extreme actions as “assault” and penalizes with a five (5) game suspension.
Presidio will review current rules with respect to the situation of a parent refereeing a
game in which the referee has a child participating.
Doug noted the need for the membership to review and approve or disapprove the
clubs/leagues experiencing management or business conduct problems such as bad
financial standing, coach and/or parent conduct matters and teams with excessive points
resulting from Red and Yellow cards.

An inquiry was made as to the results of the recent PQT. Game results were provided to
the membership. A matter was raised as to the GU-14 PQT eligibility of one team. After

criteria and the Premier criteria needs a review and reconsideration to avoid repeating this
same conflict in 2010.
