1 Rohnert Park Girls Softball Association Standard Operating Procedures I. Guiding Principles PURPOSE: The purpose of these SOP S document is to establish the rules and procedures that shall guide the playing rules of this association, called the Rohnert Park Girls Softball Association (RPGSA). No governing document can cover all possible situations. Therefore, in addition to these SOP S, this association should never lose sight of its stated purpose and the best interest of the participants. SOP CHANGES: These SOP S may be changed at any regular meeting provided that: There is a quorum of Executive Board members. The proposed changes are submitted in writing. The changes are approved by a majority of voting members present. Voting: No member should vote on an issue in which they have a direct interest not common to other members of the organization. All votes are eligible for a secret ballot vote vs raising of the hands vote if a possible contentious vote is anticipated by the executive committee. II.

These members will be responsible for determining what recommendations are proposed to the board for approval. 8) In addition to committees all board members are expected to work at least 1 shift in the fireworks booth. III. Player Eligibility, Registration and Fees ELIGIBILITY: Girls registering with RPGSA must be residents of Sonoma County. At the completion of 1 year as an eligible player of the league, the player living outside the area will be grandfathered in. If a player quits her team in the middle of the season without sufficient explanation, that player will not be eligible to play in the subsequent season without submitting to the Board a written explanation of her justification for quitting prior to registration of the new season. The RPGSA Board may approve or disapprove the return of this player prior to her registration. PLAYING AGE: Playing age will be determined by the age attained prior to January 1st.

3 FEES: Pending requirements, fees may be modified from year to year with RPGSA Board approval. Board members will be able to have their children and grandchildren play recreation season at no charge. REGISTRATION: Registration will be held on a minimum of two (2) weekday/weekends. Any new girl wanting to be in the draft must be signed up before the skills assessment, or she will be on a waiting list. Returning girls who do not sign up prior to last sign up date will be put on a waiting list and will only be placed on a team on a space available basis. IV. League Structure AGE DIVISIONS: T-Ball 4-6; Midgets 7-8; Rookies 9-10; Minors 11-12; Majors TEAMS: The number of teams in the league and the number of girls on each team may vary each year. As a group, we must consider the amount of playing time each player receives and the balance of strength between teams before establishing these quota guidelines each year. ROSTERS: Team rosters will be filled by drafting players from a pool of girls created at the time of registration and before the draft, with the exception of T-Ball and Midget Divisions. Any vacancies on a team roster will be filled by the girls on the waiting list, in accordance with the bylaws. T-Ball and Midget Division rosters are created by the Player Agent and the respective Division Director. Managers and Coaches: All potential managers and coaches must apply. Managers and coaches must be approved by the board prior to taking the field. Votes for Managers and coaches can be done by secret ballot if desired. FUNDRAISING: Will be determined annually by the RPGSA Board. PRESENCE OF ADULT WOMAN: It is strongly suggested that an adult woman be present at all team activities. V. Drafting and Player Assignments DRAFTING DRAFTING AS TO MINORS AND ROOKIES ONLY: At any given time during the draft, all teams must remain in a 60%-40% balance. If not starting at a 60%-40% balance, players must be drafted from the age group necessary to obtain the 60%-40% split. During the draft process, if a team needs to draft a player of a certain age and none are

4 available, it must choose from the hat for the age necessary. There will be separate hats for each age group. MANAGERS: The daughters of voted managers will automatically be a member of that team, if age appropriate, unless otherwise requested. They will be counted as the team s second (2nd)round pick if they are a new member of the team. No new manager s selections will be allowed if the selection from the previous year remains on the team. COACHES: Coach s daughters do not avoid the draft process. They must be drafted by the second round unless the manager s daughter has filled that draft spot, and then the coach s daughter will fill the third (3rd)round draft position. No new coach s selections will be allowed if the selection from the previous year remains on the team. If a manager wishes to have an assistant coach whose daughter will be a coach s pick, the request must be made 24 hours prior to the start of player assessments. If an assistant coach and manager do not request to coach together prior to the first scheduled player assessments, then the coach s daughter will enter the draft and be subject to selection by any team under normal draft procedures of any non-coach or managers daughter. SISTERS: Sisters (blood or through marriage) are automatically on the same team provided they age qualify. The sister will be the final draft pick. Any other relationship does not automatically qualify for the team membership. When sisters do not want to be on the same team, it must be made known to the league by the parents and the Player Agent two (2) weeks prior to the draft. PARENT BECOMES MANAGER OR COACH: When players move from one team to another within the same age group, because the parent becomes a manager or coach, the team the player moves to must forfeit their first round draft pick position to the team the player left. This does not apply to an expansion team. PITCHERS: A team that has a pitcher cannot draft a pitcher in the first round unless the Vice President recognizes that all other teams have a qualified pitcher. A qualified pitcher comes from a list that the Vice President complies from the end of the previous season. RANDOM DRAW OF PLAYERS WHO DO NOT ATTEND SKILLS ASSESSMENT: Random draw will now be referred to as a hat pick. These will be all players that are new to a division and did not attend skills assessment or have returned to the same division but have requested to play on a new team. They may not be chosen by the hat by the team they have requested to leave.

5 DRAFTING BY AN EXPANSION TEAM: The Manager of an expansion team will draft prior to the regular draft beginning. They will draft either, a) until they have the same number of players as the team with the fewest returning players, or, b) a maximum of two (2) players, whichever is less. They will then draft in the first position of the regular draft order. After the first round, 60%-40% split applies same as other teams.

6 DRAFTING ORDER: The drafting order is determined by drawing number from a hat. The order of the hat draw is in reverse order of the final regular season standing with any expansion team drawing first. After the order has been determined the draft will go as follows: Example of Drafting order with 6 teams in division Order Round 1 Round 2 Round 3 Round 4 Round 5 Pick 1 Team 1 Team 6 Team 1 Team 6 Team 1 Pick 2 Team 2 Team 5 Team 2 Team 5 Team 2 Pick 3 Team 3 Team 4 Team 3 Team 4 Team 3 Pick 4 Team 4 Team 3 Team 4 Team 3 Team 4 Pick 5 Team 5 Team 2 Team 5 Team 2 Team 5 Pick 6 Team 6 Team 1 Team 6 Team 1 Team 6 PLAYER MOVEMENT: Any player not wanting to return to the current team automatically becomes a hat pick. Players may participate in skills assessment but cannot be drafted other than as a hat pick. TRADES: Maximum of 2 trades per team. Any player movement constitutes a trade regardless of who initiates the trade. 60%-40% split must remain after trades. ONCE DRAFT NIGHT IS COMPLETE: No movement after draft night without majority decision by the Board. WAITING LIST: Those who sign up after registration dates will be put on the waiting list. TRY-OUTS TO MOVE UP TO NEXT DIVISION ON A LIMITED BASIS: Players who demonstrate a superior level of proficiency in their existing age division may be allowed to play in the next division. The parent must submit a request to the Player Agent for the player to be eligible. The recommendation and/or request must be submitted no later than two weeks prior to skills assessment. The Executive Board has final authority to approve or disapprove any request. Once a player is approved to move up to the next division, the player must finish the season in that division. DRAFT NIGHT ATTENDANCE: The draft will be attended only by the president, vice president, secretary, player agent, division directors (for their respective divisions), team managers and pre-approved coaches. Stand-ins will be available for any coaches not

7 attending. A pre-approved board member will fill-in if the president or vice president cannot attend.
