Thanks for returning (in one year)

Apologies for some confusion around table assignments
Thanks to Cleveland and Houston for working with us to resolve situation.

Federation is no longer in a growth mode
In the last year, we have lost a few member clubs.
As technology changes, the nature of NAFCSC will change.
We started the Federation to see matches, but the Federation is more than that now.

Vice-President's Report:

Ongoing changes with Satellite Broadcast/ Internet TV
Celtic TV representatives (Tony Hamilton & John Cole) are aware of issues regarding the Federation.
We are continue to work with Celtic regarding local clubs.

Internet Champions Legaue rights are not controlled by Celtic

Commentators – there will be a tine for action – we’ll provide an email address to discuss issues.

Money will not go up for clubs; in to accomplish this we are allowing Fox Sports Canada – Fox Sports Channel to show the matches
(72 hour delay – but we are flexible if the situation warrants it).

Setanta TV (on Direct TV) has started showing the matches on delay;
there are questions about whether they are violating the 72 hour rule.

Keep Peter and Tam informed about Satellite issues (email – let them know as soon as possible)

Keep satellite ‘re-sighted’ especially after winter (freeze thaw cycle effects performance).
