The ACBL game and the FFB game are nothing to do with the YC. Cardinbrook 
Ltd rents tables to the YC; the Yanks and the Frogs (and even to me from 
time to time) and has no interest at all in what you do with the tables 
provided the equipment remains undamaged; thus sumo wrestling might not be 
an appropriate use of the equipment.
