NOTICE: AGM DATE!!!

As we are wrapping up our seasons I need everyone to mark August 24 on their calenders. We are changing the time of year for the AGM from a winter meeting to a late summer meeting. This allows us to set the agenda for the competitive season and collect dues regarding it. For the college clubs that will be relatively inactive for the summer, we must have some point of contact. Please email me if your club leadership changes.

The time and place will be announced later. For now, I need every club to mark the date on their calenders and prepare your club to have the dues ready for the upcoming fall season.

We are working on fall schedules for the collegiate teams.

Respectfully,

Matthew A. Doss, Esq.
IRFU President

Hey everyone,
If there is no motley, then one option to keep the number of games even is the top two teams in Group A will play each other to further determine seeding for the championship and third place matches. We will figure something out.

The reality is this thing has already had two last minute changes and my guess is there will be at least two more by 9:15 tomorrow morning.  Let’s roll with this as is and adjust accordingly.  Matt Doss and I will do our best to put together as good a format as possible.

What can you do to help?

• If you are not going to make it tomorrow then let us know today.
• Be there promptly at the 9:00 Captains/Referees meeting so we can be done by 9:10.
• Have your teams ready to kick-off ten minutes prior to the scheduled start times.  We need to keep ahead of schedule to offset the inevitable tie breakers that will occur.
• If you think you may have some players for Motley, then please let us know today.

Last year was a bit hectic with last minute changes and it still turned out to be a great tournament.  This year will be even better.
