Ok guys I've been thinking about this and it's no disrespect to Bugs or Greg but I'd like to think I have something to offer as CEO of WCC again. In an earlier post I said I wouldnt be up for taking the helm again but that was for the existing WCC as for me it just became a monster and got out of hand because of its own popularity. I think I can learn from the mistakes of the past and better manage it this time and if you guys want me to I can take over again starting immediately.
This is my vision for the future of WCC
* Possibly 12 Teams, look at sign ups, would prefer no more than 16 at the absolute most.
* 2 Divisions of 6 teams (if 12 teams)
* Both OD and FC format
* Maybe an academy, find out interest - can start anytime during the season. If there is an academy someone would have to put their hand up to be in charge of this. I can help but I want to put my effort into WCC.
* Reset all squads to real life - managers can pick up to two existing "fake or rookie" players from that clubs existing team list. e.g only WA can choose H Jenkins, only Yorkshire can choose W Tendulkar etc...
* The first two seasons will be short with no expansion considered until the third season, even then it would be unlikely. - The reason I'd like to have a couple of short quick seasons is so we can see some results, people like to win things rather than having seasons drag on I think it would be better to limit it to about 8 rounds of each form which would include some double header weeks where both FC and OD can be played.
* There will be no trading before the season starts
* I'd like to avoid a draft before the season, however some teams might be considerably weaker than others, if this is the case it might be possible to have a short two round draft so teams can improve their side a little bit, while meaning they still pick a minimum of seven real players from that team every game. These players would be rookie players brought into the game, as we may need other real players for other projects down the track.
* I will sim all WCC matches. This is likely to be Friday again at this stage.
Thoughts? Or anything to add??

Yeah I guess it will be hard to find the time to run and sim both the main comp and academy. But how are you going to get the managers who might miss out on a spot still interested in the game and get new managers involved without a secondary comp. Really I can't see the point of starting it up all over again. Then cutting and bits of pieces of it, cus the workload will be too hard. The last thing you need is half hearted concept. To run the game properly you need to secondary comp of some format IMO. Either start is up again properly or just don't worry about.
I just don't see the point of starting it up again and then not having an avenue for new managers to get involved and interested in the game. You will probably just end of with the same situation Tharmi had with some sides not being able to find managers for the main sides, as no new managers were signing up.

As you see in my main post there my main priority would be to get WCC up and running and then look at how many people we have waiting and then decide on a secondary form. Again WCC got out of hand, it got too much for one or even two people to run, what I'm proposing is basically what WCC looked like in season 2. As you can see I'm not saying no to an academy but someone is going to have be committed to making it work.

Fair enough. If someone like you run it I'm sure it will be run well anyway.

So glad I stepped down now.
Quick question with the restructing of domestic leagues in SL and SA. How would rookie allocations work for fake or rookie players. Considering Colts, Galle, Northerns and Free State are in the lesser domestic leagues in Sri Lanka and South Africa. To give potential managers from those countries are fair chance with current real squads they would be made from the provincial or franshise sides, right? So cus those sides didn't exist would that mean they get no rookies or would their be exceptions based on nationalities for those teams?
Also think we should have atleast the option of adding real players from other clubs not in the league through either a draft or open draft. I'm sure most managers would back their ability to get a crap team up to standard in two seasons or so. But would be disappointing if we lost the potential to have some top International players not in the game from the start due to their club not getting selected. Even just a short 3-4 round draft would be good.

In you're case I see you are taking over a newly named SL domestic side, I'd be happy for you to have you're pick of the Colts' rookies, if someone is taking over one of the domestic RSA teams then I'd allow them to pick from whichever of the RSA teams they like, prefarably one they were previously affiliated with.
Not sure about you're second point, one of the reasons of a reset is to get squads back to that of real life and if we throwing in pools of new players we will see a situation where squads will very quickly resemble nothing of the real life ones, if you have an idea to combat this happening then im all ears.

Yeah I'll that later today, I'll try and organise it a bit. As I end up with stuff everywhere a bit. I doubt the CD will fit in an email, so I'll post that you.
With regard to the 2nd point. With the nature of domestic cricket these days there is a lot of transfers between states/provinces/counties. So there could be an option to only draft in 2-4 players from your domestic league. This would mainly help sides from smaller countries as most managers will choice Australia and English teams, so they wont have many players to sign from. But for smaller countries it would allow us to get some top players from the other states/provincies to even out out squad. If you limit to local drafts/trades then the sides will still look every much like real teams.

Bugs to be fair you didn't really have a plan, I don't want to have a go at you because we all know you mean well but there's a lot involved and you simply just said you wanted to take over, but there were no clear cut idea's or anything. I'd be more than happy to have you're help if you want though...
