October Pool Update
Hello!
The Aactive office has been an extremely busy place since the end of August. Team Registrations are up in the Winnipeg and Selkirk Leagues and the rest of the leagues are mostly the same as last year. In total we have 320 teams playing thru out Manitoba.
Aactive charges a Sanction fees (membership fee) to play in the pool league. The cost of sanction fees is, $30 for Cash Plus Leagues and lower and $50 for Vegas Leagues and higher in Winnipeg. All of the Rural Leagues have a Sanction Fee of $30. All leagues are sanctioned with the VNEA. In Winnipeg, the Vegas, Super Vegas and Premier Leagues are BCA sanctioned as well. Players can’t view their individual stats until their sanction fees are paid. The deadline to pay your sanction fees is November 1st, 2024. The cost will increase by $10 on sanction fees if not paid by November 1st and those players will be unable to play in the WCVNEA Championships.
I would like to reiterate, I am not on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. I am available on League nights until 8 pm on my cell phone. After 8 pm, you are on your own. Do your best to figure things out and we can deal with the problem the next day.
SPARES
A spare is defined as a player that isn’t a member of your roster that you need for that night to field a full team. Teams can use a spare on League night. There are a few rules involved:
- There must be a name entered on Compusport. You can’t leave the spot blank.
- You need to add the player to your team. If the player exists in the system, you can search for him and add him yourself. If you search for them and they don’t exist, you need to contact me to create the player and add them to your team.
- All spares are a 0 handicap the first time they play on your team. If they are a member of another team that plays in the same division and night and have a handicap, they are still a 0 handicap. If you use the same spare more than once, they don’t play on another team in your division, you can use their handicap.
- DO NOT ADD A SPARE TO YOUR TEAM USING “AACTIVE SPARE or “ONE TIME SPARE”. If you fail to enter a player’s name on Compusport, I delete any scores the spare earned and change his scores to 0.
League matches in all leagues start at 7:00 pm. If your team has a problem getting all your players there by 7:00 pm, please contact your opponent. Contact lists for every division were emailed out a few weeks ago. If you didn’t receive it, please contact me.
For those that don’t know, Aactive offers a Junior League in Winnipeg on Saturday mornings, starting at 11:00 am at Crazy 8’s. The cost is $10.00/week. I was in attendance on Saturday, October 12th. There were 22 kids there. The age range was from 7 to 17. There were many happy faces in the group. If you have a child that may be interested, please contact me for more info. Dave Leather is our representative at the Junior League. Dave is volunteering his time for this. He is doing a great job!
That is all for this month. Good luck!
