I have around 2-4 copies of various postal game rules that were given to
me by a friend whose heavily into them, Bruce Geryk.  Although it took me
ages to get the rules put into a file on the net, the only thing I can suggest
at this point is to photocopy them and USMail them out to you.

a) adjust the deadlines.  In the postal game, sessions usually were run
anywhere from 2-5 weeks apart.  If the whole thing was automated, I'm
sure you could do something in the area of 3-5 days apart.
b) start more divisions.  Because I have problems just dealing with one
division doesn't mean that you can't try and run a larger league.  In fact,
most postal leagues usually have 3 divisions consisting of 8 or 12 clubs
per division.  Its all up to you, depending on how you want to run things.
