Cricket League of the Month
August​

This is a competition made for encouragement and dedication to the hard work done by the organizers of cricket leagues on PC.net.

Candidate Leagues
All the leagues are chosen by me but there's a great chance of me missing some really good leagues, that's why, if I missed, then sign your league up. The leagues chosen by me can by found on post#4.

Participating Rules
The rules that should be followed by the members before participating are:​

• Most of the matches should be played in the month of the competition
• The sign-ups are open for only 3 days.
• The league must be completed or should be near the end.

Voting Rules
Each member who is a part of this section of the web forums is requested to vote. The voting rules are as follows:​

• There is going to be a poll posted after all the leagues are signed-up, vote in the poll.
• Multiple votes are not allowed so vote wisely.
• The managers who have organized the league(s) that are signed-up are allowed to vote but for others only
• If an organizer is found voting his own league then he and his league will be disqualified
• Do have a look at the leagues before voting, league links given on post#4
• The voting will last only a couple of weeks after the poll is placed

Prizes
There are no prizes for the first month as it's just a start. If it gains enough popularity then the prizes would be given.​

I am confused

Surely it should be a panel, bearing in mind you have only been active on this leagues section for a small period of time (no offence) . Personally I think it should be someone like @The Author and @VC the slogger as they have been active on this leagues section for a very long time.

 

[Ahmad94]

A panel for what? Choosing the winner? There's gonna be a poll placed, and the users would choose the winner by voting for the best league.

Regardless, most months will be won by either VC or The Author, bearing in mind the amount of work they put in. For example, I put in about 5-10 minutes a day (if that) on my league. Whereas, VC definitely spends way longer; the amount of work he does on stats alone is unbelievable. Personally, I don't think this is a very good idea as the "title" will most likely be won by the same few managers everytime.

Edit: Reference , no-one has done anything of that standard yet.

I agree. The amount of work both VC and The Author put in, not just in presentation or stats, but also to perfect the ratings is quite incredible.

Count me out. Never been a fan of the League of the Month thingy.

It's not a great deal longer than yours, except for days when I have to calculate stats. That adds an extra 10 minutes or so, although I can say the CWG with 20 teams took a little longer than the usual.

Those looked a lot better back in the day when we had a VBulletin theme. I reckon the XenForo one will be easier to do because of the RichText Editor, so I guess I can add a few more categories next time.

I doubt I'll make it. I'm too damn slow to complete any league within a month.

 

[Umair7]

What's so confusing?

You joined the site in 2012 but you remember 2010 o.O

 

[Ahmad94]

Either way, I am not a fan of the idea.

@Ahmad94. The leagues are chosen monthwise. All the leagues that are/were held in August are nominated no matter how bad or good they are, if they are according to the rules then they will be picked. There's no need for any panel. If you guys aren't interested then I would consider deleting this thread, this was made to encourage and motivate league organizers so they don't loose interest. I've seen a few forums die and it feels terrible. I don't want this to happen here.

Personally, I am not fond of the idea. Admittedly, this section has decreased in activity since when I originally joined. It used to be the most active part of the forum back about a year or more ago.

To your point, I don't think it will affect the interest of managers. If anything, might even demoralize some of the newer managers if their league gets no votes at all.

However, if you feel like it is a good idea I am not going to get in the way. Good Luck with it, and I hope it is a success if you plan to run this

Okay, I have a few issues with this.

• First of all, there's nothing about career leagues that makes them any less eligible than other kinds of leagues. There were a couple of months when Badvintage's PC United league was the best thing on the forum.
• Second of all, there's no point in this if it's just chosen by one person.
• Third of all, there's even less point in it being chosen by someone who's only been active on this forum for about a month.
• Fourth of all, there's no prestige to this without the right people involved.
• Fifth of all, how can you remember 2010 if you registered in 2012? Me sniffs a double account.

You've got to give this kind of thing a bit of thought before you try to implement it.

***

If I was to attempt to run something like this, I'd start by getting a panel of three together, for example, myself, @VC the slogger and Aggz - largely at random.

Every month, the panellists would nominate their three favourite leagues for the month, and they would not be able to nominate their own. Any league with two nominations would then go into the short-list, before a public vote for the winner.

But frankly, I don't think your standing is such that you can run this with any credibility at all. Not yet.

 

[Ahmad94]

^^Seconded. Also quite like the idea of a panel selecting their 3 favourite leagues, making it unbiased .

 

[Ahmad94]

Do whatever you like.

Dude, I used to come to this site as a guest, that's why I remember + the cricket league and announcement thread is made by CG123, I was looking at his profile and the threads he made, I saw his thread, that gave me the idea. By the way, I was a guest at pc.net for about 5-6 years, I know people that are no longer active on this forum.

Regardless, if you want to start it, go for it.

I was clicking on the Cricket Leagues Announcement thread but accedently, clicked on his profile and then went deep into it.

It's just like I fell in a tunnel and found that there was a fairyland in there, kept on exploring!

Hmm... you broke onto his profile on 2010 when the forum had vBulletin? o.O FYI at that time, guests could not access to member accounts as far as I know..

btw, it is accidentally, not accidently :/

btw, it is "in 2010" not "on 2010". Lets not get picky about people's grammar otherwise we will be here for ever. :/

The point is if you have the planning and are prepared to adjust your methods slightly, you should go forward with this idea. Maybe add an extra category for "Best newbie league" or something like that.

Wouldn't wanna start it with a lot of critisim and disinterest by the members. I'd rather make a panel and start it or never start.
