[SBU Board] Round Robin Complications - Suggestions?

[Tracey Guice]

Art and Lee Silvas like to play teams although I have no idea what their
interest would be for this.

My only other suggestion would be to send out an email blast to the unit
seeing if anyone wanted to participate at the last minute. If might be
easier for a pair if they knew they did not have to look for another pair.
