'World Cup 2011' Draft

NUFAN

Y no Afghanistan flag
Nope.

If Virender Sehwag scores 76 runs then it will be counted like this :

49 points for first 49 runs
50 points for next 25 runs
6 points for next 2 runs
---------------------------------------
105 points for 76 runs
Plus the 50 bonus though for scoring 50..

I'm not a real fan of the 'batting bonus' section because you are being rewarded twice really. Everything else sounds fine.

Yeah, I'd say that either make all runs as important as each other and reward milestones. Or have the weighted run scoring. Not both.
Also thought some of the punishments for SR were pretty harsh.

They score fifties and raise the bat. They score hundred and raise the bat. I don't see anything wrong in giving them those extra 50 or 100 for the hard work. Player missing out on a hundred wont get those 100 bonus points, so thats why those triple points per run from 75 to 99 is important.

Lets see what others have to say as well. If majority of players don't prefer the milestone bonus then I will remove it.

Since it's kk's draft, The rules are his choice. However, I'd prefer it if there was no milestone bonus.

Not entirely convinced the milestone draft is the best idea personally. Assuming that the 100-point batting bonus includes the 50 points laready given for reaching 50, it still seems stupid that a batsman who gets to 100 and gets out the ball after gets 50 more points than a batsman who loses his wicket for 98. Overall i feel that this should be another very good draft however.

Lets all agree on something and get started already. It's almost the 23rd. Also, the unteamed guys need to make active efforts to team up already, IMO.

Sorry, I will correct it.

Also I think its too late to correct all the things. The toughest part will be to COUNT point on daily basis. weldone's draft lost the charm cause weldone could not find the time of counting price of players etc in his draft and we had to end it somewhere in between.

This time I have developed the script which will count ALL the points once I submit the scorecard manually so that will save hell lot of time of me as well.

I thought we had enough teams already, or were we moving towards everyone being in a team?

I had very little cash left in that draft if I remember right. I did have some really amazing players in my side though.

1. kingkallis
2. NUFAN & marc71178
3. M0rphin3
4. morgeib & Himmanv
5. Howe_zat & Teja

9. Prince EWS
10. G.I.Joe & Marcuss
11. Micheal7777777 & Contra
12. Cevno
13. HeathDavisSpeed & Flyonthewall

I actually really like the big bonuses. Partly because they might make the games a bit more exciting to follow - I might care a hell of a lot more about ten Doeschate getting out for 49 against Ireland if he could earn me a bunch more points on his next run.

More than that, it means people won't be tempted to pick bit-and-pieces players in the hunt for all-round points, you'd be much more inclined to go for specialists who can get five-fors or hundreds. Which adds some more interesting tactics to it.

Regardless, we need to get this moving quickly and keep it going, so we ought ot keep the script that's already done.

kingkallis wanted 12 teams, and we had 14. We needed two more pairings for that.

1. kingkallis

3. M0rphin3
4. morgeib & Himmanv

With PEWS gone (knew he would chicken out once he figured I would bring my A game to this), we have 13 teams. If a couple out of Cevno, weldone, weeman27bob, M0rphin3 and kingkallis could pair up, we'd have a nice 12 teams. All upto you now, kingkallis.

I think the people not wanting to team up aren't realising how tough it'll be to make regular picks on a 6 hour per pick schedule. You could easily lose out on 3 or 4 good players if you happen to be offline for the duration of your window.
