Who decides what

Four bodies. Listed powers. Nothing outside them.

Between the two rulebooks this association was built from, six governing bodies are named and none is defined. Here there are four, each with an exhaustive list of what it may do — and anything done outside those powers is void.

Board of Directors

Governs · one vote per member program

Sets rules, budget, fees and membership. Two-thirds majority, instructed by each program's own board. May not determine any team's tier or bracket, rule on a participant's eligibility, hear an appeal, or exclude any team from the postseason.

Seats: one director per member programNamed: at the founding meeting

Executive Committee

Administers day-to-day

Four elected officers running administration. Has no power over tier, roster, schedule or bracket. Reports to the Board.

Roles: President · Vice-President · Secretary · TreasurerNamed: at the founding meeting

Appeal Panel

Protests · appeals · ethics · discipline

Three directors drawn by lot from uninvolved programs. Written reasons published within five days. This is the only body that resolves disputes — the Board does not sit as an appeals body.

Selection: random draw per appealReasons: published to records

The formula

Roster classification & bracket

Not a body. A published computation, applied identically to every team, that decides classification and postseason bracket. No vote exists for these questions.

Named seats are populated when the founding board is seated. Six community programs commit as founding directors by October; the Board's first meeting names the executive officers and adopts the rules. Until then, roles above describe the shape, not the incumbents.
