Player Skills Allocations

[MattW]

After some long experiments with Cricsim, I have determined the formula for the allocation of averages.

They are based on pre-allocated averages for each particular type, as well as a skill point system for adjusting these - with effects varying depending on the type of player.

Each player has 5 skill points to modify from the base, the star player will have 10 points, and the captain may distribute a further 5 points among the team.

Values are assigned the same way to both 4 Day and 35 over matches, but the starting points are different.

Extra skill points will be awarded to each winning team, 2 skill points for a 35 over victory, and 4 for a 4 day victory. In addition, there will be a way to earn skill points during bye weeks, as well as lose skill points based on performance and posting.

After drafting is completed, a list of each player, their designated type and skill points

Types are the following:


So for example you'd write:

MattW (Pure Bowler) - BAT: r (+0), BOWL: f (+5)

To make a Right Handed batsman, Right Arm Fast bowler with 5 skill points added to my bowling. In addition it would be helpful to write the username first with preferred name in brackets - as mentioned elsewhere it's much easier to use usernames (except when it's easy to make the connection or it is in your AKA). Also add 'Batsman', 'Bat All', 'Keeper', 'Pure All', 'Bowl All' or 'Pure Bowl' to designate original type.

A team list in this format will be needed shortly after the draft. Changes to defaults can only be made in the mid season break.

Sounds good.

I wonder how this works:

we will have discussion and annouce the decision

Do you want us to write anywhere what the player type originally is?
i.e. batsman, bowler, keeper, batting AR, bowling AR, genuine AR

For example:

MattW (batsman) - BAT: r (+0), BOWL: f (+5)

Or are you already going to have that listed?

It should be pretty obvious from how you've allocated your points. See the first post of our thread for an example.

 

[CG123]

Ok. Still it might not be though, because for a genuine AR it's more than likely going to be a 2/3 or a 3/2 split, which would be possibly the same as a bowling AR and a batting AR respectively.

 

[barmyarmy]

I did consider 4-1 and 1-4 but I've gone with 3-2 2-3 for now. Bowling is generally more important in cricsim so I might make my bowling A/Rs 1-4.

Surely you also need to know player type which that format doesn't include? Cross-referencing them all would be a total hassle.

 

[MattW]

Yes - that's quite possibly important.

 

[Fenil]

Sounds really exciting and good.

 

[HawkAussie]

Sounds good

They are based on pre-allocated averages for each particular type

Have you listed the batting, genuine (if you like) and bowling allrounders as separate types or do they fall in a common AR category?
