You aren't the lowest ranked @honestbharaniyou ****.

Strong leg work JoJo and you are really doing some great work in incorporating thoughts, views and opinions in your planning and communication (thank you)
At the end of the day you ain't gonna please all of the people all of the time and it has to be workable for you to run - like you say we get time to suck it in - I'm personally not a fan of the IPL method - however for me that's just personal preference - and it is not a question of it being unfair or unreasonable - (it's just a matter or choice/fashion and therefore not a show stopper) - so far everything looks on track from that perspective.
At first i thought it was a bit harsh of Z***x to say the lowest ranked team doesn't get to play, but on reflection maybe that is fair enough as it acts as an incentive for managers to play Stumped to the best of their ability and raise their ranking so they are not in that position (it is probablya good rule going forward when we find ourselves in the position of having an 'odd team out' (though I'd suggest if the worst team is the only team a manager manages then it would be the lowest ranked team of a manager who has 2 teams that is 'dropped out of the balloon)
PS I had no idea that CWC was such a serious force in Stumped DEV - we have 12 teams placed in the Top 100 !

Dev rankings lol. I love it this way tbh - hope AX-W get into top half of draw.
On Charminster's 13th placing: it is Asia but winning your first three matches in 1.1 is pretty special! Similarly, AXI are 17th in the T20 WRs -- it's not that hax a side; we've just been lucky in 1.1.

@SillyCowCorner1 thank you for the thrashing today by GGCC on TNT... at least I walked away with money, pushing me over the $1M.

Quite a start to that game, 3 for 1 in 2.2 overs
In a t20, usually that spells doom for the batting team.

Player normally has the Iceman trait... indicating he is a cool customer in a pressure situation! What it means in practice for stumped only the Devs know!

You are totally right - he is indeed an Iceman!
Unless there is any dissenting voices I'll set competition up on Saturday evening UK time and give a week or so for people to join respective Divs.
* There will be 'Traditional' semi-finals, 1st v 4th, 2nd v 3rd.
* There will be no cross-over between top and 2nd division after initial 4 groups of 4 round robin. So top 4 of 2nd div will go into 2nd div semi-finals and top 4 of Top div will go into the top div semi-finals.
I'm presuming given no one has mentioned it everyone is happy with 3 matches a week for initial round-robin and 2 matches a week thereafter.

I've quoted the above so people can look over it if they have not already done so. To clear up a couple of areas that have been discussed since idea posed.

All good with me - thank you
Apart from myself and Honest Hunks dropping down a place in overall rankings (neither of which imapct CWC rankings/seedings) rankings from my post on previous page remain the same.
Have done the draw and almost made it through to the end with no one getting into each others groups - until the final 2 teams with Ataraxia originally 4th in randomised list of 4. Dynamo Morpork 3rd in list took the next available group - Group D leaving Ataraxia in Group C.
GROUP A: The Merry Orangutans, Moooo, AtaraX Wellington, Honest Hunks
GROUP B: Charminster CC, GG CC, Zor*x CC, Plymouth Pirates
GROUP C: Dynamo Schmaltzberg, The Wild Geese, Free HK, AtaraXIa
GROUP D: Jura CC, Ashgrove Astronauts, Winton CC, Dynamo Morpork
I will set up the groups and put links in here in next 30mins

Dynamo Morpork putting out teams of 42/43k match ratings in recent DEV games so seems like they are a bit out of position re their ranking. Looking like it'll be a high quality group!
Yeah I had presumed given the force your sides normally are in CWC that your Zor*x side would be stronger, I went a bit too strong with my line-up for our recent DEV friendly in hindsight.
