If the outgoing manager does not want to cede manager responsibilities, a player(s) from the current\/prior calendar year roster has first rights for management of the team. The league must be notified ASAP. If no one accepts the team, ownership will be given to the league president to find a replacement.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>If there are team ownership issues, each team will be allowed one (1) representative for voting at league meetings although other players may attend and be recognized by the chair during any discussion. The league president will be 1-1\/2 votes to break a tie should a vote be deadlocked.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Any team that has a league fee or fine not paid can be dropped from the league, per a league vote.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Next schedule meetings: March 26 6:30p at Ski&#8217;s and <span data-term=\"goog_1509793669\">April 23<\/span> 6:30p at Cub and Spanks<\/p>\n<p>See you at the next meeting.
