The 2019 AGM was held Saturday January 26 from 11:30 to 2:00 at Alter High School in the cafeteria following the Grade 8 recertification clinic. Food and drinks were provided. Door Prizes were distributed to many lucky winners.

Elections were held with the following positions being filled by Doug Niekamp as Vice-President, Steve Wetzel as Treasurer, Gerald Green and Allen Revels as Trustees.

THANKS to outgoing board members Jamie Rowe and Maggie Short for their many years serving DASOA as board members.

SEE YOU AT NEXT YEAR'S AGM!
The spring schedule is being worked on. Look for announcement when it is posted.

Each referee will get 20 tokens each night to spend on games (token count is in upper right hand corner while looking at open games). 

This allows everyone a chance to get into the system and get games before they are all gone.  Any questions please feel free to reach out to Shawna Spada by phone 937-206-7017.  Please leave a message if you get voicemail as she may be helping another ref and will call you back.

Weather Delays: What You Need to Know

NOTIFICATION THROUGH GAME SCHEDULING SYSTEM
If your complex is closed, the league will notify us and we will then close the field for the game in the game scheduling system and the refs on the game will get an email notification. 

NOTIFICATION THROUGH TEXT MESSAGING
We also use a text message system from RainedOut that will send a text message if you are signed up to receive them.  You would need text the word DASOA to the number 84483 and then you will start receiving the text messages. 

LOOK & LISTEN
If your game has not been postponed/cancelled/or field closed then you need to report to your game 30 minutes prior to start time.  You need to be listening for thunder and scanning for lightening.  If either is seen or heard you must start the 30 minute delay and restart that 30 minutes every time you see lightening or hear thunder.  It is up to the referee to call the game on site.  Please look at your rules variation spreadsheet for your games league to follow the correct procedure for inclement weather. ​
