with the document, mainly in regard to the time frame suggested for tournament
results.

3 Foot Crash Zone Discussion
·
A 6 foot crash zone has been suggested by some USLRA
members. Most are not in agreement with
this, but wording could be changed to suit individual tournament directors’
preferences for their specific venue.
·
Changes could be made to include “a minimum of 3
feet” or “height of the tallest roller”, and could combine with “at the
tournament director’s discretion”.
·
Board will continue to discuss and explore options.
9.)
Tournament Director’s Meeting
·
The
board would like to meet with Tournament Directors from all Tournaments, to
gather their thoughts and suggestions as to how we can better serve their needs
and support their individual tournaments.

A
gathering of all directors has been suggested, but since this would be
geographically difficult, an effort to gather small groups will be made in the
Spring of 2015.
