With a little over a week to go.... 

Here are the teams for TBS III and BoB. If this has changed,please 
let me know. 

TBS III: 
1- UGA (Arlo Lyle) 
2- UGA (Noah Mink et.al) (?) 
3- Florida (with special guest traitor, I mean player, Mark Franklin) 
4- Jeff Sherman et.al. 
5- S FL-A 
6- S FL-B 
7- Team Hack 
8- Dave Leach or UTC 
9- Macon State 

I need to try to have an odd number of teams for bye purposes.I can 
always consolodate singles and doubles into groups if need be. I also 
need to know two VERY IMPORTANT items right now: 

1-Are you still coming? 
2-What is you update on the packet? and 2a- Do you see youself 
getting it to me on time? 

If 2a is no, then please let me know if you'll copy four sets for the 
rooms. Keep in mind after 4pm Friday March 10, I wont be near a 
copier, so thats why I need the packets ASAP. 

Cancel Bowl is giving us at least one packet, but Im hoping for a few 
more. If you happen to be supplying packets to Cancel Bowl, please 
send a copy my way at the email listed at the bottom. 

And of course, we'll have the third installment of Mark Franklin's 
Time-Life Strife Music Rounds. The Sand Gnat Mini-Golf tournament may 
or may not take place this year due to the addition of BoB. 

Now on to Beachside. Here is who I have coming: 

1- UGA (Arlo) 
2- S FL A 
3- S FL B 
4- Macon State 
5- Furman 
6- FSU 
7-UGA (Noah) 
8- UTC (?) 
9- 

While we do have two extra spots, I have 12 rounds from Yale, so we 
can do a double RR, a single RR with split playoffs, or whatever. 
There's no need for byes, but they can be helpful. 

Also, I need to know if you are still planning on coming to BoB (this 
is mainly aimed at Furman, as they are the only ones not coming to 
TBS III). 

For those coming to TBS, please get those packets either into me soon 
or tell youre going to run off four sets and bring them with you. 

And now, some reminders about Jekyll Island (or, if you're new to the 
area, some hepful hints): 

1- It will cost you $3 (at last time I checked) for EACH TIME you to 
enter onto Jekyll Island. There are weekend passes if you see 
yourself coming on and off alot (esp if you're staying on the 
island). There are plenty of hotels in Brunswick and St. Simon's, 
which are about 15 miles from Jekyll. 

2- Food- Here's a link for lunch choices for TBS and BoB. Keep in 
mind there arent THAT many close eateries on the island, but they are 
good. I recommend SeeJay's*. And also some new news- there's a 
Denny's on the island. Zach's and Zachary's are across from the 
Convention Center.

*In fact, after TBS III, I'd like for anyone who wants to come join 
us at SeeJay's for their Low Country Boil Dinner. It's rather good 
form what I hear. 

3-Other events- Keep in mind there will be other events at the Center 
and the Island, including a state soccer tournament down on the south 
end of the island. In the last two years, we've had a classic car 
show, a national dance competition, an RV show AND (my fav) a wedding 
reception not even 20 yards away from the tournament. Parking may be 
at a premium. My suggestion is park to the left of the convention 
center. 

4-Change in location- speaking of left side...the tournament is being 
held this yea in the conference rooms 4-8 next to the main hall of 
the convention center (if you were there last year, it was where the 
national dance competition was) and NOT in our traditional space, 
Beachside Hall. It's the side of the building with the flagpoles. 
I'll try to have signs up leading the way. 

5- Directions to Jekyll- Get off of I-95 at exit 29. Head east from 
I95 for about ten miles or so until you see the signs for Jekyll on 
the right (if you start going up a huge bridge, you've gone too far). 
Take the causeway to the Island.
