Hey everyone, I would like your thoughts on any changes for next year.

So this year there was an absolute mass of games for teams like Nepal, UAE, Namibia, USA and Oman, which ended up having a much bigger impact on results than the initial draft.

Not that i want to detract from the almost certain victory for CricAddict who has played this game perfectly or even suggest that volume of games shouldn't be the key factor, but i think it was unbalanced this year against how well you draft the best players.

I have no idea if there will be a similar campaign for the associate nations next year either, so it is possible that no changes are necessary.

Other ideas is setting a max of non-Test nation players, or having larger squads with dedicated non-Test slots that score half points.

I also don't want to make it much more complicated - most importantly it should be enjoyable to participate.

So let me know what you think.

cheers

PS I will re-iterate that I don't want to diminish the success of CricAddict this year. Was it easy or difficyult to work out how many games those nations were playing this year? I usually find that many games have little lead time after being entered into the cricinfo schedule, but i probably don't go and check all 20 odi nations either.

I must admit I had difficulty identifying which non-test playing nations were involved in scheduled fixtures and, as a consequence, played it safe and probably missed out on some players who scored well points-wise.

The super league concept has been dropped after this year and so, my brahmastra so to speak is gone now afaik there will not be a definite schedule for the associates going forward.

Other ideas is setting a max of non-Test nation players, or having larger squads with dedicated non-Test slots that score half points.

Both look good ideas. Fine with either of them.

No offense taken mate. imo I played the game fair and square and so, if anything, I am actually feeling prouder about it now that my picks are bringing in a change in rules Happy to play by the rules for 2023 once you frame them.

While the game is not over and so not celebrating my success yet, happy with how my analysis and intuition has gone. While the analysis helped on non-test players, I am happy that my intuition on rookies like Green, Hardik, SKY etc. paid off immensely since they were all mostly out of scene when I picked them.

This probably means that no change will be fine.

Yes, I should point out you had plenty of great picks from the usual teams too.

Nah, how dare you take the time to study the fixture lists and make appropriate selections based on them.

It's flagrantly unfair to the lazy amongst us.

This, but unironically.

@Teuton News just came in that Bumrah is injured and will be out of action for 4-6 months. Since q4 has not started, under this situation, am I allowed to take a replacement for him from the pool?

 

[Teuton]

No, it's too late since everyone has finished the draft and more information is available now. He will just be 1 of your 3 non-scoring players

Sure Teuton. That's fine. Thanks for the confirmation.

Won't get relegated.

Not much change on the leaderboard post T20 WC, but it is time to start thinking about 2023.

I will open early sign ups here before starting the new thread when i have time later in the week. The draft will begin in approx 1 week from now. Please let me know if you wish to go around again next year.

[anil1405]

I'll skip the next edition.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

did we come to a conclusion about the lower-ranked teams?

 

[BoyBrumby]

I'll give it a go again.

did we come to a conclusion about the lower-ranked teams?

And don't think so, but the world ODI league dealy is being discontinued?

 

[Teuton]

No rule change, based on 2022 being an outlier in terms games played.

 

[CricAddict]

In again for sure.
