     First, I had to have a division line. Who would be on the East squad and who would constitute the West team? So I plotted out the addresses of every 2016 member on a map of the Austin area and began to pour over the results looking for a good division line. And there as clear as a bell was a natural dividing line with only two exceptions. The line was the Lower Colorado River. It transverses the Austin area from a somewhat northern origin to a slightly southeastern journey down to the Gulf of Mexico thus giving a natural East/West regional division to the map.
     The membership numbers turned out to be 148 in the east and 104
