Cricket Leagues Feedback, Discussions & Announcements

I have squads at main post and fixtures and Tables on second. It looks convenient and neat.
 
Due to my 9th Final exams, I won't be able to be online much here on PC till 16th March i.e the day when my exams end.

It isn't that I won't be coming here at all but only for an hour a day. I'll do the lineups and comments in that stipulated time.
 
Is it only in my system or do all of you happen to notice 'left handed batsman' present for both the opening batsmen during the beginning of an innings (just before the sim starts to simulate an innings , when the two opening batsmen profiles are displayed) irrespective of whether you attributed them to RHB/LHB ??
 
Check this one out .. Bell is noway LHB , but still the sim displays Left Handed batsmen for both the batsmen . This happens for all opening batsmen . BTW this was taken from my Season 1 archive files when i was just a rookie , so it has nothing to do with the current ratings .

Oh yeah, it happens when you have the striker who is LHB the non-striker is also displayed as LHB. If the striker is is RHB then non striker also appears to be RHB.
 
Just another player selection i came up with the other day, pretty easy to understand and i can't see to many other problems with it. Anyway, it's like this,

Before this starts, every team in the league must be given a budget (of virtual money, not vcash), i'd say 5million, but it could be whatever.

1) All teams pm the manager of the league the squad that they would like.

2) The league manager sorts through the squads and finds any player clashes.

3) The player clashes are then posted in the thread, and managers of the teams involved in the player clashes send in bids via pm for each player they wanted that was involved in a clash, this is a silent bid, so no last minute bids. (NOTE, managers can opt out of bidding for a player if they want to) I'd suggest giving a 24-hour window for the bids to be sent in.

4) If a team does not have the maximum number of players in their squad, they can pick a 'free' agent to join their squad after the silent bidding has finished at a certain cost (I'd suggest 250,000).

5) The squads should soon be complete and it should only have taken a couple of days.

Obviously there are going to be certain players that everybody wants in their team, but this should encourage managers to pick players that they think other managers might not pick in order to save their budget for players that might cost more in a silent bid.

I'd like some Advice on whether this is a good idea and if people want to use it/make their own variations of it, go for it. Looking back, i should have used this in my league, the draft is taking ages because managers are inactive or people are leaving half way through.
 
Good to hear, there's only a few managers in my league who I can trust to be active and if you dropped out, it would be very hard to keep it going.
 
I did an auction for IPL and trust me it was brilliant. Requires a little extra effort on manager's part but, it is worth it. I understood it as there was also a draft for under 23 players. People kept on repeating the picks while some not picking right players.

The way you say is alright but I doubt it will take a couple of days. It could take longer than you or me feel. Auction is the best thing as you can run like 3 or 4 rounds simultaneously.
 
Maybe, but it depends on how quickly the managers send you the list of players they want, and their bids on the players involved in clashes. But if they do that quickly, i can't see it taking that long.
 
Yeah, that is the main thing. They take so long to post the lineups (not pointing at someone :p), I doubt they will bother with this for long.
 
Agreed, there are a lot of people who come on to this part of the forum, join a load of leagues, don't get the best players in their teams, lose a couple of games and go inactive.
 
Yeah, that is the main thing. They take so long to post the lineups (not pointing at someone ), I doubt they will bother with this for long.

I usually like it all to happen smoothly. I can't think anything when in a jiffy.
 
Nah, I wasn't intending anything at you. It was just a general thing, it wasn't a serious comment anyway.
