[SBU Board] Electronic Device Policy

[Eric Sieg]

Just to you:

In the meantime, can we just make the GNTs/NAPs use the same policy as 
regionals/Nationals by calling it out in the conditions of contest?

As I mentioned at Burnaby during our 2 April board meeting, there is an apparent gap in the flow down of the policy to Districts' GNT and NAP Finals.  The integrity of these events that qualify teams and pairs for national championships is no less important than regional tournament events.  As I said in Burnaby, I ask that you bring this policy gap forward so that it is addressed and resolved by the ACBL BoD in a timely manner.
