Director Premier: The deadline for entry to Presidio Cup is November 1, 2009. Kathy reviewed the penalty
point deduction list with the membership. Three leagues/clubs have had investigations regarding irregularities
concerning registration form problems and two of the leagues/clubs have been referred to Cal South for PAD
action as appropriate to each event.
Director AAA: Rick noted we are still seeing the following problems:
Coaches and Team Administrators:
Not properly entering game infractions causing Caution (C) conflicts, and not knowing the (C) on the game
schedule means that a conflict resulting to both teams not entering the same players with cautions.
Field Safety:
Please make sure you fields are safe to play on. We had a U-13 girl get injured, requiring 11 stitches because
the home team had their metal bench too close to the sidelines. The player fell onto the corner of the bench
causing the injury. Please focus on insuring our fields are safe for our players.
Director North: Toni spoke about the Red/Yellow Card report and the point’s deductions system. She
expressed concern about the continuing number of games with lopsided scores and asked the representatives to
take the concerns back to their clubs, coaches and teams.
Assistant Director North: Bj expressed a concern the rainout policy was not current. Member clubs/leagues
are encouraged to check the “Mudlines” that exist on almost all of the clubs/leagues web sites as well as the
Presidio web site if there is any question about the field being playable.
Director South: Mabel noted there were at least 8 games still not scored in the ADG system and urged the
clubs/leagues to review their completed games and make sure the scores were properly entered. If the games
have not been played, then get the games scheduled or they might result in non-played games at the conclusion
of the season.
Assistant Director South: Reminded the clubs/leagues to check on the remaining open re-schedule games
that need to be scheduled as soon as possible. There are approximately 20 games that fall into that category.
Vice President: No report.
President: Doug noted the revised seeding criteria will be published in November to be reviewed and
approved by the membership.

The subject of parents of teams refereeing a game in which their child is participating was discussed. There is
not a rule preventing this situation, but the action is discouraged because of the obvious potential problems that
might ensue.
Another reminder, no referee badge, no game. Do not play a game with an unlicensed referee or a referee who
cannot produce a current badge or the receipt from the referee association indicating the referee is current.
Referees must fill out the game sheet and fill in the score and sign the game sheet at the conclusion of the game.
Please note Mr. Johnnie Garza, Cal South Assistant Vice President will attend our November 2009 meeting.
