Ruling From the Deputy Commissioner 10/22/09

Hello to all. This is a letter from the desk of the Deputy Commissioner of Delaware Valley Pop Warnter Football. Unforunately, this season has been a very diffcult one with plenty of trials and tribulations. A few of our organizations have violated a number of different rules. All said to be in error. Ignorance isn't a defense and neither is misguided or misinformed information. I am left to make a very difficult decision. In all my years in dealing with youth, I have never came across a situation quite like this where a major decision will impact the playing lives of so many children. Please realize my decision is based soley on the rules as I will not benefit in any way and neither will my organization. I have always and will always be as fair as I can. In order for us to grow and become a complete and competive league on and off the field ALL RULES MUST BE STRICTLY ADHERED TO!

After investigations done by numerous individuals (none of which is me) the organizations weight classes are ineligible for the 2009 Pop Warner playoffs and regional play.

1. The Trojans 90's through 160's are ineligible for adding players to each roster after the league mandated date of 9-15 yearly. The player added on the 75's is not allowed to play but the 75's can participate because there really isn't a champion at the tiny mite class.

2. The Dynasty 135's & 160's are ineligible due to having 3 players 2 on there 160's and one on te 135's that are full participants on the South West Jaguars Middle School team which is a team made up of Penrose Elementary and Pepper Middle School.

3. The Cougars 105's are ineligible due to adding one player on the team after the league mandated cut off date.

4. The Jaguars are ineligible due to the neglegency of roster approval and adding players after 9-15.

5. The Saints 90's, 105's and 135's are ineligible due to the lack of roster approval also.

These infractions are verified and true. The Board has proof of each infraction. These decisions are not personally motivated it is the nature of the league. Please govern yourselves accordingly as a playoff schedule will be forwarded to Crump and the league official by 7pm today
