You can find the list itself, and instructions for adding games or comments, at http://www.pbm.com/~lindahl/pbm.html or ftp://ftp.pbm.com/pub/pbm/PBM.list -- greg ] Name: International Test Cricket League Type: Sports Simulation, Cricket Duration: 18 weeks Frequency : 1 per week Status: Starting up, players wanted GM: Computer generated results Email: dant@probe.co.uk EEmail: daniel@tortyfoo.demon.co.uk URL: http://www.totalweb.co.uk/tortyfoo/itc/pbem.html Last-update: 1996Sep23 Keywords: free, closed-ended, email, computer, sports, modern Description: Managers take charge of one of the 9 test playing countries or a Rest of World squad. Each squad has 16 players. For each Test players nominate a team, batting order, opening bowlers, wicket keeper, individual batting & bowling tactics and team batting & bowling tactics. Season lasts 18 weeks. Players can get injured. Masses of statistics generated plus unique performance points rating to judge current form of all players. Whilst real player names are used each manager starts with the same number of skill points to allocate to his team so all sides are theoretically equal. Player skill levels can be adjusted slightly each turn (uninjured players only). The game is based upon a cricket simulation (International Test Cricket) for PCs I have written that is available as Shareware. ITC is not needed to play but may help managers decide tactics. ITC has its own web page at http://www.totalweb.co.uk/tortyfoo/itc/index.html Up
