If, for example, a player and his team don't perform in the season, but he post regularly and is around all year how would they get the advantage over the competition? Maybe give 1 or 2 extra average points to players who post and deduct 1 or 2 for players who are inactive? I dunno.. but it seems those of us who post (I know I've only been here for like 2 weeks, don't throw "you haven't been here that long" comments at me, please) aren't rewarded. Boncer is one example. He doesn't post yet he can come in here and still get a game.

The comp will always have players who don't post frequently, that's just a part of the game. It is almost impossible to get 11 or 12 players who post every day, it just won't happen. The aim to have a squad of players who all post at least once or twice per week and contribute one or two posts for a match thread. A lot of you new guys are forgetting that people do have lives outside of fantasy cricket and can't be on all the time to post, so expecting a constant stream of posts from all players is unrealistic.

Maybe we could give 1 point to players who post say... 10? times in a week, and if they don't meet the quota take 1 away (having a maximum of 50 or something though). I don't know maybe thats too hard and complicated. But we should really look into giving ways of giving us who participate a slight advantage.

Far too difficult to implement, that would someone having to go through every single players posts weekly which would be far too much work, especially when uni, school and work starts back up again for those who are on holidays at the moment.

I am against giving bonus points to those who post frequently, whilst frequent posting is strongly encouraged in this competition, delegating BP's to those who post a lot is unfair on those who can't get on everyday and is ultimately slightly discriminatory. It would also turn into a situation where posters would start spamming to gain points and posts would turn into short one or two word efforts which I don't want to see.

The bonus point situation at the moment awards one bonus point to the poster who is judged the best poster in the competition (Poster of the Season). With more posters signing up and the comp getting bigger, it might be worthwhile extending it to the top three posters to reward those who post quality and not quantity.

I spose your right. It is hard to implement and is discriminatory. But I still think we do need to find a method of promoting activity. Whether that is rewarding it, or taking points away from people who don't post for two weeks or something. I have no idea. But I think we need to have a look at it.

I wont be playing after this game due to work commitments.

You don't have to be on 100% of the time.. but if you think thats better than fair enough, good luck.

I think there should just be a best poster(s) award at the end of the year.

This should not be decided just by the amount of posts but also the quality. Jolldo could decide the winner. Then, this player(or three or five players. Whatever is decided upon) recieves a bonus point.
 
Re: Madrid Magic Team Thread

Yeh, they have this, I think. Only top poster (1) though. It is decided by quality not quantity also, so thats good.

That's a shame. I'll miss your unique form of banter Wizz.

I was only joking about not playing..Its to much fun to stop now..Plus who would get Biggie out if I stopped playing?:D
 
Re: Madrid Magic Team Thread

It'll be a One Dayer and the thread will be up tomorrow or Monday (I think), the game will probably be Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest

Have I missed much in the last week DK?

Not much. We lost a One Dayer, we have 4 new players (The Wizz, Mousey, Breeno and Tongs) and we obviously won our last Test outright. We still should play both forms of finals.

I brought Boncer back into the team from the brink of being delisted and he performed well, you are still opening the batting, doggiesin08 is making century after century.

Apart from that, not much else at all

He was here early in the season, exactly. But he wasn't posting before being picked for this week...
I didn't even know I was picked when I posted. Duh.
