[SBU Board] Mobile Internet

[John Weinberg]

At the end of the tournament the ACBL website lists everyone who won or 
"scratched" in every event.
It also lists the total match points won be everyone who won any.
I am writing this on Monday afternoon Feb. 16 - and the website shows all 
this information as to the Vasa Park tournament just concluded.
To establish our own website, or link, or whatever it is, would seem to be 
unnecessary, both as to cost and effort.
But what we SHOULD do is to be sure our members know of the website and how 
to gain access to it*; and we should make a real effort to ballyhoo our 
winners, new Life Masters, etc.

*I am sure you can all figure out how to get this info better than can I - 
the most internet-challenged person on the board!
But to save you figuring it out:
    www.acbl.org
    tournaments
    calendar and results
    enter the date, place, type of the tournament
    go!

Thanks for checking this out Aaron.

Perhaps this is a topic for a future board meeting.
