Schedule of competitions as of September 1992 
Compiled from a list provided by the NDCA.
The list I have also has mailing addresses, but in
the interest of brevity and my wrist's continued
health, I have only included the phone numbers.
Hopefully, there are no typos in the phone numbers. (They
_were_ checked once.)

I have commented on some of the competitions.
If anyone out there has any comments on any of the competitions
listed below, please send them to me.  I am very interested
in expanding my knowledge about the comps in the US.
If I get a lot of comments, I will compile and post them.

If you have any questions about the list, contact me 
at rbrennen@iron.berkeley.edu on internet.
