Managers, it is time to break with tradition, and consider moving the State Tournaments to the fall, for multiple reasons:

1. December is a tough month because of the upcoming holidays.  Our wives will be happy.
2. We have become so large that it is a very difficult job to prepare the rosters for December play and also begin the process for play in the next year.
3. By playing in the fall, teams will be allowed to bring on board their new players (for the rest of the year) that are turning:  Ex.  49, 59, 64, 69, and 73.
4. The Board will make qualification alterations for eligibility for both players and teams for this year.  The Board will consider 5 for the teams and 3 for the players for the 50's and 60's, and 2 and 1 for the 70's, for this year only.
