REMINDER! The WNL season starts this coming weekend!
ET has officially been added to the season, so see the revised schedule

========================================================================
GAMES THIS WEEK
SUNDAY:
DO(h) vs ET(a): 3:00 PM eastern at netrek.crackaddict.com

========================================================================
I also want to ask everyone to pay attention to how they feel the
continuous scoring impacts their games this season. Try not to start with
an initial bias, but honestly evaluate it. At the end of this season, I'm
going to call for a vote on whether we keep it or go back to regular
scoring (note that any WNLC member can actually initiate a vote/request
during the season...but we won't change something major like the way we
score games until the season is over). This is on my own initiative and
is not associated with the WNL organizers.

Comments:
The WNL rulebook is available at : www.netrek.org/wnl/
See the WNL rulebook for starting times of games based on whether a team
has a designation of European, Pacific, or Eastern.
See the WNL rulebook for altnerative servers in case of network or
server problems.
Games can be played at any time during the 13 day bi-week. The games
are auto-scheduled for the first Sunday or Tuesday of the bi-week and one
should make every attempt to play on that date.
Captains can agree to any server as long as it is running the latest WNL
source. This is available from: www.netrek.org/wnl/server/ which includes
directions on installing and running the server.
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 granting. See the
rulebook section on delayed games and the procedure required to obtain a
forfiet in such a case (www.netrek.org/wnl/rulebook/ see rule 6f)
