Greetings, Here are the schedules for the WNL season! We appologize for the lateness in getting this out to you, since some teams will have games starting this coming Sunday. Note that all games are *FIXED* times and servers, but that captains have the flexibility of moving game times or servers if *both* captains agree. Team F below, is composed of the people who joined the WNL as players seeking a team. We encourage teams to consider obtaining players from this team (since they have a large roster) if the formed team is experiencing attendance problems and wants to add one to two fresh faces. Rosters should be available shortly on the wnl website (http://w1.netrek.org/wnl/). The trade deadline will be Saturday 11/4/2000.

This is available from: ftp://ftp.netrek.org/pub/netrek/servers/vanilla/Vanilla-2.9pl6.WNL.tar.gz Run configure and install as per directions. This WNL version of the Vanilla server already has LTD_STATS and LTD_PER_RACE defined. It is also bundled with RSA. Be sure to enable RSA. Captains are reminded that games should start by 15 minutes after the designated game time to avoid forfiets. Captains can ask for an additional 15 minutes, but the opposing captain must agree. Please be polite about these requests, both in asking and in granting. Captains and players are encouraged to view the entire rulebook at: http://w1.netrek.org/wnl/rulebook/ In this is contained all the rules for subbing and how the scoring system will work. Let's have a fun season! -Kevin Bernatz Akira/LongIslandIcedT WNL organizer
