1. Club Status 
– Paypal/Database issue: Webmaster Jose is reporting that the logic is not visible in the pages he has looked at. The Portuguese developers we utilized last year were contacted. Jose suggested to talk to the original developers of the pages and he believes if the root cause is not found, that a re-programming from scratch seems to be the best option. In the meantime Torsten’s private email account was put on the spammer list of British Telecom.

2. League Director Report 
-Soldierant is helping with OBBLM issues. Only one user from Germany had repeating problems with OBBLM.

3. Membership Director Report 
– Trophies: Massimo has 60 old style trophies, Torsten has about 20 and has distributed 30 at Eurobowl. Membership will be asked to submit design ideas for the new trophy, Deadline for submission is End of 2018. If we run out of trophies, old style trophies can be re-ordered.

4. Tournament Director Report 
– 77 tourneys were sanctioned in October. First tourney sanctioned in Mexico.
– NTC/RTC changes: Ulvardar will be new RTC in Spain, Thot will replace Galanthil in France
– Eurobowl in Wales was third largest BB event ever, Poland will host Eurobowl in 2020, Malta in 2021.
– Blocksfam collection went very well. The Best Painted winner donated his team to be auctioned for Blocksfam. Success is so big, that there might arise a need for a dedicated coordinator for Blocksfam.
– Hawca stepped down as NAFC organizers, the committee believes he did a fantastic job during the last years, Jimjimany will take over for 2019.
– Glicko ranking showed some re-appearing bugs, but will be worked on by Webmaster once the sign-up bug is fixed (highest priority)
– Oventa wrote a How-To Document to be published with the sanctioning documents
– Torsten is stepping down as Tournament Series Organizer due to work-overload. Caio was suggested to be a good replacement and would also honor his work for the South American community.
– The Annual Review was published and it was well received in all regions (based on 3 days of feedback). People pointed out a typo in the Lewdgrip stats, which will be fixed.
