NVYSL: No meeting since last Littleton board meeting. Continued discussion regarding our thoughts on how flights get setup. Sensitive to gamesmanship and sandbagging. Littleton would suggest #1 – All MTOC teams come out of 1 MTOC flight. #2 How to choose the two teams: Top 4 play for MTOC 1 seed, Next 4 play for MTOC 2 seed.

SAGE PCI compliance: TLS 1.0 is disabled by LeagueAthletics so we are good. Bobby receive an image to put on our site if we want to include it.

Tax Returns: Bob to register us with the State, we somehow never did that. We need to track our scholarships, donations, refunds.

MYSA: Tommy to work on preseason MYSA player/coach registration. Any MYSA assistance requests that we have for them, they are asking? One suggestion - maybe ask for tryout evaluators?

Meeting adjourned at 9:36pm
