Hmmm... Well I would prefer at least one "knowledgeable" BW player on each
team but seeing that Eric J. and Neil arn't on your list of definites I don't
know who is next in line (Dave E. probably).

Actually that was Dave and I as captains and I think I heard a moan every time
I picked. Seeing that my forces were decimated pretty early on I don't blame
them.
Anyway without knowing who is planning on bringing what it makes it hard to
split things up. I will still try and make a suggestion based on absolutely
nothing at all and see if its acceptable or not.
Using the 6 names posted above...
Team A.
Shaun S.
Suzanne R.
Joe C.
Team B.
Dave E.
Jorge F.
Eric K.

There you go a first suggestion has been made, hate me if you will but at least
I was not a chicken like Shaun who was afraid of offending someone ;-).

Well for some strange reason my College nickname was "King" so I guess that
gives me as much authority as anyone in dividing things up.
