This is Brilliant! I played my game last night vs BloodReaper and had pings of 60.
I highly encourage the use of this server, and thank the Bugman for his efforts!

Pro Bowl!
Nominations are now open. The Pro Bowl page is here.
Some points.
- Veterans players are to be nominated from current fringe players that have previously played in the SWL. We will check this manually and send Claudia to take out any rogue fringer's trying to sneak in underservedly.
- Nominate your players to take the spot you'd like to see them fill. So if you have a mummy that you'd think would make a good blitzer, go and nominate him as a blitzer. Only really strict position is the Big Guy. He really ought to be a Big Guy.
- Don't nominate your player for more than one position. Pick the position you think he'd be best in and nominate him once only. We'll delete any further nominations. This saves a player from getting selected for two positions in the voting process.
- Coach nominations do not include last season's probowl coaches. ie. Clay, Neverborn, Covertfun adn Ozjesting. We'll delete these if they do happen to be nominated.
Many thanks to Theopacman for being my experimental guinea pig for the web pages 
Enjoy!
Cheers,
Snorri. |

While it is indeed helpful for those who still need it...and many thanks are due to those who brought it about...the term "highly encourage the use of this server" should REALLY be changed to "I highly encourage people to learn how to, and then implement the use of, DIRECT CONNECTION!!! Until then please use this proxy which is better then the current one...but STILL not as effective as DIRECT CONNECT!"
But big cheers boys! Always nice to see the community doing what it can to support and aid it's own! Well Done!!! |

SWL Bowl
WIth oz's help, have made some further modifications to the swl version of the javabb client. Oz's pac man sound pack is included, as well as some improvements hacks to the graphical elements in the interface and a few custom decals for BH/SI/RIP's.
If you're interested, here is a screenshot and here is the download.
The download is about 7.8 megs and incorporates the full 8.4 version. Just unzip the file somewhere (not on top of an existing client) just as you would as if you were installing skijunkie's client fresh.
Enjoy!

<b>Season 11 Update</b>
The SWL Main Page has been updated with indicative standings pending the last few games to be played.
At the bottom of the page is the "Score" column.
If you are a 1, you are in the Season 11 Premier... Congratulations
If you are scored as 20, you are in the Conference with a TR cap of 200.
If you are a 30, you are in the Regional with a TR cap of 150
Teams who are 666 are being retired or their coaches have been retired to the Fringe...
Add to these lists are the Season 11 Draftees of new TR100 teams who are:
ClayInfinity (yes, me)
Nalavara
Shatterstar
Atraxerxes
southee
Espionage.
Anyone else has very little time to get into the Draft for next season.
Season 11 is planning to start mid August.
Any questions, issues etc, please email the admins.
Clay
edit: These seedings are only indicative and do depend on last round results in some instances. Do not physically cull teams until you are told to! |

SWL Season 11 Draft Results
The following Draft Results are in. All coaches, please submit a new TR100 Div[U] team of the race you have been given by Wed 10 August.
Nalavara: Rotters
ClayInfinity: Chaos
Espionage: Ogres
Southee: Wood Elf
Shatterstar: Pro Elves
Artraxerxes: Lizardmen
Just to explain how it works, we only allow 16 max races in each of the Rock, Scissors, Paper. Also, we only allow 3 teams per race. By randomly selecting coaches in order, each coach's list is consulted to find the first race available given those categories. The reason I am explaining this is that for some of the above Draftee's I had to delve down the lists a fair way...
Also, by nominating as a new team, you are entitled to restart your team once in your inaugural season if you get SEVERELY trashed. You need to consult admins before this is allowed... and we mean SEVERELY
Good luck to the new teams (particularly mine hehe!) and good luck to all coaches in Season 11... New season will be starting on 15 August |

Gee Wiz... Lizardmen hey, my lucky 13th choice. Glad I didn't stop my selections at a favourite dozen or I would have missed the boat all together it seems. Still, glad to be finally part of the real action. See you all on the field with my pet reptiles... |

<b>Regional / Conference Movements</b>
Unfortunately, Dark_Lord has announced that due to a long overseas trip, he will be skipping Season 11 and will return in Season 12. This has meant that his side the Creepers are dropped from the Conference League.
The next best team in the Regionals is therefore danielcollins' 33 Chin Chen Street and they are currently in line for a Conference spot.
Please note however, that you SHOULD NOT cull your sides to make TR caps until the draw has been done. Late pull outs like this for instance can mean your team gets promoted and you may have perhaps squandered a few valuable players...
The 1-20-30 gradings in the SWL Main Page are not permanent...
Also, I do appreciate the email Dark_Lord, much better than you just disappearing...
Also, on a positive front, old SWL coach Wallace is about and keen on some Fringe play this coming season... He's been missing for about 2-3 seasons, so welcome back mate |

<b>Late Draft Inclusion</b>
Whiteknight who has been about the Fringe lately has asked to play next season but has only had a choice of Rotters, Zons or Vamps due to our racial restrictions...
He has taken Rotters...
