Meeting outcome

After a protracted meeting the following changes have been confirmed.

From Season 3, WCC will be radically changed to a 5 division structure of 6 teams in each.

To implement this, the following expansion teams have been included - ACT, Mashonaland, Free State, Guyana, Jamaica and Faisalabad.

2 proposing teams had to be missed out, so bad luck to Agriculture Development Bank of Pakistan and Sui Gas Corporation of Pakistan.

The Board of WCC have commissioned marc71178 yet again to provide a report into how best to integrate the teams into the leagues and cups - a summary of his report is attached here.

Note that the divisions may be different for the 4 day competition and 1 day competition.

Queries regarding promotion and relegation from season 2 to 3 are to be directed to the newly appointed board member marc71178 (as he's the only one who understands them!)

The 6 expansion teams will play a 50 over round robin towards the end of season 2 to determine which 2 get a bye to Round 2 of the Cup.

The second point is that with immediate effect, friendly matches have been abolished (with the exception of pre-season matches) - this is to free up more of the board's time for such important matters as attending luncheons and playing golf (since we're now all big executive types)

Finally, the WCC will continiue in the absense of head honcho and all-round good egg GB - with his glamourous assistant Rich2001 taking the reins. This news will mean that there will be no extra Tournaments!

Announcements with regards to the new managers will be made in this thread after chief of admissions, head honcho and all-round good egg GB has approached the managers on the waiting list.

The Agriculture Development Bank of Pakistan have reacted with disappointment at being overlooked for an expansion spot, spokesman Farmer Giles said "OO AH, OO AH, I is mighty pissed orf - I'm so pissed orf I'm gonna get on my tractor and drive it down a busy road in front of a queue of traffic to make them pissed orf as well. And you can tell Daisy she isn't getting any tonight either, OO AH, OO AH"

Hmm, the attachment didn't work - trying again (if it doesn't work, I will get GB to email it)

Why was a fourth division of 8 not chosen and were these new teams picked by the proposed new managers.

It's good that the WCC will continue. Thanks to Rich for temporarily taking over.

Just a couple if questions for u Marc.

1. Will the new teams be made up of academy, rookies or players not part of wcc.

2. Will existing managers get first pick over the new teams??

3. Hows the relegations and promotion system going to work, in particular division 3.

1/ Yes and No, Basically they will be made up of as many players as we can from their original side but any extras will be rookies or left overs from other teams in there country

2/ If a current manager expresses and interest in one of the new teams then it could be considered...

3/ Ok here goes...

Season 3 divisions will be like this

Division 1
Top 5 from Division 1 and Division 2 Champs

Division 2
Bottom 3 from Division 1, 2nd and 3rd from Division 2 and 1st in Division 3

Division 3
4th, 5th, 6th and 7th from Division 2 and 2nd and 3rd from Division 3

Division 4
Last in Division 2, 4th-8th Division 3

Division 5
6 New Teams...

Every season thereafter will be 1 up 1 down automatically, with 5th vs 2nd playing off for the 2nd spot...
ie. 5th Div 1 vs 2nd Div 2


:D:D:D

So you understood the spreadsheet then GB?

As for not 4 divisions of 8, it was agreed we couldn't sustain 32 teams.

The new teams were selected in order to broaden our horizons and tap into the lucrative Pakistani and West Indies momento market - somethings got to pay for all those long lunchs!

Unfortunately the bribes offered by Agriculture Development Bank of Pakistan (3 pigs, a combine harvester and Farmer Giles' cow Daisy) and Sui Gas Corporation of Pakistan (A piece of piping) weren't sufficient to warrent their inclusion.

The committee will visit the draft rules in a few weeks - it will be fairly done as things always are in this league... (unless you're a farmer or Gasman)

You could always use some of the players left over from this season's draft to fill up some of the new team squads or is that too cruel!:lol::lol::lol:

UMMM i don't really mind how the drafts done, Damn I don't even want a draft pick as long as I get some guy called DG Bradman, or C McDermott. It's alright for me if I get that. and don't say nything about putting Billy in the same class as Bradman, HE is so shut up
