Tony Twist

I understand now. I guess it just wasn't clear to me from the original posts. It also doesn't really seem fair or make sense that in the third example someone gets a grace period from midnight - 9am (even tho there has been the entire day to pick) but not in any other scenario (for example the first, where half the picking time is in the middle of the night. What is the reason for that? My confusion was that I thought this midnight-9am grace period applied universally, so that I would have 12 hours starting from 9am. This seems to make the most sense to me. Did anyone else make the same mistake or am I on my own here?

I also don't think that Mike Gartner was the highest rated available player. I'm sorry I took a while to get to my pick but I did honestly think I was still within my time, otherwise I'm confused about this 9am rule. This needs to better explained.

Sorry guys I was away all morning at work. But I don't understand why I was skipped..If the last pick before me was made at 1:40am shouldn't I have had 12 hours to pick starting at 9:00am?? (and until 9pm) What's the deal here?

Just wanted to clarify something before we start picking away. I've noticed there's a players list just above the draft page, but I've also noticed that the player stats on this list are quite different to what I'm used to in the classic rom. Many of the overall rankings are much lower than normal. Are the teams being created based on these stats or can we trust that everything will be more or less the same as the classic 94 rom?

I will play with Winnipeg unless CJ feels like giving up TO!

Well I thought my first post would have been enough to secure me Toronto after I gave in my coach name but I guess not?? Feel like picking a different team cj?

word coach:Tony Twist team:Toronto

and maybe I can be added right away since fenty is on the list twice??

I would love to be a part of this! The first attempt at a SNES draft league was great fun for the breif moments that it existed. I would love to play and I would love to play as Toronto!

NYR - Your email address bounced back my email..Where you at man?? Come online so we can play our games!! HFD - Haven't seen/heard from you either. Are we gonna finish our series tonight??

WHERE ARE YOU NYR? Met with Hartford already. We had some connection problems at the end but I think things should be fine shwartz so I hope we can finish our series sometime today. Still haven't seen NYR. Haven;t heard from you all week. Where you at? Please reply to this thread or my email about a suitable time for us to meet today to finish our games. Noone wants to lose points for not finishing! Let me know what your availability is ASAP so we can find a time to play today!

Where you guys at? Both of you have mentioned that you'll be around in the evening all week but I haven't seen you yet. I'm pretty flexable so please let me know as best you can, within an hour perhaps, of what evening this week you'll be available to play! Let's get it done before they kick me out of the league!

Sweet. Just got in now. I had never actually seen the homepage before. It all makes sense now...

Ok.so I made it to the website, but now I can't seem to figure out how I register to post in the forums..Perhaps I'm a little slow..

I'm totally down for tennis! But your links or website don't seem to work for me.. Any chance of seeing a super bomberman tourny??

How far back does this list go? I couldn't find myself on there but I'm pretty sure I've put in more than 40 games.

When I was between the ages of 8-12 I used to attend a Christian Boys Camp for part of the summer. It's seems a little strange now, looking back on what were some blatant attempts at indocrtination, but at the time I remember the camp being pretty cool, with lots of outdoor activities, and I was there with a bunch of my friends so it was all pretty jokes at the time. (Although I was recently disturbed to find out that one of our counsellors was recently accused openly of "interfering with children" or whatever the PC term is these days, and threw himself under a train as a result). Anyway, each night there would be different events planned for us - various wide games, tournaments, movie nights, and so forth - until this one night they announce that there will be a special guest. All of a sudden Paul Henderson walks into the dining hall and for the next hour or so tells us about his hockey career and scoring his famous goals in the 1972 summit series. It was pretty strange because his entire reason for being there was to tell us his own "how I found Christ" story (a recurring thing at this camp..everyone would tell us their stories) and I remember him talking specifically about his final goal in 72, and how he just "felt it" and "felt God" and told the coach that he needed to go on, and then wove in some other stuff about God and Jesus, and so on. Anyway, it was all pretty random. It was assumed that he would be giving out autographs, but the only sports related item I had for him to sign was a small plush Jr.Jays baseball toy that had been given to me by Derwin Shea, former city councillor of Toronto who at the time was the sponsor of my T-ball team (so many memories flooding back!). So Henderson signed the squishy baseball. And that was that. I'm pretty sure I lost the ball soon after.. My Second encounter was at a birthday of some rich kid who happened to be neighbours with Jim McKenny. I guess we all knew this in advance because for some reason I had my hockey stick with me at the birthday party and I got him to sign it. Anyway, decided to play with that stick some days later only to get checked into the boards with the stick wedged between the boards and my ribs, and quickly snapping it in half against the pressure of my chest. I was told later that I was lucky it was wood and not aluminum as then the stick might have punctured my heart..and then, well, I would never have had the chance to play 94 on this website. Anyway, I'm pretty sure the ref just threw the stick out in a nearby garbage while I lay on the ice cursing Jim McKenny.

Hello fellow SNES players, I'm in the midst of returning to the 94' world and am looking for some friendly matches to help get me back into good playing form. I've dusted off the controller and I'm hungry for some action. Who's up for a game? My aim is 'drinnagh' but you can call me Tony Twist.

Zalex: What's the GA? dcicon: Don't like SNES? RedWingDevil: I wouldn't say I was moping. At best it was play moping. I fully respect all the folk on this site who create and run their respective leagues, and recognize that I haven't the know how to do the same. If anyone wants to use my dream scenario as a suggestion, then by all means, but I didn't really intend it as such. I can't really think of a reliable way we could introduce money into tournaments so that will probably just have to stay in my dreams..If I was confident in how to create and run a league then I might give it a shot, but I would want to play in it also, which I can't do right now because I have no access to a controller in the foreseeable future (I don't enjoy playing with the keyboard) Halifax: hey dude. I've missed the community. Anything new in the SNES world? To be honest I became slightly disillusioned with the collapse of the once great SNES draft league. Then I failed with Team China to capture the international title and I was too crushed to continue..I may take up playing again if I return to my controller in Canada.

This dream was so powerful, so inspiring, that it drove me to return to these forums to see if what I had dreamt about had indeed become reality over the last year... The details are now hazy, but I remember walking into a large room, large enough that I might even like to call it a convention centre of sorts. I remember there was a lot of white, everything was very clean, and the overall fanciness in display and presentation of whatever was going on in there would have reminded me of an apple store had it not been for this one very important detail: on all TV/computer displays there was nhl94. Granted, it was not 94' in the traditional sense, there had been changes made, but at heart I knew what was going on. It was a large nhl94' tournament and the level of perfection with which this tournament was orchastrated I cannot properly describe. What stood out in my mind were two things. First, was the scheduling. Every game was fixed by a set date, and whoever didn't show up to play automatically forfeited the game. Presumably everyone beforehand had agreed on what days would be specific league game days, or at least understood what the days were before committing themselves, and then a schedule was drawn up accordingly. Much like in real-life leagues I suppose. This way it was either default or game played, and the league moved along quite nicely. Perhaps another reason for its great success was that either every game or the overall league (I can't remember which) was being played for money! I don't really know what system was in place, I guess I was simply blinded by the money and stopped asking questions, but at any rate, myself and everyone else involved were thrilled. Finally, what we've all wanted, to be rewarded money for playing nhl94! Anyway, for these brief moments, this white hall, in most ways possible, was an NHL94' heaven. Then I woke up and was back in reality. What's more, I had just woken up in a present life with no access to a SNES system or SNES USB controller. To tease myself further I thought to revist these forums to see what was new on the odd chance that one or all of these elements in my dream had somehow come true. But alas...

In NJ: NJ 2 - CHI 4 In CHI: CHI 7 - NJ 2 GGs for the most part. 1st game was very close until nj got unlucky with two penalties right at the end of the game. As for the second game, the continual pausing of the game got a bit frustrating, and it ceased being fun after you effectively forfeited sometime in the 2nd period. GL with the rest of your games!

NOOOOO! Don'y delete meeeee! I only found out this evening that this league has started! I been traveling for the past two weeks. Just gimme a second chance coach, I'll do my best to catch up! and lets get the draft league going again!! woot!
