Cricket Leagues - Feedback and Suggestions

[venkniralac]

all of you please notice that my league & I will be inactive from 18-29 May due to vacation

Just wanting to gauge interest in this idea:

I think it could be bigger than any other league we've had except probably the WPL, but I'll need active managers so I was wondering who would participate if I did start it.

To add a bit more about it, using ICC should allow me to get realism pretty accurate (I'll take into account where the matches were played and other similar factors to get a rather standardised rating). It'll also allow you to put in more advanced orders, such as bowling order, nightwatchmen, protecting strike, enforcing follow on, declaring, etc.

Yea I'd be keen for it. Do you absolutely have to have 16 teams, though?

 

[Chewie]

Well the more the better. I reckon there is definitely enough talent for that many teams, and it'll test people's ability to find players. On CW they have 16 and on Cricsim they have 22 and looking to expand it. I wouldn't go any less than 14.

(This is based on the premier leagues over there. Going to be slightly different in that I'm using a different sim and don't actually have a programme calculating the averages though)

 

[Iridium]

That's a good point.

What sim do they use on CW?

 

[Chewie]

International Test Cricket/Internet Test Cricket (They're the same thing). It's what bcvs used in his WWIII league. I don't own it so I can't use it, and I don't really want to pay for it. As well as that the trial doesn't work on x64 systems

 

[Dipak]

It's a noobish question but what's CW?

 

[Haarithan]

CricketWeb.

 

[Prats]

I would also surely participate in that, Chewie.

 

[Varun]

I'm interested for sure.

 

[Dipak]

Mee too!

 

[Bhargav]

me too!

 

[Haarithan]

I'll fill up if you run short of managers which you most probably won't. Btw how does your squad selection work - Auctions or drafts?

 

[AbhishekS]

In case if you missed it,

Thinking about running a FC championship using ICC2010 as the sim. Would have a lot of teams (16 maybe) and potentially have an ordered draft to keep things fair. Ratings would be completely based on FC performance so players don't necessarily need to have done well at test level or have even played at test level before.

 

[Haarithan]

Yea thanks for that.
