I have Version 2.00, dated 11/22/88. There is a SHAREWARE version, available for a small fee ($35) from the author and a more capable version for very large leagues. The SHAREWARE version is limited on the number of games that can be scheduled (1 or 2 hundred as I recall), but handles multiple small leagues, multiple arenas, and both repeating and varying available time slots. Time slots can be specified at the conference, division, and team levels. It would make your 6-10 team league quite easy to do. The SHAREWARE version is not sufficient for the 45 team 400+ game conference that I schedule. I find that interlocking leagues are possible to do, but awkward and that the schedule produced is not random enough. The program has a perverted sense of home arena, and is not sufficient in that respect for the above mentioned conference, but will do for most cases. There is a BBS available for registered users. The author's address is Hugh Martin 120 fence Post Court Fountain, CO 80817 (If there is interest, I can upload the overview that comes with the shareware version).
