PC: T20 Blast Tournament - Series 1 - (Round 2)

[Lebanna]

I've not had a chance to look at the spreadsheet yet. I'll have a look tonight once SamP has updated it with all the players brought. So I'll probably send my bids in either late tonight or tomorrow morning.

On a different note:

Someone mentioned a few pages back about stat tracking. For the last couple of IPL tournaments I've been tracking the stats. I've attached the spreadsheet from IPL 2013. Its not perfect and there are a couple of errors that are fixed in the next version (for this years IPL), but the only one that is really noticeable is that the stat comparisons are inclusive of the knockout stage which it really shouldn't.

If you like it I can redo something similar for out tournament. If I do though it will need a commitment to get a SS of the full scorecards (bowling & batting) of each match.

The second spreadsheet is something I do for fun when following matches. It just tracks the RR after each over and compares the two innings at most stages. It just gives a good feel for how the match progressed, where the turning points were etc. The one attached is Ireland's recent T20 victory over WI.

I'll be using the RR tracker for most of my matches because well I'm just a touch sad, but if it was to be used for most matches and I made the stat spreadsheet for the whole tournament then I could link each match to the RR spreadsheets so giving a whole tournament coverage. That said I do appreciate that not a lot of people would have the patience to fill in a spreadsheet while playing a game...I'm weird like that!

Given that SamP is putting a heck of a lot of effort into setting up this tournament, I'd love to have something for him at least to look back on with pride!

In the event that... :

Two managers were joint on bids in the previous round, if either of those players gets the highest bid this round they win that player.

One manager was the highest bidder on a player in the previous round but gets a joint bid in this round, the manager gets the player.

Two managers were joint in bids in the previous round and joint on highest bids at the end of this round, neither manager gets the player.

Will we know if we don't have enough players going into the last private round?

Will we know if we don't have enough players going into the last private round?

If you mean at the end of the private rounds then yes because it will still be announced when you've won a player just not when you've got the highest bid .

On that note, remember this is the final public round!

@mazd your team is shaping up quite nicely. Awesome picks.

All thanks to Sir, @ethybubs. He has been real helpful.

All thanks to Sir, @ethybubs. He has been real helpful.

Just make sure you don't overspend .

 

[mazd]

I think we have the situation under control as of now.

 

[AngryPixel]

Yeah. I did some calculation and mazd could be in some sort of trouble to complete his squad if he goes after some expensive player now. He still has to buy 9 more playrer that is effectively 58000 per player. So International players are now out of the question. He need to buy english player only.
