It's that time of year again.. think you can pick the winners in each round? Think you know which series will be an upset? Who's going to win it all?!? Now's your chance to prove it!

These types of resources are awesome. I would make a nice chart (no logos), and shrink it down to playing card size and have them printed in packs of playing cards. I have a site that I've used for this with great success often for $9.99 with free shipping.

You definitely need to pixel down a pic of your face like Ron Barr, though the mouse-drawn MSPaint version does capture something...

3 things to consider: I think you could allow both, allow for a coinflip winner to choose the tier - or leave it to a dice roll Make the dice roll simply a guide, do not enforce it as a "rule" I really think the bottom tier should not be included in the dice roll - create 6 tiers that exclude OTT/SJ/FLA/ANA. Maybe put TB in the 6th tier With regards to these ideas, I just would hate to see a deciding game roll a "6" and have to watch an important game decided by shitty teams because of "rules".

Here's a rom beta: 7/8/10 min periods, 99min OT Menu changed to H2H, 7min, Penalties-on - Except Offsides, Line change-on SuperClassic-BETA1.bin

If you need numbers, I'm willing to play it out. But 10 min periods is a stretch for me too. I get it though, if you want to force people to use the other lines - 5min periods is not enough. Maybe shorten the schedule to H/A within your division, and alternate H/A with inter-divisional games?

I'd love to see stream/video of the #7 LAK (LeifErikson) vs #10 NYR (spaceGhost9) series.

I'm available for RBI exis just like I am for 94, evenings (after 9pm) and weekends (all day). What are your availabilities?

Mark me down for tourney and exis.

I would add Aqualizard and Brutus to the list as well. But yes, if added to the list I would vote for Halifax for all of his tournaments involvement and fantastic social media presence.

I've seen this and similar leagues before - just never been that interested in the daily activity requirements. Always liked the Sim GM games, where you act as GM/coach signing and trading players. Started with one called SIMHL, totally addicting. The site is still around, but has been hilariously locked on the same rosters and players from the early 2000's. Recently, I've been playing hockey.zengm.com . It's a good sim, that let's you play out entire seasons in about 30mins. No NHL licence, the teams/players are all fictional. You get to select your team (easy/med/hard all based on your city's population), and randomly assigned a group of players. You get to decide whether to add to it, or tear it down. Free agents, rookie drafts it's all there, super fun.

WTG Brutus, and thanks for running the league! Love WBF leagues, and thought the draft was unique.

I guess I just assumed that there would be one from @aqualizard?!?

Wow, lucky draw. I'll take Super Mario's Penguins.

Yep, honorary Canadian. Give him his Tim Hortons travel mug, two-four of Molson Canadian, and the Trailer Park Boys DVD set. If he gets past the 6 month probationary period, he'll get his Shania Twain fan-club membership and top secret poutine recipe.

One thing I always tried when playing against the CPU (NHL94 and 95) was to avoid using speed-burst. It's the biggest advantage you have over the CPU. Forces you to play better positionally.

I know I've signed up for GENS, can you also mark me down for SNES (preferrably in a 'B' league, unless you are running it as one league).

I've told this story before.. but there was a computer shop growing up that used to rent PC games, you signed an agreement to uninstall/delete when you returned the game. It was a real chore to install these games back then - 8-10 floppy disks needed to be swapped in order to install. Here's the PC requirements at the time:

In tournament play, couldn't you just "not count" the glitch goal in the final reported score? I wouldn't waste the gametime for a freebie. This is also where the game should be paused, and a decision made by a ref/judge. No one player should decide how to proceed.

Good sportsmanship should always prevail, if you didn't earn the goal - you should give it back. This should be the way it is played in league or tournament play IMO. If you are playing exis, or just for fun - if you plan to play any other way (any goal counts), it should be agreed to beforehand ie. House Rules.

I want a documentary!

Just wait until you figure out how to create retro leagues on NHL94PC, or figure out how to re-create the jerseys with a better palette of colours and actual logos!

Hotel breakfast was pretty standard. Unless there is a kitchen/dining room attached, the food is prepackaged and reheated in a microwave.

Nah, I ate there too and it was fine.
