EEFL ready for more players From: wickart@ichips.intel.com (Bill 'Prune' Wickart) Date: Thu, 13 Feb 1992 18:53:12 +0000 The Experimental Electronic Football League has survived its season 5 expansion from a single division of 12 teams to a 3-tiered system of 60 teams overall. As we begin the playoffs for the Cup, relegation, honor, and glory, we are ready for some more new managers to enter the competition. There is already one established team ready to take over (the Holland Club Irregulars, currently playing for promotion to the second division from the Tasman). Also, I fear that the First Division's Manager of the Year has lost net access for good, making Smurfs and Friends available for takeover. Besides this, we are looking for about a dozen new managers to make up a new novice division. If you weren't sure before, and have more time now, please consider us again. If you've never heard of us, but would like to manage your very own football team, please write. EEFL is a simulation game, not a fantasy or rotisserie league. You create your players from scratch within the guidelines of the rules. Every week or ten days (I may have to slow down a bit this season), you send me your lineups for each of three matches. I pit them against the lineups your opponents sent me, and send you back the results. You also get to train your young players, coach the old ones, watch your bank account, trade players and resources, write amusing press releases, and ask questions on the rules. At the end of each season, there is a set of tournaments involving every team (the purpose is to play, play, play). This season, we have the top 8 teams playing for The Cup, the next 8 fighting for the two other spots in the First Division, 12 more playing for the other four spots in the Second Division, and the remaining teams playing among themselves for fun, honor, glory, and a bit more money for next season's draft and coaching facilities. It is basically a resource management game, but we are slowly adding more detailed tactics and bringing the resource issues more in line with reality (as long as reality is easy to manage and still fun). By the way, this "football" is the version called "soccer", not "gridiron", "XXX rules", or any of the others. You know the one -- round ball, white with black pentagons, 8 x 22 - foot goal, etc. If you're interested, write me at wickart@ichips.intel.com -- I'll send you a set of rules and a team-building kit.
