This is the thread for the Minnow Online Trophy (PC only), much like the Online Trophy but in this tournament you have to play as one of the minnows.

UPDATE


The tournament will start on friday (30th March) you will have 3 days to complete a fixture, and the two players will have to arrange this between them, then both post the result and a screenshot of the scorecard on the forum, the matches will be 20 overs on test difficulty, with balanced settings.

[Leicester Fox]

bit harsh to class Bangladesh as a minnow I'll play as bermuda so long as it doesn't clash with my other tournament

 

[ChorleyBlue]

I'll be Canada then.

Just so you guys know, if you play in balanced mode all the teams are of roughly equal performance.

 

[Leicester Fox]

balanced mode seems boring though,it's not as realistic

 

[Kev]

OK, when you are playing against the AI its not realistic but when you are playing an online tournament its great as everyone has an even chance of winning the world cup (not just Ireland ) Players will still have their attributes (ie Brett Lee will still be bloody fast) but the teams are just levelled out a bit.

 

[Leicester Fox]

Ok i guess we'll see what everybody thinks, I just want playing as leverock to be as realistic as possible

 

[The_gas]

Its a good idea, but this wont be implemented in my trophy.

Although, saying that i am england, maybe i should.

 

[AFlintoff]

I'll be Scotland.

Ok i guess we'll see what everybody thinks, I just want playing as leverock to be as realistic as possible

what you want to take an amazing catch and some wickets

 

[Saltires]

Got to say that with Bangladesh having test status and all its a bit harsh to play them in a tournament against minnows!!!

Im surprised that Kenya aren't picked yet, but Im too busy to join

 

[Work Horse]

Is this on the Xbox 360? If so i'll be Kenya.

 

[Leicester Fox]

I thought it was PC,if it isn't then i can't participate

 

[tommymac]

Updated! no sorry PC only, i should've stated, the balanced mode sounds good, and will probably be used unless people prefer not to?

Thanks to everyone who's applied, is there anyone who would like to help run it?

 

[ChorleyBlue]

cant do it

not getting it for PC
