Dragons,

Here is the stats on the voting: 18 out of current 21 league players voted
'YES'; 1 player voted 'Does not matter'; 2 players have not voted yet (all
having yahoo.com address). And 2 Dragon Veteran said 'YES'. No objections so
far.

So based on the voting results, team Dragon will have regular team practices
on Thursdays at 8:00pm PRC. The goal of practice is to, as Scott puts it,
"know each other better and improve the level of play, and more discipline
and fun".

For league players, we will maintain two lists: ToShow list and NoShow list.
1) Players on the ToShow list must notify the team if he is not able to show
up by email or by phone; 2) Players on the NoShow list must notify the team
if he is to show up. This is discipline. The purpose is to always have
enough and adequate players for each practice and to ensure the FUN of each
practice.

So, the following players would not show normally due to job and family
etc.: Ray Han, Eric Zhang, Alex Xing, and BinBing Wang.

The rest of league players (17) are being put to the ToShow list. If you
wish to have your name listed on the NoShow list, please let me know.

Any time the number of players to show drops below ten, the session is to be
cancelled if no helpers from x-Dragons etc. are available.

So let's start our 1st practice session this Thursday at 8:00pm.

Again all Dragon Veterans are welcome to attend the practices without any
notices.

Go Dragons,

PS, We had a pretty bad last-20-minutes game yesterday. We all have SEEN it
happen before. It was like a REPLAY. We all know we lost the control and
everybody wanted to do something about it, but ...... no body could do
anything about it, including myself. That was the problem. My view on it is
that our team needs more Disciplines and Emotion Controls of our games to
reach full maturity of team Dragon. I am hoping that through practices and
more games we could achieve that. We fall, we learn, and we improve
(hopefully)!

Finally, please, each player think deeply: "what could I have done in the
last game to improve the team?" and "what team should do as whole?" Let's
bring these thoughts to the Thuresday practices and improve ourselves as a
team.
