Rufus:

TIMS stands for "Team Information Management System". This is the primary interface team leaders use when creating new teams, registering for regionals and the championship, updating team contact information, etc. TIMS used to have a feature which allowed team leaders to look up the contact information of other team leaders, but that feature has been discontinued. An email system like the one you are suggesting would go a long way toward restoring that capability, and then some.
