SPARF Season Wrap Up From: nicholso@pioneer.arc.nasa.gov (Melvin H. Nicholson YBH) Date: Fri, 02 Apr 1993 00:11:20 +0000 The regular season of SPARF has just ended, and below is a brief summary of the ladder. For those not familiar with SPARF, it is Australian Rules Football by Email on a simulated pitch. The game empahasizes a managerial role, designing lineups and training for the team, and the game itself is then completely run by the computer. For more info on SPARF, mail munch@soda.berkeley.edu a message with the subject "help" (Don't actually type the quotes --- I only mention that because many have tried) The gmae was organised into 4 tiered leagues (Gold, Silver, Bronze, Tin) and two expansion leagues (Plastic and Cardboard). The winner of regular season play for each league gets the flag for that league, then post-season play determines the Premiership. The Premiers are awarded the Sparf Cup. While the top teams play for the cup, the others play for relegation to see who will be in what league the next season. In Season Four, Tin will be abolished and the other league will be expanded to 16 teams each. Some expansion teams will be available at the start of season four. Without furth preface the results: ====================================================================== "This is Pamela Twitch with the final finals for Season Three. Wow. In the hotly contested Gold League, the Redwoods were not only upset by the Cattle, but buy just enough points to give the Maulers the Gold Flag and the top seed going into the playoffs in the quest for Premeirship and the SPARF cup. The Silver Flag was grabbed by the Rowdy Yobbos by scoring the biggest blowout ever against the Muppets. The Bronze, Tin, and Plastic Flags were taken, as expected by the Rhapsody, Vultures, and Angels, all of whom went undefeated in their relatively lighter competitions. Cardboard has one more week of regular season play, so the split due date for orders will be Wednesday the Seventh, and for everyone else will be Wednesday the Fourteenth. Playoff pairings will come out just after the Cardboard teams' last match. Until next week, this is Pamela Twitch, signing off."
