The National Strat-O-Matic Hockey League Newsletter League Established May 1, 1997 Volume #13, Issue #4 - October 21, 2009 ********************************************************************* Current League Officers: Commissioner: Doug Norris Vice-Commissioner: Brian Leahy (7/15/07 to present) Email the whole league: mailto:nshl at yahoogroups dot com NSHL Chat List: mailto:nshlchat at yahoogroups dot com Web Page Administrator: Guy Caron League Web Site: http://nshl.org Files Adminstrator: Brian Leahy / Tom Vinacci League Files Site: http://www.highrantdistrict.com/SOM/NSHL Team Websites: Capital City Cougars: http://members.tripod.com/~CapCity/ Seattle Rainiers: http://math.colorado.edu/~norrisdt/rainiers/rainiers.html *************************************************************************** SEASON THIRTEEN DEBUT ISSUE: Tonight, all twenty-four NSHL teams will play games on what is the first night of the league's thirteenth season! If you have any questions about how to handle things, the easiest thing to do is ASK. (Actually, the easiest thing to do is just to do whatever it is you want to do anyhow, but I'd prefer that you ASK instead.) I am always online - if I don't respond to you within ten minutes at any hour of the day, it's because I hate you and am deliberately ignoring you. Also, the New Owner/Associate FAQ is a good reference: http://math.colorado.edu/~norrisdt/newownerfaq.html Read this entire document. You'll be asked to read it again later in this section of the newsletter. Strategy files are due by the end of the first Thursday of each biweek, or thirty-six hours after the newsletter release (whichever is later). Incentive Points will be applied if necessary. Don't forget to tell me your 2009-10 lock code if you're planning on using one. This is also an IPable offense, and since I won't find out about your non-compliance until it's an emergency (the only reason I need your lock code), I probably won't be in the best of moods. Not a good time to be in a position to receive IP, as you might imagine. Forwards rated "Point **" are allowed to play the point on either the first power-play unit or the second power-play unit (but not both). Forwards rated "Point *" are allowed to play the point on the second power-play unit only. Also, forwards may not play the point on one power-play unit and forward on the other. I can apply incentive points whenever I feel like it, so be a good owner and treat others like you would like to be treated. We're all in this to have fun! I do spot-check computer managers to make sure that things are being done within the rules, but this is mainly in case you need assistance with something. Thank you for helping me to help you! Also, READ THIS ENTIRE DOCUMENT: http://math.colorado.edu/~norrisdt/newownerfaq.html If you have suggestions for how to improve this document, please contact me directly. Thank you! Good luck to everyone this year - the owners are what make our league great! ********************************************************************* 2009-10 REGULAR SEASON LEAGUE STANDINGS: NORTHEAST
