Not gonna stop anyone, but changing signups is dire IMO. It's "frowned upon".

Would changing from top-order to opener count as changing signups?

Dirty mind

[GIMH]

Signup editing should result in ability-capping, IMO

 

[Spark]

Yeah it's a pretty average thing to do and rather misses the whole point of the competition, tbh.

 

[Nate]

Definitely think you should stick to what you sign up with.

 

[Howe_zat]

I thought the whole point of this would be to sign up as the players we more or less are.

Changing your role to be a fictional character means you may as well make someone up.

It gives the whole tournament an air of authenticity if we don't get all the team balance quite right, with different teams having to work around different problems.

 

[Spark]

It'll be more funny as well if we go in with ludicrously unbalanced teams.

This.

 

[Spark]

I didn't perfectly model my stats on myself (went SLA instead of right arm offbreak) but yeah mine are reasonably similar to how I played.

 

[weldone]

I bowl leg spin and have 40 bowling skill points.

Also, Blaze has 40 points for batting, not 20.

Turb: Then I guess a bowling allrounder at no. 7 will be helpful.

Cevno: Ah, at least are you an attacking opener a la Sehwag or Jayasuriya? If not, it'll be pathetic opening with someone like Ravi Shastri in ODIs

If I thought like you while signing-up, I could slot myself at the vacant no. 7 spot as the spin-bowling allrounder that I am.

Well I'd rather everyone were signed up as how they play in reality. But it's not my call.

Either way, it's unfair for some teams to try and work around their balance issues while others are constructing artificial but perfectly balanced sides.

Random redistribution FTW.

I didn't sign-up as the artificial player with a motive to lend balance to my team...

My purpose was completely different...I wanted to represent Tendulkar...

Had I been honest with my sign-up, I would have represented someone like R Ashwin, that would have helped the balance of my team more...

I wasn't accusing you of anything. A lot of people have done that. Just pointing out that the inconsistencies might result in a touch of unfairness, intentional or not.

 

[G.I.Joe]

Everyone just man up and re-sign as their real world selves IMO.

 

[Jarquis]

I'm a batting allrounder in real life but I wanted to be Swann. Bite me.

 

[G.I.Joe]

Maybe I will.
