The Principals discussed the policy of how many trophies are given at
the tournaments. This year only the
first place plaque was given at all three tournaments in order to save money. The
savings is $75 per tournament. The Principals all agreed to continue to just
give the first place trophy. It was
discussed that very few schools place other trophies in their trophy cases.
9.
The Principals discussed the cost saving methods from the Athletic
Director report concerning admission prices in the tournaments. The Athletic Director recommended going to $5
(adults) and $3 (students) for all 2 or 3 game nights. The admission would stay $4 and $3 for single
game nights. This will be discussed at
the next meeting.
10. The Athletic Director suggested
asking the currently hired officials for future girl’s tournaments if they
would be willing to do two games for $100 each ($300 per night, instead of
$360) to save money. The girl’s coaches
and the officials will be surveyed to see what their feelings are. Currently all officials are hired for next
year at $60 per game and this would require the officials to allow modification
or cancel some contracts.

questions for the Scholastic Bowl Tournament and not for regular season
matches.
