• Area 3 Director - Al Melendez ran unopposed, so he wins another term as Director.
• 7-run limit for all innings except last, open inning was voted in for the 50's Division.
• Pitching height remains at a 12-foot limit.

• In a very close vote, the current boundaries for The Villages will remain.
• The State Tournaments will remain in December.
• Home team and visitor will continue to be assigned by the scheduler.
• In another close vote, the pitcher will continue to have to be in contact with the rubber when he releases the ball.
• Players can now return to their previous team after 3 calendar tournament months have passed.  This means the player will not be able to play for his previous team in the next 3 tournaments, but if his previous team does not play in any of those months, they still count as months he cannot return.
• A player may begin playing in the new 80's Division starting on January 1st of the year he turns 79, so he may play at age 78 as long as he turns 79 on or before December 31st of that year.
