Hi guys, there has been some real lack of speed lately, and I do apologise, mid years typically cause a little bit of distraction. I'm very sorry for all delays so far, as soon as India v Australia is completed things will hopefully be running smoothly again.

However, a big announcement is posted below:

NEW TOURNAMENT FORMAT​

I am writing this to inform all managers of a new tournament format. Because of the obvious advantage of the teams batting second, and the fact that scores in excess of 400 are being posted and chased down, the tournament will now be played in a different and revolutionary way:

From now on, all managers will be required to play 50 overs at the same time, will not post any updates on them, and upon conclusion will PM me their scores with an attached screenshot of the scorecard, and the mch file. The team that has scored the highest score, with no knowledge of the other side's score, will win that match. This will prove a much fairer system, both sides will have the opportunity to select their own sides (although restrictions will be placed on this for fairness) and we will have no disadvantages to the team batting first.

The restrictions for teams selected are as follows:
A maximum of 7 pure batsmen per side (including a Wicket Keeper).
A maximum of 2 All-Rounders per side.
A minimum of 3 pure bowlers, and one All-Rounder per side.
A minimum of 1 wicketkeeper per side.

This will ensure that no managers are picking the best batting side possible because they are obviously not bowling. 11 pure bats would be unfair. Anyone who breaks these rules will forfeit the appropraite match. All rules are as per the player types shown in the roster that is required for the tournament.

All pitches will be dusty as in the real life pitches during the West Indies WC and all venues will remain Barbados.

This will eliminate the need for individual match threads, so all matches updates and such will occur in here, as I will be announcing all match results.

The 3 day limit will still apply. New matches will begin on Friday and will continue to begin every Friday in order to give all players the weekend to play.

Everything fine, but chasing scores without knowing target that rule is not fine, i always play my part in continues 3 hours, so peoples should also has to play like it 3 hours has to be given to them to chase down the score the time they decide, and team batting 2nd dont have always advantage, sometimes when have to chase down high scores, the field spread in quick time
