Ray Greenberg - NCSL President – Kathleen and Ray meet with Demosphere.  Discussed going to an electronic game card.  Will be doing this – we will do the dual systems for several seasons – referee will go into system and enter game info – card info – jersey # and player. 

The electronic game card will give you the opportunity to verify the score is correct.  When you see errors and report them, it will get that info to R&D quicker and can be corrected.  It allows the referees the ability to rate the teams.  Parents are 1 – 5, player 1-5 and coaches 1-5.  We will be able to tell which teams are doing well.

Player’s names will not appear on the public pages only on the team pages.  Ray will test and send an email when

It is ready.  This will give us opportunity to notice those teams displaying good.
