1. Each team was given a supply of gamesheets to cover their game schedule at the beginning of the season at the Ringette Townhall. If you run out because you have used some of those gamesheets for exhibition games, you are required to purchase additional gamesheets from the MRA office to get you through to the end of the season.

2. Gamesheets ARE NOT TO BE DELIVERED to the MRA office. Gamesheets are to be delivered by mail to your loop convenor. We have not been doing the best job of getting Loop Convenor information to teams, but we are working on it. Loop convenors from the first half are still listed in a news item accessible from our home page, and you may contact them by email for their addresses. If you are still having difficulty, please contact our Past-President under Contact Us.

3. The Open 3 Loop will be divided into two loops for City Playoffs. Please ensure that your scores are kept up to date to help us in deciding where to split the loop.

At the December 1, 2008 meeting of the Winnipeg Ringette League, a temporary amendment to our Temporary Player rule was presented and accepted. Effective immediately, Open 1 teams may no longer laterally transfer players to fill temporary player positions. You must instead draw from a lower loop such as Open 2, Belle A, etc. Having been voted on in a WRL council meeting, this ruling is temporary, but in effect for the duration of this season. The rule must be ratified at the AGM on April 25, 2009 in order to carry forward into the next season.

I am finalizing the change of servers today. There should be minimal if any disruption to the access of our website. However, there may be disruption in the sending of emails to any @winnipegringette.com email address such as webmaster or senior_official. Please be patient, everything should be back to normal (or above normal) by tomorrow.

Thanks,
Paul

As per Pages 21 and 22 in the rule book:

"The only rescheduling of games shall be done by the scheduler of the WRL solely at the discretion of the WRL. Rescheduling of games will only be considered, if the original game was not played because of unsafe weather or roads, or if ice was not available. " If we deal with each case independent of each other, and take into consideration the amount of notice that was given by the team refusing to travel, a decision will be made as to no points awarded or if the opposition is awarded the points for the game. In any case any team not in attendance for a game because of the tournament and no opt out request will forfeit 2 points to the opposition. As a side note page 21 also states that teams that are a no show can be suspended and will be fined $45.00.


If a team is intending to not play a game, they assume all of the responsibility for the game. If it is a home game they need to:

1. Notify their Loop Convenor
2. Notify their opposition of their intention
3. Cancel the ice
4. Cancel the refs and minor officials

If it is an away game they need to:

1. Notify their Loop Convenor
2. Notify their opposition of their intention
3. Make certain that the opposition coach cancels the refs and minor officials
4. Make certain that the opposition coach knows that he can use the ice for a practise
