OLD BUSINESS:
     Andy made a motion that Standing Rule #9 (Game Director Steps for Operating Computer) be
     changed to read “To shut down the slave computer, press ESC until the Windows screen appears,
     click START, then Shut down.  The computer will automatically shut down.  Turn off the printer.
     The power strip may be left on”.    He stated this change is necessitated by the change in
     computers due to the donation by the Cosby family.  Motion was seconded by Marilyn and passed
     unanimously.

     Andy moved that Standing Rule #2 (Game Directors) be changed to read: “The Game Director will
     select the game movement best suited for the number of players registering.  If the number of tables
     in a stratified event warrants establishing multiple sections and an overall award is to be given, the
     boards should be duplicated.  Motion was seconded by Teri and unanimously approved by the
     Board.

     A motion was made by Andy to change Standing Rule #9 (Game Directors) to read:  “Disputes
     Regarding scoring are to be coordinated with both pairs involved prior to any scoring changes.  If
     a scoring error is found after the scores have been posted, the Game Director should change the
     score or notify the Club Manager.  Corrections are permitted for a seven-day period except during
     STAC tournaments in which case changes must be made prior to the game results being submitted
     to the STAC Tournament Director.  All Game Directors must keep the game computer score cards
     for one week.  The Director of the game at which the disputed score occurred must approve any
     score change”.   Dick seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.

     Richard announced that he had applied for STAC tournaments for June 22-29, 2005 and December
     12-18, 2005.  Board unanimously approved having STAC tournaments on both dates.

NEW BUSINESS:

     Richard asked Andy to get list of special games.

     Andy submitted proposal for knock-out games to be held in November.  He asked Board to study
     proposal before the next meeting.

     Teri informed the Board that Unit 161 plans to have Unit games.  These are offered for the remainder
     of the year and Teri feels we should participate.  Decision will be made next month.
