[SBU Board] Agenda for tonight

[Aaron Mohrman]

I'm also going to miss tonight's meeting.

Overall the tournament went well. Another item to consider is how well
running the 'B' Swiss as a round-robin worked. I spoke with two B players
who found it distracting to be in the middle of the room, while events on
both sides of them had different round times.
