Dragons,
Individual trophies have arrived. I will bring them to the Jack Carter Park tonight. $10 per player.
Team Fund updates: $51.85 - $12.03 (snacks) - $32 (beers) = $7.82
For those not going to show tonight, I will bring it on Sundays.
FYI. Next Wednesday 07/10/02, I will attend all captain's meeting to pick up our team's registration material. Registration is on 07/27/02 Saturday, which is about 3 weeks from now. Are we ready for Fall 2002 season? Please be prepared.
Cheers,
Chen, Si

All,
Just a remainder for tomorrow's celebration party starting 8:00 pm at Dick's house. Please send an email to Dick to indicate if you are going or not.
So far, 11 people (including Qi Wang) have indicated to go tomorrow. I will go with my family too. Since there are $51.85 left in the team fund, I will use it to buy some beers and snacks.
Please bring your own specialties, if you have one, such as Bai-Jiu, etc.
Also, for players like Xiao Su, Ray, and BinBing, who will travel back late Friday night, maybe you guys can show up late just for the gathering and to watch the 1/4 match together. Just a thought. Love to see you guys there.
Cheers,
Chen, Si

performance. They performed pretty good, I think, based on feedbacks from
some of our players. I may call another candidate in two weeks for a tryout.
I think our team may need to start scrimmage games beginning in mid-July so
that we can get rid of the problem of 'slow start'.

list at least. I will put my name to start with.

recruit new energetic young players for upcoming seasons. If any of existing
players are determine (100%) NOT to play next season, please kindly inform
me as early as possible so that I might know the exact head counts team
needs to recruit. However if you are not decided, please do not let me know
at all. I sincerely hope all current players (except Zhou Ge, Alex, and
ZhiGao), who are well-experienced in league games, can return in Fall, 2002.

You guys may have to take some notes about any tricks, strategies, 'black

as good as S. Korea or Japan......
