Battrick Cup, Season Ten, Group Stage Draw

OK, as mentioned we got a round 32, so everyone goes into the main draw.

Draw:

Group A: Anchormen (5330), Citizens Erased (7153), Swamibapa Leeds CC (10033), Jamees 999ers (3765)
Group B: Jaffna Jets (2272), Leverock CC (6550), BEST Indies (3872), Central Districts (6385)
Group C: Connells Estates CC (384), Sad Decadent XI (6708), oz fans XI (6232), Withington Wonderers (425)
Group D: Swingers (10464), Whenuapai CC (1569), Tamil Eelam CC (9382), Magical Ponies (5409)
Group E: Four Pillars and Poor Fillers (4913), Alternative XI (4412), Dynamo Morpork (1837), Saggers Mob (6473)
Group F: Victoria Panthers (5776), Got Spin (5523), Lancashire (195), Kipper XI (4666)
Group G: Boggles (7145), Brackenhurst (5748), Beard XI (10135), Coco's Nuts (6533)
Group H: Asterix XI (1766), Cymru Gurgitaters (3688), Opening Balance (725), Tawonga Tigers (4929)

Fixtures:
Sunday 17 August: 1 v 2, 3 v 4
Sunday 24 August: 4 v 1, 3 v 2
Sunday 31 August: 1 v 3, 2 v 4

Second round (7 September)
A1 v B2
E1 v F2
C1 v D2
G1 v H2
B1 v A2
F1 v E2
D1 v C2
H1 v G2

and then logically onwards (winner match one plays winner match two and so on.) The tournament ends on 28 September, that's nine days after the final league game of the season.

There will be a plate, but as not everyone has signed up for it what will likely happen is this:
plate first round (7 September): all teams knocked out of group stage that wish to play plate
plate quarter-finals: winners of plate round 1 + losers of main tournament second round that wish to play plate - if this brings the total to more than 8 teams, some of the teams that won in plate round 1 will be eliminated based on their run rate in the matches played so far, or there won't be a tournament for the second round losers (haven't quite decided yet, advantages and disadvantages to both methods); if there's fewer than 8 teams some of the teams from round 2 (and, if necessary, teams that won in plate round 1) will be given byes to the semi-final on the same principle.

In case of a forfeit and a net run rate decision is needed for the group or to seed teams in the plate, teams will be deemed to have received the "average win" over the forfeiting team. If a team forfeits all three games it's fair on everyone.

Looks muddy, will be clearer once the tournament progresses.

The first game will be key for me. I may have a higher Battrick rating than the Sad Decadent XI, but a fair bit of my rating comes from the batting strength of my lower order. Generally speaking, I think the Decadents have a very good chance to beat me.

Especially if I play like I did against Clapo last year.
