New Business

·         Randy reported on the MTOA Blog.  Also, he will send out notices and updated information as needed.

·         Increase of MTOA pay rates were discussed.  Due to economy and a drop in tournament entries, discussion was tabled.

·         Lunch being included at tournaments was discussed.  There were varied opinions.  It was concluded that the Referee will negotiate this issue with the Tournament Director and pass on to hired officials.

·         New MTOA members need to be informed of MTOA payment protocols and other information.   This will be the Referee’s responsibility to inform hired officials of information that is pertinent to each individual tournament.  Randall will send current payment protocol to area Referee’s.  It was decided that this information should not be published to everyone.
