[Darts]Dart results for 11-30-2006

[Harvey]

There may not be a good way to allow for late players in the night's 
competition. Starting later, especially with more players, would make 
for a very long and late night. Having players "call in" or 
"pre-register" would allow for late comers to get in on the team 
assignment but could affect the ability to start games on time, again 
possibly making for long or late nights. While occassional latecomers 
occurr it is usually not a large problem (like last week). Suggest we 
continue as is and see if there is a real problem. This just may be a 
misunderstanding for the newer players.

As for food, the 14th, the 21st (or both) would be good. It is a little 
late to organize for this week. Also, it may be easier to get concensus 
and volunteers in a face to face meeting on Dart night. We could do pot 
luck OR decide on a menu (i.e. pizza, chinese or italian) and have 
everyone contribute $$ to have food delivered.
