I open for anything. I just love playing these matches.
To be clear that's 1 league of 14 teams? I don't mind that but think if we do go with that would prefer a system that has maybe top 2 go straight to semis with 3rd v 6th (winner plays 2nd) and 4th v 5th (winner plays 1st) to limit chances of 4 teams pulling away quite early.re CWC7 structure, single round-robin (games twice a week) IMO. Good to have a change from group / tier structure for mine. If we get exactly 16 teams - which would be great for anyone interested! - then we can do a Cup-style tournament as well as this SOD league.
Nah, I am out for now, sorry.Update on CWC7 teams

@honestbharani will you be setting up a new team? the more teams the merrier.
@Magrat Garlick will you be joining CWC7 - see its been a while since you've been active with Dynamo Morpork
Any new players wishing to join are also more than welcome to!
Any cautious ideas if we do end up with 14 teams?
2 groups of 5 and 1 group of 4 - based on seedings with affiliates avoiding each other when possible? Top 2 in each group and best 3rd placed side go to top div, other sides to 2nd div.
Home and away format for both league phases. 2 matches a week for both league phases. Same semi-finals (1st v 4th, 2nd v 3rd) as last time.
with 15 teams, 3 groups of 5 and 2 best 3rd place sides in top div, other 7 with an affiliate in 2nd div.
with 16 teams, 4 groups of 4 like CWC6?
Hoping we can start signs up in about a week and have Stumped generating games over Christmas with a start just after Christmas.
DW. I'm in Singapore on holiday and have no idea what I've done with my XIsForgot to update default lineup post player sales. Oops.
I have forgotten though ... is it T20 or OD up next????
Unless there is majority support for above idea I would prefer top 2 go straight to semis with 3rd v 6th (winner plays 2nd) and 4th v 5th (winner plays 1st). I think it would give due reward for finishing in top 2 whilst being simpler.With 14 teams I think we can do a single group, single stage round robin. 13 games each team.
For KO stage how about:
Eliminator 1 - 1st vs 4th
Eliminator 2 - 2nd vs 3rd
Winners take one spot in the Semi Finals
Eliminator 3 - Loser E1 vs 6th
Eliminator 4 - Loser E2 vs 5th
Winners take second spot in Semi Finals
SF1 - Winner E1 vs E3
SF2 - Winner E2 vs E4
Gives the Top 4 teams two cracks at making the semis, and 5th and 6th one chance.
Oh my, this will take some time for the boys to recover from. This was a battering.Also congrats on your win @cnerd123 - a sombering start for our rebuilding Charminster CC side who last a T20 to Z*rax CC by 204 runs - https://www.stumpedgame.com/Scorecard.php?Match=1674248
What chances would you give yourselves of gaining a title in both OD and T20 format and retaining Div 1 DEV status and being Div 1 in each format next season? Your targets certainly seem a lot more ambitious than mine would be!Hopes for the Season
What are your hopes for next season - dare to make a fool of yourself and put them down here for everyone to resend in 14 weeks time?!?
- Jura - To compete for and gain an OD or T20 title in Div 2.
- Jura - To retain its Div 1 DEV status.
- Jura - To break into World Top 40 and achieve its highest ever WR.
To gain an international squad place for the first time for either of its teams.
- Geese - To avoid relegation in its first season in OD Div 2.
- Geese - To promote from T20 Div 3.
- Geese - To reach its highest ever WR (above 125!).
And finally.......... (and this will make me a marked man here!), to do the CWC triple and win 3 cups on the trot! ??
More hopes than targets - shooting for the moon! I only hope to be in with a shout in eother T20 or OD for Jura - Last season we finished 4th or 5th so it is hoped we can make a little progress in one or the other. I dount we can retain Div 1 DEV status because as you all saw the DEV team feel apart at the end of the last month and will be a burnt out shell by the New Year - but again, until i see that the fight is hopeless we will try to survive there , you never know what ill wind is blowing for other teams caught up in the same cycleWhat chances would you give yourselves of gaining a title in both OD and T20 format and retaining Div 1 DEV status and being Div 1 in each format next season? Your targets certainly seem a lot more ambitious than mine would be!
Which would effectively don't be embarrased this season and see good growth from my players across the season. A more ambitious call would be
- Try and get Will Fairhurst international recognition. Currently at 41 batting with a potential of 49 and is still 19.
