Paid's Season Four Theories

[Paid The Umpire]

In the previous seasons Paid has had a couple of good ideas, lets see how he goes this season!

Here we go with Paids theory for season 4...

W1: 1d
W2: 4d
...
W13: 1d
W14: 4d

W15: vbcup's final

---------

Note this would change the VB Cup, from a twenty five over cup... into two seperate cups one for 1day and one for 4day games.

Round 1:
Each week only 24 of the 28 teams will play an official league game. One team has to have the 'bye' from each league. These 4 teams play randomly... and thus will eliminate 2 teams. So after 7 one day weeks their will be only 14 teams left in the 1day Cup and after 7 four day weeks their will only be 14 teams left in the 4day Cup.

For here I have three theories.
Option A!
R2: Give the two highest/lowest ranked teams in the correct game type(1day or 4day) a bye into the next round. And the remaining 12 teams will play one another to go down to the final 8 (2 given byes and 6 through round 2)
R3: Eight teams down to Four (done through seeding?)
R4: Four down to Final Two
R5: Final and Third Place?

Or Option B!
R2: Give the two highest highest or lowest ranking R1 losers a second chance into the R2 games... From 16 teams (14 winners and 2 second chance losers) down to 8teams
R3: Eight to 4
R4: Four to 2
R5: Final

Or Option C!
R2: Give the highest two teams from the previous seasons Cup, a second chance. This will be chosen through this method, (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, then the highest ranked R3 loser, etc..)
R3: Eight to 4
R4: Four to 2
R5: Final

Well how about that?

Season 5 DRAFT!
Award points thus...
FOR EACH LEAGUE(1day and 4day):

Won divisional league: 10pts
Second: 7pts
Third: 5pts
Fourth: 3pt
Fifth: 2pts
Sixth: 1pt
Seventh: 0pts

Also points for which division:
First Div: 6pts
Second Div: 3pts
Third Div: 0pts

Thus coming Second in Div 2 is worth (7+3 = 10pts) while last in Div 1 is worth (0+6 = 6pts)

And also for the Cups:

First: 16pts
Second: 12pts
Third: 9pts
Fourth: 7pts
R3 loser: 4pts
R4 loser: 2pts
R5 loser: 0pts

Example:
1Day league: Div 2 5th = (5pts)
1Day cup: R5 loser = (0pts)
4Day league: Div 3 2nd = (7pts)
4Day cup: Fourth = (2pts)
TOTAL = 5+0+7+2 = 14pts

haha some1's been doing a hell of alot of thinking. i had to read over it 3 times to fully understand what the hell u were on about. but i think Option A is definitely teh way to go!

 

[Slats4ever]

is it just me or does this not make any sense

 

[marc71178]

Since there's 30 teams it's a complete wate of time reading it!

 

[Blewy]

Yeah you guys are reading way to much into this dropping of teams issue...

IT AINT GONNA HAPPEN...

Not until i get a good reason, and im confident at the moment the trouble teams will get managers who are committed, if not ill take one myself....

 

[marc71178]

The way I see it, we could have 2 dedicated men coming in in the next few days anyway!

 

[Blewy]

Yes and im confident from the quick reply from our Guyana manager to his email he is also very keen...

 

[Cloete]

yeha also Craig and Mr.Ponting will be reliable. as both r constanlty on teh forum.

 

[Paid The Umpire]

It should be done... for two reasons...

** Shorten the season... 28weeks + VB cup is too long. (that is longer than the AFL!)

** At least another team probably two will drop out before the end of the season...

 

[marc71178]

Firstly, it's only 20 weeks plus the VB (which is going midweek from next year) which isn't too long, and second, what makes you so sure we'll lose some people - we've only really had the 2 weak spots, and they're both now in the hands of people I honestly believe will remain in the game for a long time.
