As BT cup 6 didn't work at all, maybe its time to start again, but witha  different format. I'll run it as long as anyone strongly disagrees%20%20%20.
 
I think 8 teams is a good format, and my idea is this:
 
There will be a random draw, and it will be 1v1, the winners automatcially go through, but for the 4 losers, a draw will be amde and there wil; be two 1v1's. The winners will got hrough. But the losers will play each other, and the winner will go through, and the loser is out.
 
That leaves 7 teams. The winner that scored the most runs will get a bye, but, for those who bowled first, every wicket you take is worth 10 runs. So for instance if you get the oppo out for 100, and you in reply get 101-0, then you'll get 201 runs as you got 10 wickets.
 
Now in the 2nd round the 6 teams playing will be drawn, yet again into 1v1's, and the winner goes through, losers go out.
 
That leaves 4.
 
Now we could either:
 
a)  Have each team play each other, 2 points per win, whoever gets more points wins.
 
OR
 
b) Have semi finals then a best of 3 final.
 
So is anyone interested or has this beena  waste of 15 minutes?
 
Team 1: Getslogged CCC
Team 2: WHCC

Team 4:
Team 5:
Team 6:

Because that is plain and original, I liked the idea slogger had but no-one really had the funds or time to do it, this is a fresh and original idea which coukld end up being good...not just a boring old idea like that

Ok I've read this through twice now and I still don't entirely understand, I think we should have another forum cup though and if you can explain you're idea a bit more clearly monty I'd be happy to join.

Err I'll Try Right: You start with 8 teams, random draw, 1v1's
 
P1
     }                P2
P2
                        v
P3
     }
P4                   P4 
 
P5                                                          P4
     }              P6                                      v
P6                                                          P8 
                      v
P7
     }
P8                  P8  
 
The winners go through, so lets turn  them in  Blue, but the losers play each other:and yet again the winners go through. And those 2 losers play each other, and the winner goes through, loser is out.
 
Right we are left with 7, now the team tha scored the most runs in the first round gets a bye.
 
And the other 3 play each other:
 
the winners go through, the losers are out.
 
So now there are 4 teams left.
 
Now we could either have a group table and the winner wins
 
OR
 
A semi and a final
 
 
now do you understand slogger?

Yeah i think I understand now, sounds like an interesting idea and I think it could work, so you can count me in, still need 6 more though and most people don't seem too interested (my team names WHCC by the way)

Ok this hasn't worked yet again but judging by the bt thread people are interested in playing a bt cup as there are a fair amount of friendlies being organised in the main thread.

I have yet another idea to make the cup a bit more flexible than it was in previous seasons because I think thats where season 5 went wrong.

My idea is simple(ish) I only need 4 teams for it to work so we should be able to play. Basically lets say 4 people sign up, i will then post up a list of fixtures that need to be played by the end of this season. It is then up to you to play all the fixtures on the list involving your team. You don't have to play them in order, you don't even have to play all the fixtures although you won't ahve played as many games as everyone else.

4 points per win
0 for a loss
2 for a tie
2 points to each team for playing the fixture or for trying to play a team by challenging them but not recieving a reply

You only get the challenging bonus at the end of the tournament if the fixture isn't completed. You have to be honest and also send the challenge by Tuesday at the latest so people have time to accept.

This format means you don't have to play every week and teams can still play even if they don't complete fixtures

It's another idea of how to run the cup or we can do it the old fashioned way Rifat did it, with 4 teams minimum

Either that or because I beat Monty by 300 runs the other day and we are the only 2 competitors I'm forum champion %20%20%20

So is anyone up for it, I only need 3 more teams and a vote from each team on which format they want

Team 1 - WHCC (voted for new format)
Team 2 - Getslogged CCC
Team 3 -
Team 4 -
Team 5 (if anyone extra signs up)
Team 6 (if anyone extra signs up)
Team 7 (if anyone extra signs up)
Team 8 (if anyone extra signs up)

I'm not sure if we can do it now garrywarne, it was set up ages ago, crownmethod no longer even posts so he's not going to play. I'm in another friendly comp now as well, so that leaves you and possibly monty.

We need more battrick playing members before we can think about starting a cup.
