Please write us! Send all news items for inclusion in USBA Update to
update@usba.org. Now for the news:RATINGS!!!!: The 1999 Ratings are finally finished! All USBA members
should thank Jason Smucker (gt5353b@prism.gatech.edu) for all the time and
energy he has volunteered to get this done. We'll let you check out the
results for yourself at http://www.prism.gatech.edu/~gt5353b/USBA/ But
let's just say that it's no surprise who's on top. There is a surprise in
the 2000 ratings, though, which are in progress. Right now Steve Cook is in
the lead, but that's because he's the only one who went to three of the
tournaments which have sent in scores. So ATTENTION TDs from St. Louis, Canton, Seattle, and Hartford - Unless you want Steve Cook to be National Ratings Champ, send in your scores!BOARD BUSINESS: October was a relatively quiet month for the Board. Our continuing relationship with Foster's Beer and the future of USBA
sponsorship in general was discussed. The Board has also begun the process
of filling the two vacant members-at-large spots.FBC: The Future of Boomerangs Committee has been working furiously for the past several weeks (often exceeding 20 emails per day) arguing, debating,
and discussing various ways to revolutionize the sport. Many major changes
will likely be proposed to the Board, and comments are welcome as always.STICKERS: As announced before, the USBA store now has boomerang bumper stickers for sale. The "Boomerangs are Coming Back!" stickers are $1 each, and the official USBA logo red balloons are $0.50. Place an order of $25 or more and get them for half price. This is a great way to expose the public to boomerangs, as conversation-starters or advertising. Contact Billy
Brazelton (update@usba.org) to place an order.TOURNAMENT RESULTS: Please submit all tournament results to Tony
(MHREditor@usba.org) and Ted (tbailey@ic.net) for inclusion in the website
and MHR.CALENDAR:
