 1st order of business: remove managerial discretion as a standard practice. Managers will no longer be able to agree to amend or forego a league rule or policy, for any SSIL regular season or playoff game. Be added to the local rules as an amendment. 
 

 The board will select teams for next season. They will rate the players and place on teams accordingly with the assistant of statistical analysis where needed. 
 

Managers will poll players from their teams for attendance for the End of the Year party and forward results to the president.

Subsitutions will now be chosen two (2) levels down(ex. A+ to B+) from the missing player and they will be restricted to the right side of the field, 1B, RF, & catcher. Managers can select three (3) down in order for the sub to play anywhere on the field. As always subs will bat at the bottom of the lineup. This will be clarified in the local rule book. 
 

The 24/25 season will consist of two (2) seasons. First half Sept - Dec./ second half Jan- April. Approximately 22 to 25 games per half. Playoffs will be best out of three (3) for the both halves. Playoffs and rain days will be scheduled first and the regular season games will be played up until the day, just prior to the first rain date. 
 

The pitcher's screen has been deemed at the end of life. The board will secure a new wider, more sturdy screen for next season and beyond. 
 

The defibrillator will become part of the pregame setup and postgame put away by the home team. It will be stored in a lockbox in the pavilion/clubhouse.
