8th
place spot will be filled by the 8th place player at the Individuals event and if that player
cannot attend, the alternate from the individuals will go and so on. A possible name
would be the “Last Chance Qualifier” or Rising Star”
