All, I just wanted to say that we got the reports from Walla Walla and Spokane and EVERYONE loved Dennis Williams coming over and doing Umpire Clinics this past weekend. He did two, one in Walla Walla and one in Spokane at Liberty Lake. What I saw was a dedicated Little Leaguer, A Professional Umpire, and a great Instructor. Everyone was very appreciative of Dennis and his work. I think he is a great asset to Little League in Washington State. Thank You Dennis - Very Much! Regards JP DA WA5/13

Tournament Dates
by Glen Dickason 17 Feb '22

17 Feb '22

You all have probably received the email from West Region about tournament dates. I have plugged this into our grid. The only big change was in junior softball, which dropped back a week (and leaves just two days between tournaments). Let me know if there are any errors in this.

Minutes and Directory
by Glen Dickason 27 Jan '22

27 Jan '22

I’ve attached the minutes of the last meeting. To avoid confusion, I have adjusted the hosts and dates per later developments. For the directory, if I have received updates from you – your district is written in green lettering. Please review to be sure I got it right. If the lettering is black, I haven’t heard from you or I can’t find the information you gave me.

List bounces and moderation for WA-DAs List
by jarel＠jpiworldwide.com 24 Jan '22

24 Jan '22

All, Keep in mind the list server also has SPAM filtering on it. If you put more than 10 recipients on an email AND send it to the Wadas MAILING LIST the list will HOLD the message until someone approves. It also sees emails with more than 10 recipients as also SPAM. SO either send the message to the WADAS list as a recipient all by itself, OR send it to the group with everyone's emails in the header. BUT MY SPAM filter and many others will not allow messages with 20+ email recipients pass as it is considered SPAM. I don't see the messages when there are more than 10 recipients in the email, and neither do a couple others. Some messages to the group have been delayed because someone sends the message to the whole group AND also includes the mailing list in the recipient header. When this happens the message is held until someone approves it (usually me). I caught this when Glen was trying to send messages the other day and was sending it to both places at the same time. SPAM rules are getting tighter and tighter with more systems rejecting emails with big headers (lots of recipients), or a domain that is known for spamming, or addresses that have been compromised by virus or malware. IF you ARE NOT receiving messages from the WADAS list, check your spam filtering settings. Some SPAM filters don't like email lists either. GMAIL likes to have the domain pre-approved, so you can go to your mail settings in GMAIL and clear rodeonetworks.com as a senders domain in your email junk settings - this is an individual setting. one set by each person. but the setting is there to protect the recipient from spammers.

As we thought, JP had already said he would like another district to take junior softball. Do I have any volunteers?

State Tournament Dates - Follow-up to Last Week's State DA Discussion.
by scottbrohaugh＠frontier.com 18 Nov '21

18 Nov '21

Hello Dennis and State DAs, I was on vacation last week and unable to attend last Wednesday's DA meeting, but was told that we spent some amount of time discussing state tournament dates. Going back to our September meeting, I recall you mentioning that you liked the state tournaments for the younger players starting later in the month of July, as it allowed the tournaments to be better spread out, allowing more umpires to attend more games. At our District 8 staff meeting last night, we discussed earlier vs later, with the overwhelming majority of league presidents preferring that our state tournaments for younger players start later in the month of July, similar to what we did last season. I realize that dates for the regional tournaments have not yet been established, but given this input from my league presidents, would recommend that we start our 8/9/10 and 9/10/11 baseball and softball state tournaments no sooner than Saturday, July 16th. I'd also recommend that similar to last season we be wrapped up by the end of July. Somewhat roughing out the younger divisions, I can see: Little League Softball - Start July 9th Little League Baseball - Start July 16th 8/9/10 Softball - Start July 16th 8/9/10 Baseball - Start July 23rd 9/10/11 Baseball - Start July 23rd 9/10/11 Softball - Start July 23rd I appreciate any thoughts that you or our other DAs might have. Thanks, Scott Brohaugh WA District 8 Administrator (206) 790-2688 scottbrohaugh(a)frontier.com

Re: [Wadas] Meeting Notice, Materials and List Verification

Thanks. Three different people put these lists together and there are a lot of gaps. I’m trying to get one list right and then submit it to the other two lists to fix since different people use different lists at different times. From: Wadas <wadas-bounces(a)lists.rodeonetworks.com> on behalf of Tonya Henry <tonyah(a)thetasoft.com> Reply-To: Washington DAs Discussion Forum <wadas(a)lists.rodeonetworks.com> Date: Wednesday, November 10, 2021 at 5:52 PM To: Washington DAs Discussion Forum <wadas(a)lists.rodeonetworks.com> Subject: Re: [Wadas] Meeting Notice, Materials and List Verification This is the only email I got. From: Wadas <wadas-bounces(a)lists.rodeonetworks.com> On Behalf Of Glen Dickason Sent: Tuesday, November 9, 2021 6:47 PM To: wadas(a)lists.rodeonetworks.com Subject: [Wadas] Meeting Notice, Materials and List Verification We have several lists that have been made to send information to D.A.s. I don’t know if any of them are complete. To try to unsnarl this, I am sending this notice to everyone on all the lists. Ideally some of you will get three notices and some six. I am naming each of them so we can determine who is on the lists. My goal is to get everyone on the State list and State D.A. list J.P. has set up for us. J.P. says that in order to get his list if you are on gmail, you need to go into Google /Gmail and let it know the address is OK… if they are rejecting it before you get it, then you won’t see it in your spam folder. I have planned the meeting for Nov. 10 at 6:30. If due to me not verifying the emails, this won’t work, we can move the meeting to next week. The meeting information is attached as “Use Google Meet …” Also attached are the tournament checklist (revised with advice from my presidents since the first one I sent out that many of you may not have seen yet); meeting agenda; last meeting minutes, and Association organizational document with suggested changes (these are detailed at the very end of the document). For D.A.s, let me know if you don’t get one or more of the six emails you should get. I don’t need to know if you got them. Only if you don’t. Tell me which ones you got and I can figure out which one or ones you are not on properly. For none D.A.s, let me know if you don’t get all three. I don’t need to know if you got them. Only if you don’t. Tell me which ones you got and I can figure out which one or ones you are not on properly. THIS LIST IS “WADAS AT LISTS” _______________________________________________ Wadas mailing list Wadas(a)lists.rodeonetworks.com http://lists.rodeonetworks.com/mailman/listinfo/wadas
