*Official* Season X Discussion and Results

[FaaipDeOiad]

yeah, that why odi and fc speciaists arise, but then again, at the end of every season, your form defaults doesnt it?. So in effect, could go from being an od specialist one season, to an fc specialist the next?

Yep, that pretty much happened to me. My first OD season I averaged in the teens with the bat and in the 40s with the ball. Second OD season I won the dev league MVP.

Can we post a side now if we have an idea on who we would like to play?

Right.

At least the rules are clear.

Theoretically, that was a freak conversion though. There are adjustments made to the simming average at the end of every season, so if a player starts off strongly FC and average in OD, it's unlikely that there will be a complete reversal of form.

excellent

Not for Andy,Bryce and me but we'll work with it.

Liam's "simple is as simple does" signup system:

• 4 is added to bowling average and subtracted from batting average unless batting average is under 18 or bowling average is over 30.
• If batting is less than or equal to 18 and bowling is more than 25, the bowling average is not adjusted.
• If batting is less than 5 and bowling is more than 22 but less than or equal to 25, the bowling is not adjusted.
• Peak batting is 45, with any higher value lowered from that point.
• Effectively, no rookie can average more than 41.
• If batting is more than or equal to 35, bowling average may not be less than 30. The average is lowered from a peak of 35 by however many less than 30. Eg 25 bowling = 35-5 = 30; 28 bowling = 35-2 = 33
• If batting is more than or equal to 30 but less than 35, bowling average may not be less than 28. The average is lowered from a peak of 33..
• If batting and bowling are more than or equal to 30, both are adjusted by 4 points.
• Base bowling is 22, with any lower value raised from that point.
• Effectively, no rookie can average less than 26.
• If bowling average is more than 30, no adjustment is made.
• Economy peaks at 4.5. Economy lowered by 0.4 if it is more than 3.
• Bowling averages more than or equal to 40 with no economy entered are assigned an economy of 4.5
• Bowling averages more than or equal to 35 and less than 40 with no economy entered are assigned an economy of 3.8
• If a specialist wicketkeeper averages less than 28, the batting is not adjusted.

This is actually understandable. You just need to approach with the right mindset.

the way i see it, you don't really need to understand it all to sign up, this just explains the wizardry Liam will use to alter peoples sign ups

Indeed, and its always good to understand what actually happens to your simming stats after you sign up.

Any chance of a squad naming thread so all these squads which are being named can be put into them?

 

[chaminda_00]

Don't the squads need to be finialised and the three unsigned players, put in teams first.

Indeed. It'll all be sorted by a bit after midnight London time Sunday/Monday.

 

[cbuts]

not long to go now boys

 

[Loony BoB]

It would definitely be nice if the squads were confirmed before Sunday, given that's when the first warmup is scheduled!

Calm down, it's not the end of the world!

 

[Loony BoB]

No, really, it is! I'm freakin' out, man. ! I lost six hours of sleep over this last night, and I've started shaking, and... wait, what?

Write a Poem about it.

 

[Loony BoB]

A poem about how the world ended because cricket squads were not finalised in time? Haha. Hmm... sounds like a challenge...

...one that I will most likely not take up, but the thought was amusing.
