This idea was first suggested in the "RE: IDEAS" email that jump started this discussion board...
Idea #2 - This one is a lot simpler. The idea would be a Google specifically designed for Shuffleboard (I'm calling it Shoogle). Basically, you'd have the same setup as google, but when you type in, say "Darrol Nelson", it would go out to the 20-30 shuffleboard websites (however many there are) and get every reference to Darrol Nelson. Currently, if you go to Google and type in "Darrol Nelson"... or "ABC Shuffleboard events" you might get a few hits, but what I'm talking about is indexing the hell out of ONLY the shuffleboard websites, so that typing anything related to shuffleboard would result in lots of hits. This, too, is done programatically. In other words, I would write a program that would go to each shuffleboard website, indexing the hell out of every page, and put the results in my own database.
