Impending Retirement of the Tourcenter Maintainer

Dear community,

My undergraduate career [and maybe quizbowl career] is about to end.  
For the past couple of years, I have maintained a database of 
tournament contacts and tournament results for the quiz bowl 
community. I've tried to do my best in providing information and 
pushing towards standardization of reporting of results so that 
everybody can see what exactly happened at tournaments they're 
interested, if only to scope out the competition, or if only they're 
curious.

I'm headed a difficult path in the future that necessitates a 
decrease in immersion in the quiz bowl community that a maintainer of 
the tournament database needs.  Being unable to actively update or 
remain "in the know" would do a disservice to those that want the 
information on the tourcenter on a timely basis.  Thus, I have to 
step aside and let somebody else takeover the job.

I'm looking for a skilled webpage designer, an active community 
member in quizbowl, with reliability to take over this job.  You 
don't have to do many of things I thought I would set out to do, like 
the Scouting Report, or Tourtools, or otherwise, but if you have 
ideas, go for it.  If you're interested in the job, contact me at:

EMAIL:  jpaikman_at_...

I'll be working through the beginning of August on the tourtools 
website and working on a scouting report of personnel movements 
through the summer.  I will also hopefully taking over the ACF 
website [coming soon to www.acf-qb.org], keeping up with the PACE 
website, and editing the Summer Science Masters.

People like R. Robert Hentzel, Samer Ismail, David Levinson, H. 
Haydon Hurst, and Jason Hong are people who volunteer their time to 
provide the community with something people sometimes take for 
granted.  I'm just following in their footsteps.

Sincerely,

Jason Paik
UAB MSTP or UC-Davis PSTP [which one?]
