[Alviro Patterson]

Haven't had time to work out a team yet : but a thought occurs to me ...

I see the logic of allowing people to select Associate players early (extra points , extra risk , etc) ... But eventually two of those teams will qualify for the Main Game.

Question : Should not posters who have not previously submitted teams be then allowed to include Associate Players from those teams before the main event cut off ? ( The posts above suggest that won't be allowed) Obviously they won't score their points for the preliminary rounds - and I can see that might make the calculations a bit trickier - but really from that point the players from , say , Bangladesh and Afghanistan will be in the same situation as those from the "big" teams ; and it seems a little unfair to bar posters from selecting them ...

I guess you could say they have more "exposed form" : but is that so different from other teams' warm ups ?

I probably won't want any Associate players myself so really don't mind all that much , but perhaps we ought to consider this ?

A very valid point Alfie. Reading between the lines I think the original selection policy was more to do with preventing participants entering associate players midway through the Group Stage to pick up points for a round or two.

Very fast calculations

I have lost Sean Williams as Zimbabwe fail to qualify for super 10, however he did score 228 points.

365 is far ahead due to some wisely selected players from Afghanistan. Only some superb picks will help get ahead of him.

Chuffed with my Nabi selection

has worked out very well! Must admit I was thinking of Nabi and Shahzad, as well as Sean Williams and Hamilton Masakadza but I couldn't work out which team would progress to the main tournament so I steered clear.

Only regret so far is Rankin

[Durhamfootman]

Your Afghans have certainly done the business for you thus far. Even if they get creamed by the other teams in the super 10's, you've probably got enough points out of them

compliments on your knowledge of Afghan players
