Now that I'm here, it changes everything...Bondy is looking at a hiding.

He's been generous enough to give others a "shot at the title". he beat me by 0.02 of a run-rate after two matches, one win, one loss each. By the way, you're dreaming Samhache, the cups mine this season.

Probs bondy, considering i am not entering. You know i'd beat you.

Ok I'd like one more team for the challenge cup before we can get started, also can you post when your eliminated from the cup so i know when the tournament can get started

I got beat today so I'm out.

Depending on how long competitors can last in the cup, Dan Can's inactivity means he may not be participating in the cup. Will Backfoot master be taking his place or will we now need a further two members to participate in the challenge cup?

i.e everybody in the cup selects a number 1-14

yeah well in real cricket its not a crap cup with holland and bermuda and a great cup with aus and ind

Exactly.

Well I'm out of the cup. No shame in being beaten by a better team.

Well this is just an idea seeing that you guys are stuck.

How about having three Divisions ie Div 1 with 5 teams, Div 2 With 5 teams and Div 3 with 5 teams.

The top 2 teams from each Div gets promoted and the bottom 2 get relegated.

Teams for each Division can be selected on the basis of "Obviousness".

For eg, Dan and Monty would obviously be in Div. 3 because they are relatively new teams where as Clobber would be in Div.1 being a more experienced player.

Advantages of this format:
- More excitement with all this promotion and relegation stuff!
- Odd number of teams doesn't matter because whoever joins this after this season will start right at the bottom of Div.3 The other two top divisions will have a constant number of 5 or 6(depending on preferences of the organizer)
- No one will get knocked out because this won't be a cup. It will be a League.
- It will end easily in 8 weeks with each team getting to play against all other teams in its division twice (1 home game/1 away game). If people feel its too short it can be extended to 12 weeks but that'd mean uneven distribution of home and away games.

If you guys think this is a good idea I will plan it better. Right now its just a suggestion. If you guys think its nice, I will plan it better and provide further details.

Thanks.

Im still in the cup though i just won by nine wickets in the 2nd round.

I have to agree with bondy you cant just go an change it because the teams that arent so good wont stand a chance and a liked the old one

by the way, bondy it will make the whole Cup more competitive rather than making it competitive for only the new guys.

unless some of the experienced battrick players won't to change it, it won't be changed.

I'm looking forward to some good matches this year Tyke! We could see a turn around in fortune.
