Dutchad planted a seed in my mind. Would anyone be interested in creating a web page here or elsewhere, that acts as a update-able Tournament page?
Since AC09 only starts tournaments at the quarter finals, it would be great if we had a tool that allows us to start any tournament (World Cup, Champions Trophy, IPL) and updates the tables as you go through. Once you determine who is in the quarter finals, you could then use AC09 from that point on.
Here's what would be required:
The Human would have to:
This means that for any game before the quarter finals, the human would simply play single match games on AC09 and update the web page as they progress through the tournament.
The web page would update by:
Once you know who is in the quarter finals, you just take it from there with AC09's tournament that starts at the quarter finals.
If a user-friendly web page like this was designed, I think it would be a lot of fun and would provide a kind of "Tournament Expansion Pack". Yes it would mean quitting out of AC09 after single matches (or a few single matches) to update the web page with results, but that's a small price to pay I think.
I know nothing about creating something like this, but would love to be involved if anyone is interested. Otherwise, I might have to PM Dutchad to ask him for his Excel file! :laugh

The Human would have to:
- Select the type of tournament (World Cup, Champions Trophy ect.)
- Add all the teams involved
- Post the results (total runs and number of overs)
This means that for any game before the quarter finals, the human would simply play single match games on AC09 and update the web page as they progress through the tournament.
The web page would update by:
- Showing points tables and calculating net run rates
- Having the right teams in the right tables (e.g. Group A, Group B - depending on the tournament)
- Telling you when and what the next fixtures should be (i.e. Today's matches: Sri Lanka vs. England; West Indies vs. India ect.)
- Telling us what the quarter final matches will be, after all the Group fixtures are done
