He covered the major areas of his report and discussed the direction that the organization is heading. The Dr. Roth discussed the possibility of USYS and USSF increasing their fees. This increase will not have an affect on our players fees because when we did our last increase there was enough to cover the predicted increase. He also touched on the situation developing between USYS and the Federation (USSF). This situation might lead to a grievance being filed with U S Olympic Committee (USOC). If this fails there will most likely be litigation. He also discussed some of the happening at the Regional level including the formation of the Directors Cup and Region III Premier League.
