I love sport simulations.I think its part of the male fantasy of owning a
professional sporting team.
They have a week to week strategy
who's the opposition, what tactics will they use, what tactics will I use,
which players will I play, will I play a partly injured player etc..

They also have a longterm strategy.
What type of player will I draft(this may not have any affect for three
seasons or so), who will I train. My sporting Team's are all called Spring
Creek P######.

My favourite Game is Ultra Cricket which is run by Tim Astley. There is over
200 teams from around the world including a number of non-cricketing
countries.

or Baseball

You will be very lucky to get into the EEBL as Richard is not expanding and
he has a long waiting list .

or Soccer (Football)
There are numerous soccer Leagues,
I play in two
EEFL (Experimental Electronic Football League)

cable)

SEND EMAIL to munch@CSUA.berkeley.edu
with the word help in the subject line.

I've also joined a Rugby Union competition which starts its second season in
a week or two. I'll see how I go.

email to RUGBY@DUVI.ESKOM.CO.ZA
with the subject: RUGBY RULES

While I will freely admit that my favourite is Ultra Cricket, it would not
be fair to rank the others as I enjoy them all, just some more than others.

A number of these games will be foriegn to you but its always interesting to
try something else.

I enjoy all games even when I get thumped. I could put in a little more
detail about these games but I may clog up the group.
