Would changing from top-order to opener count as changing signups?Not gonna stop anyone, but changing signups is dire IMO. It's "frowned upon".

I thought the whole point of this would be to sign up as the players we more or less are.
Changing your role to be a fictional character means you may as well make someone up.
It gives the whole tournament an air of authenticity if we don't get all the team balance quite right, with different teams having to work around different problems.

Turb: Then I guess a bowling allrounder at no. 7 will be helpful.
Cevno: Ah, at least are you an attacking opener a la Sehwag or Jayasuriya? If not, it'll be pathetic opening with someone like Ravi Shastri in ODIs

If I thought like you while signing-up, I could slot myself at the vacant no. 7 spot as the spin-bowling allrounder that I am.

Well I'd rather everyone were signed up as how they play in reality. But it's not my call.
Either way, it's unfair for some teams to try and work around their balance issues while others are constructing artificial but perfectly balanced sides.

I didn't sign-up as the artificial player with a motive to lend balance to my team...
My purpose was completely different...I wanted to represent Tendulkar...
Had I been honest with my sign-up, I would have represented someone like R Ashwin, that would have helped the balance of my team more...

I wasn't accusing you of anything. A lot of people have done that. Just pointing out that the inconsistencies might result in a touch of unfairness, intentional or not.
