Cricket Leagues - Feedback and Suggestions

I'm not averse to newbie starting up leagues, although I believe in that one league per member and this. I'd love to have things sorted out professionally though, and there being no overkill of the IPL or the other sort of leagues. Perhaps we need to be more creative with our ideas?

Just don't allow managers to start a league unless they've successfully completed one . 20/20 PRO , Rohit Doshi , Arjind are prime examples striking my mind . Also , don't allow managers to start a league who boast little experience in that section . Sorry for being the voice of doom newbies - but it's very tough to run one ! And obviously , the eradication of the non stop IPLs might be the solution regarding Hedger's comment .

For the best results , make me a STAFF MEMBER . :D (JKS)

20/20 PRO definitely won't be starting another one, he had like seven failed ones and I gave him one last chance and he said he's definitely going to finish it, but it failed in the drafts.
 
Keep it simple, allow one member to have 1 league at a time. If he fails to complete one then he should be given another chance, if he fails to complete this one as well, he shouldn't be allowed to start a league for 2 months. One thing that I hate is, whenever a new member starts a league, he will be discouraged by comments like, you cant start a league, gain some experience first and so on. This isn't the way to treat a newbie, your role is to guide him rather than discouraging him, newbies should be allowed to start a league. They will fail once but the second time around they should do well, only if they are creating a league for fun. It's important that you start a league for fun, if you don't have interest in your own league then it is not going to be a success.

And don't forget Rohit Doshi , I saw your VM conversations with him ... You really should have been more strict on him . :p

@ Aditya : Totally agree .

@ Varun : What's AWTA ?

These are my perspectives of newbies starting a new league :

ADVANTAGES :

1. Numerous number of leagues being opened up , which is a boost to the cricket leagues section for its gaining significant demand & interest .

DISADVANTAGES :

1. Leagues put into a full stop even before the blink of an eye citing various difficulties .
2. Most of the newbies ripping off the works of other league managers . Not blaming them at any cost .
3. Maximum success rate guaranteed - 20%
4. Most of these newbies just run leagues for league's sake . No pre-planned ideas , just run a league , and make a name for yourself .

I'm trying to be as honest as possible .

Agree with the Above.



Lol, I thought User was agreeing with Haarithan as to what AWTA meant, it went straight over my head that he actually posted what it did mean...

Ban 'newbies' from using SR's cricsim until they finish a season based on say C07 or some other PITA game/simulator. :p

LOL,just a wild suggestion.

A good suggestion imo. A guy named Sartaj did the same thing and he undoubtedly has become the most successful league manager on PlanetCricket. ;)

Any chance of another WPL?
 
You can't simply stop people from starting a league, but you can manage it. I would suggest 1 thread per member and for people opening numerous threads, just close them. If someone wants to start 7 different leagues in a month then as along as they keep it in the one thread idc.
 
While that sounds fair enough , you have to look at people like Iridium , who has been running 2 leagues at a time wonderfully well . That's what made me thinking about this rule . Anyways as long as it applies only to the newbies , its fine by me and inevitably everyone . :thumbs
 
LOL,not true.

Hey,picture this...
Have a common thread where 'they' can run their leagues.
Assign one post/slot in the first page to each of them to archive their matches/basically use as their index post.The thread is for posting updates and matches only.All the drafts/auctions can take place in the SGs.
If someone does a good job on a consistent basis,he can start his own thread and may be have his stuff from the common thread moved to the new one too.

Yes,there may be some confusion running 3-4 leagues in the same thread but it's negligible if the stuff is properly archived.
