7. If you want stats posted each event will need score keepers and a web master. Do you want score keepers? Do you want stats?
8. Balls: Do you want 2 new balls per game or start the day with 3 balls and have one new and 1 new per game?
The cost of the league will be determined once we know the number of teams that are committed. All cities require deposits in December, I may ask the local team for an event to secure those fields. WCFA worked jointly with Nafa and ASA in 2013 regeristing all teams and umpires in both associations. We plan on continuing this practice in 2014 and working with Fred Williams and the Hawwiaan League. In order to start the league, we are asking all teams to put up a $250 deposit in November and a payment plan will be available in January 2014. Please contact Bob with your answers or I will be calling you to discuss the survey
