Proposal-Eric Cummings-Riverside (for Jerry Kimbrell-Dorman) We propose the following recommendation for the 2014-16 Cross Country 4A Qualifier Meets. Takes into account Region VI Travel.
Upper state host Reg I, II and III for a total of 23 = 9 qualify Middle state: Reg IV,V and S Florence, W Florence & Sumter for a total of 15 = 6 qualify
Lower: Reg VII and VIII with Carolina Forest, Conway & Socastee for a total of 14 = 5 qualify

Proposal-Ed Boehmke-Eastside
Propose that 3A mirrors the 4A Upper/Mid/Lower State qualifier format using the below method for CC in 2014-2016. Straight Region splits
Upper-State: Regions I, II, and III giving them 23 teams. (9 qualify) .
Mid-State: Regions IV and V giving them 12 teams (5 qualify) .
Lower-State: Regions VI,VII and VIII giving them 17 teams (6 qualify).

Proposal-Ed Boehmke-Eastside
Propose to set a time limit in the CC State championships to earn an official time and team scoring place. Girls=30:00 and boys=25:00.

Proposal-Ed Boehmke-Eastside
Propose that the SCTCCCA allows the ‘Bob Jenkins TF Classic’ to be awarded/given to a school for a one day meet with all expenses/profit/responsibilities be placed on the host school. The SCTCCCA retains the right to award the meet each year and the name and format remains part of the SCTCCCA. The SCTCCCA will split t-shirt sales (50/50 with host school) and receive any money from any shoe vendor that the SCTCCCA brings in.

Proposal- Ed Boehmke-Eastside
Propose to issue a set amount of money to the host of the State Championship in TF, to run off the meet at their discretion. Financial documentation is required to the SCHSL and the SCTCCCA the day of the meet to receive the money (breakdown of expenses-$8000). This would take the SCTCCCA hands out of the running of the meet and place on host school. Officers would still be required to assist the meet director with various tasks. The SCTCCCA would still provide the excess awards and All-State Certificates.

Proposal-Eric Cummings-Riverside
Proposal to purchase 2 credit card readers for the use of the SCTCCCA for entries and parking. May be used by other meets with a 6% fee to the SCTCCCA.

Proposal-Eric Cummings-Riverside
Propose we implement an entry fee for both the Cross Country and Track & Field Championship series. All entries go through the SCTCCCA with 50% going to Classification Qualifiers (25% each to an Upper/Lower format-except 2A), 40% used to cover expense of running off the State Championships (Host school and SCTCCCA). 10% used for meet directors and excess awards.
