Just to add to what Sclasclemski said, in our soon-to-start match against South Dakota, they added a few mid-level players, and we are now at a slight disadvantage.  We just need a few players to even it up; perhaps one 1800+ player, or two 1500+ players would be great, but ANY and all level players are needed and welcome, and in fact the SD team currently has 4 players in the 1100-1380 range with no opponents.  If you've never played in a team match before, it's fun and easy, and this is the perfect opportunity.  You play two games against someone at a level similar to yours, with 3 days per move, so it isn't a huge burden on time. Come on in, & Happy Holidays y'all!   -tony-
