Dan is entirely correct.  My tournament page at
http://www.e-falk.com/qb is still up and still
working, but I've had a grand total of three
tournaments submitted to me in the past six months.

The site is still running if TDs want to use it.
My site was intended to replace Jason Paik's
Tourcenter after his graduation, but while Jason
researched tournament dates and added them himself,
I just don't have time to do that.  It's especially
true now that I've graduated, am no longer on the
circuit, and am having the new and unique experience
of a full-time job.

The site is automated-- TDs just need to fill in a
web form, and I approve submissions every couple
days or so.  If people start using the site again,
I'd be glad to add some features (sort by region,
etc.) that people would like to see.  Just the same,
if people are happier using collegequizbowl or
hsquizbowl or any of the other sites out there, I
will defer to them.

Warm wishes to all my friends on the circuit for a
good year,
-Michael Falk
formerly of Iowa State, now in Milwaukee, WI
