A couple of updates as we wrap up
the 2022 season and move towards the 2023 season.
The AGM, which wraps up the 2022
season will be held on January 25 2023 at 7pm at The Beer Institute. 1346 Water
Street Kelowna BC. Please plan to attend or send a team representative.
At the AGM there are Board positions available for election. The
positions for election are listed below. Anybody that would like to run
for a non executive position is encourage to put their name in the hat at the

It is important that each team in

us to have a quorum in order to conduct our required business so please have a
team member attend.
The Board will work really hard to
move the league back to our pre-COVID divisional alignments - meaning
Division 1,2,3A,3B, over 35 and over 45 for the 2023 season. We
will publish a rough divisional layout in late January immediately after the
AGM.
Registration for the 2023 season is
now open. You can email your application and pay your deposit
electronically to our league administrator at kmsladmin@hotmail.com. The registration
form is at www.kmsl.ca. under media/misc then documents.
A reminder to ALL players,
managers and officials of the KMSL: discrimination of any kind on account
of race, skin colour, ethnic, national or social origin, religion, or sexual
orientation is strictly prohibited and punishable by lengthy suspension or
expulsion from the league. The board members and staff of the KMSL strive
to create and operate a safe and inclusive league, free of the issues
above. Discrimination has no place in our league and will not be
tolerated.
The "falsification of player registration" (ie. false /
incorrect names, birthdate, multiple registrations) is one of the most serious
issues all leagues, including the KMSL, must face. Players registered
under false names or birthdates jeopardize the validity of the league's
liability insurance. Should there be an injury and claim involving a
falsely registered player, the league can be found negligent and responsible,
by allowing a falsely registered player to participate.
The BCSA, who's rules & guidelines the KMSL follow, has a
minimum suspension recommendation of 6 months for the player involved in
falsification of registration, and a 12-month suspension for the manager of the
team who the player is falsely registered to. All games the falsely
registered player participates in are also forfeited and any applicable forfeit
fines are also assessed to the team's performance bond.
It is the player and team manager's responsibility to
ensure that all player registrations are accurate and correct. All KMSL
rules around player registration, eligibility and playing in multiple divisions
are posted on the website in the Media / Misc. section under
"Documents", or by using this link: https://kmsl.ca/upload/doc/KMSLLeagueRules.pdf
