some ideas from others about the nuts and bolts part. I was thinking
about having ratings for each one of several popular classes - like
LPP, F1L, A6, EZB, and whatever else. This might get to be too much
information. Can some other group members come up with some ideas?

A chart with ceiling catagories, beginner classes (LPP, F1L, and A6
would be great - I wouldn't include EZB :) ), and target times should
be pretty straightforward to construct.

Here's what I think we need:

- The chart (Has Don hooked us up with a fudge-factor formula for
each of these events?)
- A place to post info (Jeff's site to start, maybe NFFS if this
takes off)
- A cool name for the thing
- A logo for the stickers (artists?)
- Some PR and participation!
