Bonus Points on Averages

This is what South Swans has suggested:

+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)

This would mean that buying players at the end of season 1 for the start of season 2 would mean something.

I'd also suggest something like this as well:

+ 5 on batting average for the person with the most posts in the league
+ 3 for > 200 posts
+ 1 for > 100 posts

or for Bowlers:

- 5 on bowling average for the person with the most posts in the league
- 3 for > 200 posts
- 1 for > 100 posts

posts would just count on the BCFCL board

Thoughts and suggestions would be appreciated. @|

+ 5 on batting average for best poster in the league

Would this be based purely on numbers or quality aswell and if quality taken into account then who is the judge of this? Certainly think a system rewarding posting is a good one and ties in well with the proposed bidding system for innitial squads.

Best poster should really read person with the most posts, i'll edit that now
 
Re: Bonus Points on Averages

Against it.

New users won't want to join up when they are constantly getting ducks or their economy rate is over 10 as the players in the comp who have been here longer will be just too dominant.

I won't support it if there is a push for this

I've been playing in BFs league for less than a month and just took 4/44 off 22 overs for the KCMs, can't say that's bad figures or eco rates, they've had the bonus system for a long time too. It encourages new members to post more.

Too many points in my opinion. Should be one point for being leading run scorer.

Too easy to achieve.

Like the leading run scorer option, I believe this should be an addition of one point only.

I don't think players should be penalised for playing poorly. The economy rates to lower the bowling average are also pretty tough. There's not many players who will average an economy rate of 2.8 or less in one-day games.

I'm all for posting but I don't want people spamming the board in order to gain a few bonus points for the next season.

I would prefer the three most constructive/valued posters to be rewarded with one bonus point added to their averages. I'd rather this method than having people respond with "lol", "omg", "@|" or ":D" in order to reach the required posts for an increase in points.

Like BigFooty, I believe the premiership sides should be rewarded with one bonus point for winning either the one-day or test competition.

Having too many points would make some players become far too dominant and it would turn off current players and potential new ones. For example, if a bowler was to be the leading wicket-taker for the competition, satisfy the run-rate requirements and also be the leading poster, they lose ten points from their bowling stats. With a starting average of 19, suddenly their season two average becomes nine and they would just have too much influence on the competition. A bonus point cap would be a worthwhile idea, players couldn't earn more than four or five points for their averages.

Not a bad idea so far but it just needs a bit of tweaking.
 
Re: Bonus Points on Averages

^^^ I think i agree with everything said in that post @|

On the starting averages my computer seems to have extremely low scores on the sim so the averages will be alot higher than the BigFooty comp. I'm currently playing around with it trying to find the right mix, i'll post the averages i'm going to use in the next couple of days.

Yeah but that's only because we played our batting order upside down :p :D
 
Re: Bonus Points on Averages

Jolldo just again with the wording: the best bowling poster should get -5 on their average and the best batting poster should get +5 on their average or maybe the best (most) poster gets to alter either their batting or bowling average by 5. i know what you mean but just need to clarify that the bowling and batting best posters are different people otherwise some allrounder will post a heap and just be too dominant getting 5 on their batting and 5 off their bowling.@|

Yep good idea, when everything is written up i'll make sure to specify that.

Keep in mind that at the moment nothing in this thread is part of the competition.
 
Re: Bonus Points on Averages

Quantity of posts should NOT be rewarded. Quality should.

We don't want a West Coast Wonders team posting crap and dominating.

Jolldo when do you guess the draft will take place?

as soon as we have 4 team names in that i'm happy with

I'm currently considering Fred's team name now
 
Re: Bonus Points on Averages

Don't agree for so many bonus points.

1 for the batsman of the season, 1 for the bowler of the season and one for the overall player of the season as individuals

The XI premiership players in both forms also get 1 point.
