SEASON 3 NEWS AND HYPE
Season 2 was a big success and I'm particularly pleased with the amount feedback received on the forum. I urge you guys to keep it up.
Now we have reached the off season and Season 3 will not start until the tentative date of the October 4th. However, in order to keep the excitement alive and get the anticipation going for next season, I have decided to release some innovations for discussion.
------------------
TOURNAMENT STRUCTURE
With the restructure of the League to feature 10 teams, the whole format will have to be changed. As such, the season will run as follows...
1/ Two leagues. The names of these leagues are as yet undecided, so any suggestions will be considered. For now, I will call them the A and B leagues.
2/ The top five (5) teams will compete in the A league. This will be decided by the finish of teams in the previous season. This format will allow for a higher standard of competition in the Dev League.
3/ The interleague competition will be in a round robin format as usual.
4/ The bottom team in the A league will be demoted to the B league at the end of the season, and the top team in the B league will be promoted. The bottom team in the B league will be relegated from the Dev League and replaced by another team.
5/ The top 2 teams from each league compete in a playoff schedule as follows:-
Team 1 (A) v Team 1 (B); Team 2 (A) v Team 2 (B)
Finals: Winner v Winner
6/ All Star teams will be chosen from each league and will play a timeless Test and a 50-over match at the end of the season.
Any other suggestions and comments are welcome.
------------------
THE TEAMS
The teams which will be invited back for Season 3 are as follows...
