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
