Thanks Mark and BinBing for the hard work they had done for organizing
this team, and Dentist's effort for the last push.  I believe this will
be a great fun experience everyone will enjoy.

Due the volume of posts related to the LA trip will likely increase
prior Labor Day, this list may not be appropriate for carrying out 
materials with such a narrow/short interest span.  After talking
with Mark, we decided to move all the LA trip discussion to a new email
list, swsoccer@rsn.hp.com, the one had been used for organizing tournament
teams over the years.  The list will become active starting tomorrow.
Posts related to the tournament will still be posted to this list, but
posts on who will stay where and which restaurant to dine after the 1st game
are probably no interests to none other than who will actually sleep and
dine at LA over the labor day weekend:-)  Though talk to Mark if you're just
so interested in such topics, and we will certainly have no problem
to put you on the list:-)

On the ID front, for those who made to the 99 grand tournament, if you
can't locate your CSL ID, let me know, I should still have your ID
on my save somewhere and will forward to Mark(but if you lost your passwd,
can't help you there:-)

Another colored uniform may be needed, if possible to have.  Last time we used
the ex-WIND Blue uniform plus green put-ons, but not sure how many we can
collect this time, either one.  White?

For the extras in the fund, my suggestion is to serve as the public fund
to cover little expenses during the tournament:
- ice, drinks, other refreshments
- alot of sharing will occur on transportations, may be some reimbursement
  for each car
The examples may not be exact, but based on the previous experience, there
will be alot of purchasing for the team coming out of individual's pockets
at any point of the two days, it's the kindness and unselfishness for 
the individual doing so(and they are likely not seeking payback), but
it's the team's responsibility to find way to minimize such loses if 
all possible.  CFO BinBing?:-)  We can try to discussion more on that
on the new list.

Tom
