Constitution
Addition
Article VII-
Officers
Section 7
Basketball
Assignor/Booking
Because the
elected Basketball Assignor is paid by the CFOA,
the elected Basketball Assignor and any CFOA
official that assists in the assignment of games
shall be restricted in the following manner:
Any or all of the
Assignors, including the elected Assignor, shall
be restricted to officiating no more than
1.
Two
(2) varsity games from Sunday to the following
Saturday, from the beginning of the regular season
to the end of the regular season.
2.
The
Assignors, including the elected Assignor, shall
not officiate the same School more than two (2)
times, whether home or away, from the beginning of
the regular season until the end of the regular
season.
3.
These restrictions do not include non-varsity
games.
4.
This restriction does not include “Emergency”
situations requiring the Assignors, including the
elected Assignor, to participate to avoid
detriment to a SCHEDULED commitment of
officials. If there is an “Emergency”, the
elected Assignor shall immediately, by phone or
email, notify the President of the CFOA,
Vice-President for Basketball AND the
Treasurer or Secretary of the CFOA of the nature
of the emergency and why it was necessary to
violate this by-law. If by participating in the
game, due to emergency, the rule is not violated,
then this notice is not necessary, but the
Assignor, including the elected Assignor, shall
reassign himself in future games to avoid breaking
the restriction because he or she acted on an
emergency basis. “Immediately” means PRIOR
to accepting the assignment of the game for his or
herself.
5.
The
definition of “Assignor” shall include direct
relatives of the Assignor, including but not
limited to Husbands, Wives, and Children of the
Assignor, including the elected Assignor. All
shall be subject to the above restrictions, unless
such a restriction upon a “Relative” is deemed to
be unnecessary by a majority vote of the full
Board at any regular meeting when good cause is
shown by the affected party.
6.
If
the Board finds that the Assignor, including the
elected Assignor, violates these restrictions, in
any way, including violations of the “Emergency”
provisions of this agreement (including the
notification provisions of the emergency
provision), the assignment restrictions, or any
other violation of these provisions, the Assignor
AND the elected Assignor, if different,
SHALL be sanctioned by the Board of the CFOA
in any manner the CFOA Board, at its discretion,
deems necessary. Sanctions may include, but are
not limited to reprimand (public or private),
fines, and/or removal from office or future game
assignments. It is a violation, and the elected
Assignor shall be ultimately responsible and may
be sanctioned for any of his designees that
violate this rule, including, but not limited to
volunteers, office staff or other compensated CFOA
officials.
A
CFOA official that is not otherwise compensated by
the CFOA to help with the duties of basketball
Assignors is not subject to these rules of
restrictions. However, relatives of anyone
defined as an Assignor ARE subject to these
provisions, unless relieved of these restrictions
by the CFOA Board as provided for in this by-law.
7.
The
beginning and end of the regular season is defined
by each particular School’s schedule. A game that
is not part of the regular schedule but occurs
between the dates that begin and end the School’s
regular schedule is considered to be part of that
School’s regular schedule for purposes of this
restriction.
8.
This by-law will commence immediately upon its
approval. Specifically, it will apply immediately
for the 2008-2009 basketball season and
thereafter, unless modified.
Constitutional
Amendment
Article VII
Section 4
Should be
rewritten to read:
“All
officers except President and Commissioner” shall
be elected by majority vote of the members present
at the Annual meeting, except the area
Directors shall be elected by the members, present
and voting from within their respective areas.
The President and
Commissioner shall be elected in the same manner
as the Secretary and Treasurer at an appropriate
and timely annual meeting, except they shall be
limited to one three (3) year term at a time and
shall not be eligible for reelection or
appointment to President or Commissioner for three
(3) years. The President or Commissioner may
choose to seek another office and neither is
excluded from doing so or from being appointed to
a different office as authorized by the
Constitution and By-Laws.
The amendment, if
enacted will be deemed to have retroactive
application, so the Commencement of the first
three (3) year term for both Commissioner and
President commenced with the 2007 elections and
their terms will expire in 2010.
The President
will, after his term automatically assume the
Board position of Immediate Past President,
without election by the members, unless he/she is
elected to another office. In such cases, the
position of immediate past President will remain
vacant until filled by the next eligible past
President.

be President. Any one fulfilling an unexpired
term for President may run for re-election for
President, if the next election is one (1) year
away or less otherwise he/she is subject to the
term limits as described in the Constitution and
By-Laws and may serve an elected full three (3)
year term. If the unexpired term is greater than

Add
This
Constitution must and shall be read in conjunction
with the by-laws. Wherever possible it is the
duty of the Board to read the Constitution and the
by-laws together, presuming one ALWAYS
agrees with the other and that they do not
contradict one another. If the Board by majority
vote certifies a conflict, it has the immediate
ability to choose an interpretation consistent
with the other provisions of the Constitution or
by-laws and with other Board policy. However, it
will be the responsibility (upon Board
Certification of Conflict) of the Secretary to
draft or cause to be drafted all necessary
amendments to the Constitution or By-Laws such
changes shall be presented at the next annual
meeting for approval of the Board’s changes.
This provision does not preclude any other member
of the CFOA, in otherwise good standing from
submitting other versions of any amendment sent to
the members by the Secretary.
Any
amendment will be subject to passage in accordance
with the amendment provisions of the Constitution
and by-laws of the CFOA. If no version passes,
then the CFOA Board shall administer policy
consistent with their own policies and this
Constitution and by-laws.
