PCPL - Discussion Thread (All Owners READ!!)

[sohum]

It's only due to the expansion of the tournament, I hope you realise that. We'll see what we can come up with.

It would be better to adjust the values of the internationals, I think, based on their real field performance. There were probably plenty of internationals who were rated high but did not perform on the Twenty20 field.

Alternatively, you could do what the NBA and other North American sports do with an 'expansion draft'. Essentially, each team is allowed to protect a certain number of players from the team (I believe it was 8 for the NBA, most recently). The expansion teams then take turns picking from the eligible players on the other teams. They can only pick up one player from any given team. I'm not sure if there are other restrictions... you can read about them online.

To protect the investments that teams made last year, I would suggest a similar expansion system. I am going to assume that each team has 3 internationals (right?). So let each team have the right to protect 2 internationals. The two expansion teams then need to come back up to par and pick up to 3 internationals themselves, or until the players run out.

We want our money back.. We dint pay 3.5 mn for the internationals for just one season. How do you suppose we can keep magically conjuring up vcash to keep up with this PCPL business??
We pay for the team, we pay for the international players, then we again pay for the internationals!! this is reoccurring, and unneeded.

Well if you had been clever like the Toronto Tanks then you wouldn't be n such problems.

 

[Abhas]

If things were clear from the offset, there wouldn't have been any problems either.. :

We want our money back :

Yes. Just transfer it back. Surely you should have a record that shows who paid how much?

 

[Abhas]

Ofcourse.. We all know how much each player was bought for. I suggest return the teams that amount, and do a fresh bid with all the players.

This way, all the teams have a fair chance in the bidding.

Simon, comeon, you're rich enough already!

 

[Mad Snake]

I like the idea of new auctioning of the internationals, but does sound a bit rough on those who forked out their hard earned cash

 

[Simbazz]

Personally it's our decision, I do however like Sohum's idea. Rhys and I will discuss.

 

[w3lshrugby]

We are going to implement Sohum's idea, as suggested above by sohum , as our solution for the internationals due to the expansion of PCPL (thanks for the suggestion sohum). We'll work on how it will function over the coming weeks, with further news in February.

 

[Ollie_H]

Why dont you just make it 2010 then!

 

[Simbazz]

huh? What you going on about Ollie?

 

[Dr. Pepper]

He's saying you're postponing it for too long...

 

[Simbazz]

Unfortunately, we cannot start until the PCCL is over.

Also, we can't start till my Uni exams are done
