No, there is no requirement to do anything on Facebook to participate in 
BRAL.  I previously was soliciting interest in a BRAL team that would use 
Facebook.  So far, I've detected no interest in that, so will probably not 
pursue it.

My suggestion is to look at the material below and get yourself registered 
for BRAL.  Later, I will be in touch.

Sometime soon, I will see if anyone wants to be on an adult team.  That 
would be a team not using Facebook for communication.  Note that you can 
participate in BRAL as an individual, and you don't have to be part of a 
team.

Go brl!
Bob
