Call for Players - World Electronic Hockey League From: laramee@CAM.ORG (Francois-Dominic Laramee) Date: Sat, 25 Apr 1992 02:33:50 +0000 This is a preliminary call for players for season #2 of the World Electronic Hockey League. The first season will come to an end on April 30th with the presentation of the two Finals; there were 42 teams from 5 countries in this first season. My goal is to expand to 48 teams; if more people are interested, I will allow up to 60. The WeHL is a simulation of the sport of professional hockey, with less violence. Each player is allowed to create 34 fictional players (we do not use actual players from any pro leagues) from a "power point" pool, and acts as head coach and general manager of his team. Each team plays a 40-game schedule and also participates in the league Playoffs. The games are simulated by a rather extensive software package, written by yours truly (which means that good suggestions, and there were many in the first season, can be included in the system quite fast, but also that there may be a few bugs lurking). The WeHL is free of charge for now, but this is going to be its last season on the net. I am launching a commercial version in the fall (mostly in Quebec at first). If you are interested in joining, send me mail at the following address: laramee@altitude.cam.org Note that this is a new address; my account at McGill may not live much longer. I will send the rulebook to anyone who asks it. You will then have until May 15th to submit a valid roster; details in the rulebook.
