Maybe just a wording correction needed here?

to vote on BoD issues in case of a tie vote

This kinda implies he only votes if there is a Tie .. which is not the case. D always votes, but the reason the D has a vote is twofold: 1) In the event there is a tie vote, and to vote for the pilots that are not represented by a squad. So the D is the representative of the pilots that claim no squad.

LEAGUE MANAGER: This position is nominated for appointment or application to the USAAC and approved by the BoD. Duties of the league manager are to facilitate and hold league events for the USAAC or International league events as approved by the BoD. This position also includes updating and moderation of the League Event Forums. The league manager may also appoint assistants to help in the duties of that position.

Its probably not needed,, but.. the LM should be involved with other community League Official and work co-operatively with them. The LM is responsible for the rules, final judge, and the posting of scores procedure's etc.

LEAD REFEREE: This position is nominated for appointment and voted and approved by the BoD. Duties of the Lead Referee is to appoint, conduct and instruct referee duties for all USAAC functions as required. The Lead Referee is point of contact for the AARA.

The head of the referee for the AA Community as a whole has this responsibility .. and I don't know if we can mandate anything beyond a 'voice' within that body. The USAAC Lead Ref is only a voice in that ref body of AA. Temper will have to speak up and put input here I think.

When the USAAC was formed, Sal asked for volunteers to fill several positions. I volunteered.

Being Lead Sysop has all the fun filled hours of stress I can handle at this time, so I am un-volunteering. This will give the Director or the BoD plenty of time to find a replacement before the USAAC runs the next league.

edit: just to be clear, I'm resigning as head ref. Lead Sysop will come later.
