Description:

The VSSL is a free e-mail soccer management game using the esms software.

At the time of writing (April 10, 2002) there are two divisions with eight
teams each. New managers may design their own team. Turns are one per
week.

Apart from submitting a team sheet detailing game tactics, line up, tactic
changes and substitutions, a manager is able to issue a special order each
turn. These range from building more seats to the stadium to avoid rioting
and accidents come cup final time, recruiting fans through campaigns
(increasing gate fees), to just about anything you can get away with. A
manager must also keep the finances in order by signing a sponsorship
contract, negotiating player salaries, and determine gate fees.

Finally, to plan ahead means keeping an eye on the transfer market.
Perhaps you should bid for a player just to keep him from your
competitors?
