This is a good idea. I have been in the process of documenting the new
tables being used by the NGLTC, we used them for the first time in March and
they worked great for us, they are light weight, setup quick, have built in
plexi holders, velcro skirting (added later) and travel easily. I'll finish
my write up on them and post them on the club site. If every club does this
we can have a master link document on the ILTCO site that has a brief
summary of each design and a link to the detailed documentation on them.
