*Official* Big Bash League 2012/13

Thankfully the opening post now has the fixtures in it

 

[Spikey]

we could do a long range thing. tip every game right now. but i guess you couldn't do the finals

 

[Spark]

I was thinking about a tipping comp myself actually; will need to look at the fixtures first though. If there's any sort of consistent rhyme or reason for the scheduling that we can get used to then a tipping comp would work well. Need to just stick to picking results though; other **** is too complicated.

The Fox Sports fantasy league structures the comp into "rounds", could just copy those.

Couldn't you just tip a weeks worth at a time?

Yeah future tipping would be quality also for a laff.

 

[Spikey]

I might set up a long range thing anyway


I'd rather someone else do it though

Yeah, I'm going to have a look at it in an hour or so. I think it's scheduled in a more tipping-comp-friendly way than the Shield anyway. Will start a thread when I do.

Unless Benchy was serious about NUFAN having another crack; I did assume he was taking the piss...

Yeah that was what I was thinking; try to make it like footy and have everyone's tips due in on a certain day so they could get into a routine of tipping the week's games, even if they're not exactly in perfect round order.

obv lying re: n00fers.

I'm just thinking about 'From Long Range' - we might need tiebreakers. Ask everyone to send in their winner as a tiebreaker. that seems obvious enough. but if that doesn't break it? thoughts pls

What ****? Very small chance two people are going to finish on the same score at the end of the thing.

 

[Spikey]

i need at least two tiebreakers or i don't get government funding

Tiebreaker II might be something like 'who will score more runs (x) or (y)

 

[Spikey]

except it'll be who will take more wickets, warne or muttiah

 

[Spikey]

last man standing would probably be too hard for this type of fixture wouldn't it

Yeah just do week by week.

Anyone going to the Sixers-Thunder derby on the 8th?

 

[centurymaker]

when is ponting's game?

Sydney Sixers add Jeevan Mendis to Big Bash arsenal | The Courier-Mail

clark(eh) back to making boring overseas signings

 

[Prince EWS]

I rate Jeevan Mendis. Annoying as it may mean less game time for SuperDom though.

 

[Spikey]

super dom is a finals specialist anyway
