Sweepstakes proposed two rule changes at yesterday’s meeting, one of which is pretty interesting.
A modification to rule 3.4.1 “Fines” would add this:
Any fines imposed due to a failure to complete assigned chores will double on each consecutive day of Freeroll Practice that they are not completed. On any weekend that chores are completed, the dollar amount for any additional fines will be reset to their original value.
A modification to rule 3.3.3 “Initial Organizational Meeting” would now read like this:
One week after the sweepstakes races conclude, the departing Sweepstakes Committee is required to hold Chairmenʼs meetings. The purpose of these meetings is to elect a Sweepstakes Chairman, an Assistant Sweepstakes Chairman, and a Safety Chairman for the next school year. Should a new Committee fail to be elected, an organizational meeting of the Sweepstakes Committee shall be held before September 15th each school year.
The first one is just trying to coerce those slacking teams to pull their weight and keep things running smoothly. If it works, great.
The second one is interesting. The committees have been coming together more slowly in recent years as nominations to the positions have been more scarce. This puts the committee in a tough situation of trying to get rolls started on very short notice.
I wasn’t at the meeting, so I don’t know what was said already, but perhaps someone that was there will fill everyone else in?
