Matches Posted British and Irish Confederation of Nations - BRITISH CHAMPIONSHIPS 2002

[Welwyn]

Cricket Ireland is also delighted to announce the formation of the British and Irish Confederation of Nations (henceforth referred to as "BAICON"). This Confederation will be responsible for organising regional Championships among its member nations, as well as a regional Champions Cup to crown the region's leading domestic team. Membership will be granted automatically to the following countries, upon formation of their Cricket Boards:​

• England
• Guernsey
• Jersey
• Mann
• Northern Ireland
• Republic of Ireland
• Scotland
• Wales

Further details to follow when further members join.​

Although it is too late for the 1999 domestic season, Cricket Ireland would like to table a motion that from the 2000 season onwards, players from BAICON countries count as local players in the domestic series of other BAICON countries. This should hopefully also help national managers who might not necessarily want to run entire domestic series. @Na Maloom Afraad (England) and @Neptune (Guernsey), how would you feel about this?

 

[Na Maloom Afraad]

I'm all for it, I was going to have non-existing overseas players from countries that can't run their own domestic cricket in my county system anyway. May as well extend that gesture to BAICON nations and increase their player pools too.

You'd be welcome to sign some of our already-present players as well - there's interesting storyline potential

 

[Neptune]

@Neptune (Guernsey), how would you feel about this?

Up for it, maybe in a season or two when the players database is firmly in place we can easily send a bunch of players to each other and really make the domestic competitions more interesting

 

[Welwyn]

Should we be thinking of resetting this up now we have a Scotland & an England:

@Neptune @Supreme General @LordTiger?

Removing the Ireland though.

Is it like a sub-confederation to EUROCON or different?

 

[Welwyn]

It would be, but presuming that we are still allowed in the Europe one too (can't see why not, as it's true in real life & a bit like being in Europe & the Commonwealth).

 

[LordTiger]

Yeah. Would be similar to SAFF and AFC in football.

It would 100% be allowed as a sub-confederation under EUROCON, as long as you guys can find somebody to run it.

We will create an East Oceanian Nations Confederation which includes 4 countries from east Oceania (Marshall Islands, Vanuatu, New Zealand, Niue). Infinite matches glitch

You can try

All confederations need to be approved by me before they are considered 'officially recognized' by the league.

 

[Neptune]

Sure, is there any specific plans for how we will use this though? Going to be hard to find room in the intl calendar.

 

[Welwyn]

I will be happy to run it, will just need to work out it's purpose within the overall calendar.

 

[LordTiger]

We can have a few things.
- an international tournament. maybe BAICON Championship. Held annually or every two or four years. we may decide together. could be both formats. or even T20Is. since we will have them from Commonwealth games.
- and maybe a club tournament.
I can help with simulations.
