CW Battrick Cup

[Robertinho]

Top order x 3
Middle order x 4
Lower order x 4
Seam x 4
Spin x 1 (Seam x 5 if no spinners)
Fielding x 1

It sort of neglects fielding and teams with 2+ spinners, but it's a very handy system. It'll be really good once it can determine the number of spinners. In fact, we should just work it out with the actual number of spinners, since we're doing it manually. So seam x (no. of seamers) and spin x (no. of spinners) for the bowling.

Opening Balance (PAN)
Top Order: proficient
Middle Order: proficient
Lower Order: worthless
Seam Bowling: proficient
Spin Bowling: proficient
Fielding: woeful

Opening Balance (GFI)
Top Order: strong
Middle Order: strong
Lower Order: abysmal
Seam Bowling: strong
Spin Bowling: strong
Fielding: feeble

So that would make my batstat rating (assuming worthless = 1) 100 on PAN, and 114 on GFI.

Anchormen (GFI)
Top Order: quality
Middle Order: remarkable
Lower Order: abysmal
Seam Bowling: wonderful
Spin Bowling: miraculous
Fielding: mediocre

Batstat Rating: 164

I haven't got a recent PAN to go by, but my TIE Batstat would drop by at least 20 I'd imagine.

 

[NZTailender]

Tawonga Tigers PAN
Top Order: mediocre
Middle Order: competent
Lower Order: worthless
Seam Bowling: strong
Spin Bowling: proficient
Fielding: woeful

90 if I'm not mistaken?

Stacked the middle order to cheat IMO.

 

[PY]

Mine's 130 on PAN. Though may just put all my decent bats in the 4-7 slots next game.

It wouldn't really make that big a difference though - it's just a "shuffling" to accentuate your strengths. I mean, the middle order rating doesn't get a boost out of nowhere... you can only achieve the ratings that your players allow.

Anchormen (TIE)
Top Order: remarkable
Middle Order: respectable
Lower Order: worthless
Seam Bowling: superb
Spin Bowling: exceptional
Fielding: feeble

Batstat Rating: 125

Meh. That's without stacking my middle order

as for the seedings, i feel the main three factors that should be considered are previous cw bt cup performance or performances, how good the side actually is, and whether a side is still in their nation's cup at the time the draw is made. i'm not really sure how much weight should be placed on either category. i don't really think there is any scientific way to produce an accurate rankings. who can really be bothered sitting around coming up with something like that anyway? ultimately it all really just comes down to someones opinion. i tend to feel that the person in charge of the event should do this how they see fit given they're one putting the effort into running the event. its never going to be perfect, but by god, we can always try.

that is all.

I always thought a seeding system should be based on how good teams actually are, as opposed to previous standings and so on. Batstat rankings, or even the discretion of a small group of suitable people, should decide seedings IMO.

Some of us aren't in hugh enough leagues to be ranked on batstats....

 

[Bobisback]

TIE - 100
PAN - 116
GFI - 137

Not bad, need a middle order really.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

What if you get a ****ed up draw and draw a D1 side early one, like I have for the last ****ing four seasons. Seedings should always been based on past cup performances IMO, i.e teams that make SF should get seeded.

To clarify: I meant that the teams join the CW Cup based on when they're knocked out of the BT Cup. So if you get knocked out early you'll have little chance of drawing a D1 side early on, since they've had an easier draw and probably won't get knocked out. Teams that qualify from the early stages won't necessarily meet teams that have been given byes due to BT Cup commitments either, that would be based on a separate seeding system.

Sorry for the confusion.

Yeah it was more a reference to how I think those weightings are not ideal because more weight on the middle order when my (crap) lot don't get in very much because my top order knock them off.

You've opened a bigger gap between our teams in past couple of yrs! Would probably take my bowling attack against yours with my opposition but your batting is coming on pretty well.

 

[Nate]

The Cup is finishing up mate. Semis and Final only to come. You're more than welcome to sign up for the next one, but that won't be for a while.

 

[Hooper]

Ok, cheers mate. So no Cup for a few weeks then aye?

 

[NZTailender]

Not until the next BT season.

Meanwhile, why not check out Cricketweb Development League Cricket.

 

[Hooper]

Ok mate.

OK, I'll check that out - I don't understand what it is.

It has nothing to do with Battrick right?

Nothing to do with battrick. You sign up with your real life, or imaginary, stats and "you" play in games with the rest of us here on cricketweb and if you're good enough, in tests against the worlds best. It's a fantasy league type of thing.

Haha, so smooth. Deserves a better simming average for this imo.

No, he doesn't.

 

[Hooper]

Haha, pretty cheeky.

Totally lead me off track to something that your heavily involved in

Anyways, how tough is this Battrick League? Is it mainly competitors with loads of experience?
