Cricket Leagues - Feedback and Suggestions

Callum, can you fix all the links on the index page of the APL that you so kindly changed earlier.

Haha, did I actually stuff something up for you? I'm not sure if you're being serious or joking.

I just went through and added Indian to all of the titles, if you're being serious I'm pretty sure that I didn't change anything in the actual threads.

All of the links go to iplplanet.com, which is pretty inconvenient

Oh, haha, tbh I had no idea that was happening. I came on and it kept on logging me out straight away.

I just went on the post history and copied what it was before I edited it, is it all good now?

Same situation in my league.

mine too, but i guess as long as the links still open to what they are supposed to open to.

 

[CG123]

I fixed yours Riz, Meet seems to have fixed his himself.

For those who run the leagues and have to resize the pictures every now and then, I've found a good website. There is no need to register and its to use. It gives a lot of options from resizing, using several types of brush, adding frame and plenty other tools.

I've updated this post a bit to help those who've run nation based leagues. I had done a bit of a research whilst doing the OPL ratings and wanted to update it, but I forgot. I would be happy if someone puts this in the first post or something.

I lol'd when I first saw that post 'cause you have de Villiers as legendary but not Ponting. Should be the other way around.

I've edited it into second post in the support and advice thread, which actually happens to already be your post.

Obviously it'll be useful for people when they first start a league, but people should be looking to come up with their own rating system when they become more experienced.

And while Ponting is a legend, he should no longer really be considered in the top bracket of ODI batsmen, considering this year he averaged 3.6 in five innings before being dropped.

I would like to put up an issue here which not many but a few league owners are facing, especially me. The thing I wanna discuss is the role of team managers in the league. It's so crucial. The problem is their inactivity. I don't think that I'm doing something wrong in my DPL because of which their activity has been no more (These managers post in other leagues so its incorrect to consider that they are busy). The team managers should understand their proper role in the league. Their comments on their team's performance, posting of lineups on time, etc matters a lot for the welfare of the league. I'm doing my level best on presentation, ratings, etc in DPL but still I'm not getting the response as expected. Can anybody tell me WHY?

I'm not sure what you've tried already, but your best bet would be to give them a VM just making sure that they actually want to continue in the league. If they do you should tell them what you expect of them, i.e. at least one post in the thread after each of their matches, or something alone those lines. If they say they want to be apart of the league, but still continue to be inactive even after you've "warned" them, then just kick them out, and post their names here so others can avoid having future problems with those mangers. If they say they no longer want to be apart of the league straight away, then just manage the team yourself until the end of the season, and find some new managers to replace them between seasons (if you're planning to continue on with the league). Since you're already over halfway through the season, I wouldn't bother trying to find any new mangers now, and instead just deduct the now manageress teams some points to ensure that they don't make the finals series. I know how frustrated you'd be because managers are even more crucial to a five team league, compered to eight to ten team leagues where people can probably get away with being not very active.

Even though it might be slight downgrading not having a great deal of activity in your thread, just make sure that you're enjoying running the league, because at the end of the day that's all that should matter.

Yeah, enjoying is the most important part. We can't do much as managers and can just hope people will take care of their teams. VMs are the way to go. But, don't make them a habit. I know how frustrating it can get but, just remind them once. As far as posting in the thread goes, we can't really force them. Their wish, they post, it's alright, they don't it's good that way too. Don't be too bothered and enjoy the league, that's what I tend to do.

I am planning to use Cricket Heroes for this edition of CL. As it is in the developing stages, there ought to be minor bugs. But, not those as in CS (like the no ball bug). I would like to know what people feel. As it is CL, should I use it? Or, would it be better for me to run another league with it and have CL running with CS?
