March 15, 2025
D4 2025 Spring League
The D4 Board has decided to continue competitive league team play for Ladies, Men and Co-Ed. These events will be in addition to the current divisional play everyone currently has access to.
The league will run for 8 weeks starting the week of March 30th.
Ladies competitive team league play will be on Mondays 1pm-3pm at Rohan
Mens competitive team league play will be on Tuesdays 11am-1pm at Eisenhower
Co-Ed competitive team league play will be Wednesdays 1pm-3pm at Ezell
CLICK HERE TO REGISTER FOR THE 2025 SPRING LEAGUE
The number of teams/courts will depend on the number of people that sign-up to participate. We will have captains, which will in turn select teams via a draft process.
Signups will run from March 16th through March 22. The draft is scheduled for March 25st. The board encourages all players to signup to play if your schedule permits participation over the 8 week season. If you know in advance that you will miss multiple days of play, we encourage you to signup as a substitute only. You can signup for both Co-Ed and either ladies/mens based on your gender.
Anyone that signs up in advance, may withdraw or change to substitute only ON or BEFORE March 24, which is the day before the draft. Any change of that type MUST be directly made to a D4 Board member. If you do not change status or withdraw, YOU ARE EXPECTED to play if drafted. Failure to play once DRAFTED will result is suspension from playing in future competitive league team season(s). Illness and/or injury is excluded from this penalty. Approximately 70-80% of the players that signup will be drafted, assuming we have the appropriate pool space to accommodate that number. The remaining 20-30% not drafted will be added to the substitute pool if you elect that option. We never seem to have enough available substitutes available, so this is why we do this.
If you signup to volunteer as a Captain or an if needed Captain, you will be notified and EXPECTED to attend the draft on March 25th.
April Election
The April election is coming up for three D4 Board Positions of one year in length, May 1, 2025-April 30, 2026. The positions are for one Lady, one Man and a third position that could be either a Lady or Man, based on the votes.
The D4 Board has decided in this election, D4 members can cast up to three total votes as there are three positions up for election. Again, D4 members can cast up to three votes in this election. The election itself will be very simple, only two items on the ballot survey. The first item is for your Stack Team Villages WVB email address. The second question will include a list of all the candidates that have applied to run for the D4 Board. As there are three positions, you can cast up to three votes and are encouraged to do. No Board member can hold more than one board position.
The Lady with the highest vote count will be elected to the Board. The Man with the highest vote count will be elected to the Board. Finally, from all the remaining candidates, the Lady or Man with the next highest vote count will be elected to the Board's third position in this election.
If you are interested in running for a D4 Board in this April election process, you need to do the following...
A) Complete an application, which will be posted on the website for all D4 members to review.
B) Include a digital photo with your application that can also be posted on the website with your application.
You must be a full D4 member to run as a candidate in this election. Application with digital photo must be submitted via email no later than 11:59pm April 5th, to D4VillagesWVB@gmail.com
The Application form is on the website, under D4 --> Documents.
Here is a direct link to the Application form to run for a D4 Board position...
Assuming we have at least three candidates that have applied by the deadline the timeline is as follows...
The election will be conducted from April 20 through April 26, 11:59pm. This is subject to change if there are insufficient candidates for the election.
Once completed, successful candidates will start their one year term as of May 1, 2025.

D4 WVB Special Election is now OPEN!
For your votes to count, you need to use your Stack Team App VillagesWVB email address. That is the purpose of the first question on the election survey ballot. The remaining three questions are for you to vote for the three currently vacant D4 Board positions. No single candidate may hold more than one board position.
The election opened at 10:00pm March 2, 2025 and will close at 11:59pm March 9, 2025. You have that period of time to cast your votes. Once submitted, you will not be able to change your votes, so please take the time below to review the candidate information on the website at…
Just a reminder, you will be casting votes to fill 3 vacant D4 Board positions. You may also want to talk to the candidate(s) prior to casting your votes since you do have a week to cast your votes. Votes for the vacancies are all cast at once, so plan accordingly.
Use the link below to go to the election survey ballot when you are ready to cast your votes…
Feb 13, 2025
SPECIAL ELECTION:
Tricia Wood has successfully been accepted to D3! This good news for Tricia unfortunately means D4 has lost a board member as of 2/10. On the following day 2/11, Vicki Schnurr resigned from the D4 Board. The next day after that on 2/12, Lucy Millor also resigned from the D4 Board.
The remaining D4 Board members, Bob and Dale, have decided to conduct a special election for a successor to Tricia's position. As Tricia was the highest lady vote receiver in the previous election, her term is good until April 30, 2026. So, the successful D4 candidate to replace Tricia will fill that vacancy and term.
For the other two Board members that resigned, Vicki and Lucy, their terms of office end in just over two months from now, on April 30, 2025. Therefore Bob and Dale have decided to get input from the entire D4 membership on how best to fill those temporary vacancies whose term of office expire on April 30, 2025.
We will post a survey in the Stack Team App on Thursday February 13th and the survey will close on Saturday February 15th at 11:59pm with the following two options...
1) Add the positions Vicki's and Lucy's vacated to the special election being held for Tricia's vacant position and have the D4 membership vote for successors to those two positions with a term expiring April 30, 2025.
2) Vote to permit Bob and Dale to appoint temporary successors to fill Vicki's and Lucy's vacancies with a term expiring April 30, 2025.
All full D4 members will be eligible to cast their vote in the survey with the majority decision determining the outcome of how to fill Vicki's and Lucy's temporary vacancies. If the majority vote is to add those two positions to the special election with Tricia's position voting would be as follows...
A) Vicki's position would need to be filled by a Lady candidate.
B) Lucy's position could be filled by either a Lady or Man with the highest number of votes AFTER the top Lady vote receiver fills Tricia's vacancy and the 2nd highest Lady vote receiver fills Vicki's vacant position. The third vacancy for Lucy's vacated position would be the highest vote receiver Lady or Man from the remaining candidates.
So, in summary, Tricia's and Vicki's vacancies must be filled by Lady D4 member candidates, while Lucy's vacant position could be filled by a Lady or Man D4 member. I know this sounds somewhat complicated, but that is how the committee prior to the current board set things up and the current board made that methodolgy part of our ByLaws. The application procedure for men will be the same as mentioned below for Tricia's position if the D4 membership decides an election is needed Vicki's and Lucy's positions.
Again we are definitely looking for a LADY candidate to replace Tricia. If you are interested in running for the D4 Board in this special election, you need to do the following...
A) Complete an application which is posted on the D4 Documents page here.
B) Include a digital photo with your application that can also be posted on the website with your application.
You must be a full current Lady D4 member to run as a candidate in this election. Application with digital photo must be submitted via email no later than 11:59pm February 28th, to D4VillagesWVB@gmail.com
Based on the results of the survey, if a vote is decided by majority of full D4 members, Men will be able to also apply for Lucy's vacant position in the special election, if the D4 membership decides to proceed that way. Applications for those other two positions with digital photo must be submitted via email no later than 11:59pm February 28th, to D4VillagesWVB@gmail.com
An email with the election information will be sent out on Saturday March 1st. All D4 members will have the opportunity to vote for ONE lady from the available candidates and possibly more candidates based upon the outcome of the survey.
EVALUATION PROGRAM CHANGES:
The D4 Board has made some significant changes to the evaluation process which goes into effect starting on Sunday, February 16th.
D4 members will ONLY be evaluated after one year from their most recent existing evaluation. Evaluation at that time can occur in any D4 event, Ladies, Mens or Co-Ed event play. Evaluations will also occur whenever a D4 player is eligible and requests the opportunity to obtain a D3 Visitor Pass.
Any D4 player may also make a request to be evaluated at any time, if you so choose. Our Lead Evaluators will try their best to accommodate such requests as evaluators are available. Players on Visitor passes to D4 will be evaluated as they have been in the past. Other than the above mentioned scenarios, D4 players will not be evaluated at events by the respective evaluation teams.

The D4 Board has decided to bring back competitive league team play for Ladies, Men and Co-Ed. These events will be in addition to the current divisional play everyone currently has access to. For now, assuming the recreation department does not provide additional pool time and space, Ladies competitive team league play will be on Mondays in the not too far future. For Men, the board will decide for either Tuesday, Thursday or Friday based upon the number of people to sign-up for the competitive team league. For Co-Ed, the board will decide for either Sunday or Wednesday based upon the number of people to sign-up for the competitive team league.
The initial effort for this will be a 4 week season. Play in the competitive team league will be similar to what has been done in t he past by the prior committee and the Board before them. Based on the number of people that sign-up to participate, we will have captains, which will in turn select teams via a draft process.
To start this effort, here are the questions and possible answers you will need to make if you choose to sign-up and participate...
What is your First and Last name? Fill-in the blanks
What is your Villages ID number? Fill-in the blank
What is your street address? Fill-in the blank
What is your email address? Fill-in the blank
What is your contact phone number? Fill-in the blank (for use by your captain to contact you)
Please provide an emergency contact name? Fill-in the blank
Please provide an emergency contact phone number for this person? Fill-in the blank
Which competitive league team events would you consider playing in, Mens, Ladies and/or Co-Ed? (Check all that apply to you)
Do you want to be on a team? OR Do you want to Sub Only? (Choose only one option)
Do you want to be a captain? Yes/No
Will you be a Captain, IF NEEDED? Yes/No (This assumes there were insufficient volunteers from the previous question)
Will you possibly miss any league play dates? Yes/No If Yes, which dates? Fill-in the blank (Assuming the 4 week season starts as soon as August or in September)
If you are not Drafted, are you willing to play in the competitive team league as a Sub? Yes/No
Other comments? Fill-in the blank
Stay tuned for a D4 league signup form ...

Our D4 Board met on Tuesday night, and in addition to voting on several agenda items, the details of which are starting to be posted, check out the new Division - D4 menus on www.villageswvb.com. We discussed the Monday trial categorization of seasoned and growing players. It was voted to table this initiative for now due to miscommunication. As a board only one month into our term, we are still navigating through trial and error, and we sincerely apologize for any confusion caused. In light of this new decision, we have deleted/archived the existing sign up for Monday June 3rd and will be reposting a new sign up for all players at 5pm today, Friday May 31st.
Your two board members, Lucy Millor and Dale Evankovich will be meeting with The Villages Recreation Department, Andrew Esposito and most likely Jack Doty, regarding the possibility/availability of scheduling a town hall meeting in the not too far future. Logistically this is a challenge, since as of this morning we have 139 D4 ladies, and getting the availability of a room to conduct such a meeting of such potential size and comply with fire, safety and occupancy codes requires direct involvement of The Villages Recreation Department. The main focus of this meeting is to give all of you a platform to express your preferences and make collective decisions about the future of Ladies Division 4, in regards to the recent trial program.
Until then, we highly encourage all ladies to continue signing up. It has been truly wonderful to see such a positive turnout, and we hope this continues. Your participation and engagement are crucial to the success of our division, and we ask for your continued support and patience as we work toward a plan for the future. Thank you for hanging in there with us and for your continued enthusiasm and commitment.
Your D4 Board
