- If you are interested in joining the Spring 1993 International Netrek
- League, please read this message in its entirety.
-
- The INL is a collection of teams made up of players from the U.S.
- and Canada who are interested in playing organized games of netrek.
- A team consists of 8 or more players, one of whom will act as the
- team captain; there is no limit to the number of players on a team,
- but no one may be listed on more than one roster.
-
- The newly revised INL Rulebook will be released at the beginning of
- the season.
-
-
- POTENTIAL TEAM CAPTAINS READ THIS:
-
- The job of team captain takes a lot of time; if you are
- pressed for time now, we suggest that you don't volunteer to
- be a captain. There is much secretarial work involved in captaining
- a team, especially an at-large team; if you hate secretarial work,
- don't become a captain. The other team captains will be counting
- on you to schedule all your games, so this is not a position to
- accept lightly. If you just want to play some high-quality
- games, you are welcome to put a team together to scrimmage
- INL teams; the INL, however, is reserved for teams who plan
- to be dedicated to the game and who will complete their
- schedule (no, we don't know exactly how the scheduling is going to
- work). Please consider this when applying for membership in the INL.
-
- It's a good idea to have more than 8 people on your roster;
- most INL players are college students with college students'
- schedules, so it can be difficult to muster a full team.
-
-
- POTENTIAL TEAM MEMBERS READ THIS:
-
- Your team will be counting on you to show up for all your
- games; if your team has fewer than 8 players for a game,
- they may be forced to play shorthanded or forfeit the game.
- The league is supposed to be fun, first and foremost, but many
- people take it quite seriously, and will be quite angry with
- you if you fail your team.
-
-
- HOW TO JOIN:
-
- Send your team's complete roster along with your team's name
- (please try to think of one before you ask to be in the league,
- it cuts down on the confusion later) to inlcouncil@cs.montana.edu.
- Please include the words 'INL Team Application' in the title
- of your mail. It is recommended that each player use his most
- recognizable name for INL games; however, it is permissible to
- register under a different name. If a player registers under a
- different name, he must also provide his most recognizable name.
- A format something like the below would be appreciated if you
- are planning a team concept.
-
- INL name Most recognizable name
- Heath Bar Crunch Mojo Riser
- Cherry Garcia Spaceace!
- etc.
-
-
- The INL Council reserves the right to approve all weird names.
-
- E-mail addresses of your team members are appreciated, but not
- required. Please indicate with your application if someone
- other than the listed captain will handle the scheduling for the team.
-
- Applications will be open until 23:59 PST, Thursday, February 4.
- If you don't have a final team roster by that time, please mail us
- with a provisional roster and an estimated date when it will be
- final.
-
-
- Welcome to the league!
