This would be an excellent system but as SouthSwans said there is really no point this season. Next season where players could have extra points to their averages that system you suggested would work alot better.

Yep @|

Is what you just suggested meaning bonus points on the averages like the BF league? I love that idea.

+3 on batting average for leading run scorer at the end of the season
+1 on batting average for a hundred
-1 on batting average for a duck

-3 on bowling average for leading wicket taker at the end of the season
-1 on bowling average for a 5fa (or 6fa maybe)
+1 on bowling average for a +4.5 eco rate at the end of the season (Tests), +6 (ODs)
-1 on bowling average for a -2 eco rate at the end of the season (Tests), -2.8 (ODs)

and likewise for bowlers.

Of course it's not up to me (and the rates could vary) but if thats what you were getting at it's a great idea.

Re: BCFCL Captains - Vote for 4

I like what DK is saying.

The whole point of bidding more for one person than another is solely based on their posting ability.

For example a captain would bid on an LJP, Big man, ToonArmy etc. because they are experienced posters. They'd like to have these posters who are witty and don't just post crap on their teams. The cheaper players would be some flogs like Kerrby, JRR etc.

The bidding has nothing to do with playing ability. Everything is about posting.

wouldn't you bid to not have these guys:D
 
Re: BCFCL Captains - Vote for 4

I guess that is true.
I just had a read of what DK is saying, I think it will be hard to organise but if he or Jolldo is prepared to work the system out then I reckon it would be great. It would just need to be made sure with contracts that they are season based, not yearly based.

3 hours to go, then we can get on with organising the draft @|

Any ideas on how the draft will be done? Will there be requirements on how many of each player type to pick or will it just be a free for all? And are we going to include salaries this season or not?

The following rules slightly edited from BigFooty will apply: (pretty much all the BigFooty rules are applied to this competition)
- Minimum and maximum of 1 wicket-keeper
- Minimum of 4 bowlers of any kind (all rounders count as bowlers)
- Minimum of 1 all rounder

And are we going to include salaries this season or not?

No salaries or auction this season. These types of things aren't a practical way to start up a new competition. If the competition is a success i'd love to see an auction come in before the start of season 2.

All players will be entered into the draft and the captains will take turns in selecting players. SouthSwans will take the first pick as he made most of the team names and logos. The rest of the draft order hasn't been decided yet.

Isnt it minimum of 5 players that can bowl?? At least for ODs I thought you needed 5.

I'd think you'd need 5 players who can bowl but the rules on BigFooty state a minimum of 4 per side which is what i've gone with. I'm not sure if we have quite enough players for 5 bowlers per side but i'd strongly recommend choosing 5 players who can bowl.

You don't need 5 for one dayers, but if you don't have 5, you'll pretty much lose every time, as your batsmen will have to share 10 overs between them.

In test matches, you're able to get away with 4 bowlers, 5 aren't needed.
 
Re: BCFCL Captains - Vote for 4

Congratulations to the three of the four captains: SouthSwans, scottyD and Fred.

I am yet to clarify wether ONB wants the job or not but I suspect from what he has said he won’t. Once I receive clarification of this i’ll let you know. If ONB isn’t interested then ToonArmy will be the fourth captain.

Bad luck to everyone else who missed out but i’m sure you’ll all have some sort of leadership role within you respective clubs.

Fred and scottyD you should now choose your team names.
 
Re: BCFCL Captains - Vote for 4

Can we only choose from those on that thread?

Now What?

Once scottyD, Fred and either ONB or ToonArmy choose their team names the draft can commence.

Then we start the competition @|

You can choose pretty much any name you want except for past BigCricket names, BigFooty names etc....
