Would love to be in a plate as well. Pretty disappointed that I didn't get a chance to play Nayak's team as I thought I had a chance there, but fair enough reason.

So when does the plate thingy take place and who organises this?

So when does the plate thingy take place and who organises this?

Starts this Sunday (April 27). Knockout, rather like the senior format. I organise it.

 

[Dead Badger]

Think I'm going to pass on the Plate, I'm afraid; PFLs are a bit shot, and the OD run-in is going to be very close, so I'm going to concentrate on that.

Cheers for all the work organising btw; top job. CW cups get slicker every season.

 

[trevor_vayro]

Defeat against Best Indies is still probably going to screw up my CW Cup campaign, as it'll take something pretty bloody special for The Gurs to get up V Scaly!

Good game Sriram, though can't believe you elected to bat first, given the disparity between my batting and bowling attacks, that's got to be amongst the top three blunders of the Cup!

Out of interest (and laziness), how many upsets have there been in this comp? It's got to be some sort of record? Do people reckon that's just a sign of the CW field starting to bunch, or is there something more sinister afoot in the match engine. I've noticed more upsets generally this season, and have a theory that it's something to do with knackered PFLs, which isn't necessarily reflected in the reporter's summary?

Later, Trev

PFL is definitely redflected in the reporter's summary. Explains 'Tinho's crap ratings.

 

[chaminda_00]

Upsets have a lot to do with some teams resting players to preserve PFLs. Apart from 'Tinho lost to SDXI I don't any other side got a major upset against them playing their first XI.

PFLs have a major effect on ratings once players are fresh and below, as they have to performances as well.

 

[andruid]

Busy trying to screw up someone else's OD promotion hopes s my official reason is 'I am trying to win my OD league and get promoted.

 

[trevor_vayro]

Scaly challenged, I think at his, but the Combo box kept bouncing it back to mine. So if I've got it wrong mate, just send me a new challenge and I'll accept it.

 

[PY]

As Pineapple face isn't always online, I've challenged him at his residence.

OK, mickey mouse signups closed.

Six teams given byes to the mickey mouse quarter-finals, they are:

I'll put up the quarterfinals as well, but they're not until next week:

Challenged Citizens at my place, although I had wondered, am I actually meant to be at home, seeing as a I finished runner up in my group?

Home and away were randomly drawn.

I figured it was enough of an advantage being seeded to face a runner-up.
