Simplifying the future...

Current Version

V1.00 - Projected Release Date December 1st, 2008.




Overview

A complete window's based front-end for Bethesda's Hockey League Simulator II (HLS2), simplifying most of the tasks of running an online league.

Assistant Commissioner will reduce the time it takes to run an online league. Imagine the trading of players being done in seconds or updating entire league ratings done by selecting the updated text file.

Instead of spending hours at the start of each new season, seconds are needed to update all the information.

There are a total of ten add-on utilities to help in the management of a league. (See Features)
