Abstract: This version of HOCKEY is designed to simulate almost every facet of the game. To start, the rink was divided into 24 zones with an odd~ven numbering scheme. This allowed control and monitoring throughout the program. Because of this system, icing, offside passes, and passing could be built in. Icing and offsides are checked by differences in zones. Passing is based on a probability of completing a pass, depending upon whether it is a long or short pass, or whether it is a lateral or back pass.

Restrictions: This program was written for use on a Univac 1110 computer, and will require modification for use on most other versions of BASIC. There are approximately 350 lines of code.
