Global Premier League X

[CG123]

It turns out last season I was unbeaten on the two poor pitches and the two excellent pitches I played on, while I lost on two out of the seven normal pitches I played on.

Since I hate excellent pitches, I guess I'll go poor, even though I'd prefer normal because they produce much more realistic scores.

If there's any way I can have normal though, that would be appreciated.

Harris: Normal
Haarithan: Normal
Mohit: Normal
Sartaj: Excellent
Tarun:
Muhaiminul: Poor
Truman: Normal
Callum: Poor

Why not just have the home side pick the pitch they want?

 

[Sartaj]

That way,the away team may have to wait for the home team to post the pitch type which is sometimes annoying.

I'd prefer to choose pitch type based on opponents. This isn't a great idea.

It is. But I do that for the IETL and yes, sometimes it does hold things up but I think managers enjoy choosing the pitch type depending on the opponent. Also, sometimes if one type of pitch isn't working for you, you just choose a different one next time you have a home game.

This.

However it only implies for the first warmup round

 

[Iridium]

Why can't we just play whoever want?

 

[Dipak]

Because I feel that all lesser-known players should get a chance to showcase their talent.

There are player dues in the tournament also..

 

[Iridium]

Yea sure.
