Season 5 - The Academy

[Simon]

The Academy series will kick off in the next few weeks and it looks as though we have managers for every team now!
The Outline is as follows

14 teams

Each team will play each other in 1d and 4d

Rookies will be guaranteed a minimum of 7 games each

Teams will be based in various cities around the world, including Cairo, Olso,
Berlin to name a few.

Academy managers will have the same control over sides as normal managers do, just without a draft and trading

Academy managers will be contacted in the next 48 hours to confirm their teams.

if anyone needs more info let me know..

cheers
Simon and the WCC Board

South America misses out . where's the rainbow of tolerance when you need it

 

[Simon]

South America isnt on WCC's hit list at the moment. We are looking to expand the game in european, asian and north american places that we feel we can establish a strong hold....
A few more Asian sides just missed out on a team this time round and we went with Cairo and Oslo instead...

I feel sorry for Kenya. I thought Nairobi would be a big chance for the academy.

maybe next year, but this year we decided to go with some places that havent seen much cricket that would benefit the most....

Nothing of the sort. You just picked cities that have hosted the Olympics, pretty lazy Simon, only effort you put in was finding out where Denver is...
