2014 ICC World T20 fantasy league

Right then, so how does this format work?

Can we pick 11 players in the Group Stage, then change the team before the Super 10s are played?

I thought about (and that's what i'd prefer) but i think i'll do just 11 players for the whole tournament as i'm not sure how many users know players from the likes of Nepal, Hong Kong, UAE etc.

Still got a few days to decide on this format so it depends on what everyone wants...

I don't mind any.Whatever the mods and organizer decides.

[Arthur Crabtree]

The matches I've looked at start about 9am.

Matches are 9.30 or 13.30. England's are the latter.

[meninblue]

I think in the past, the selections have counted for the whole competition.

At the moment, one team will be picked for the whole tournament (preliminary + Super10 onward) but that would probably only mean most users having 0, 1 or 2 players from the preliminary round so it might be better to have 2 separate teams so points will be scored from the first match onward.

I think i'll do a quick vote, anyone that's interested in taking part in this FL select an option:

Option 1: 1 team for the whole tournament.
Option 2: 1 team for the preliminary round and 1 team for the Super10 onward.

Option 1

[Alviro Patterson]

I like the sound of option 2; after all a third of the World T20 matches are group stage ones and selecting Associate Nations players to begin with sound a load of fun.

[andy]

i think one team for the whole tournament, to be honest..

[meninblue]

I am very likely to go with couple of associate nation players which i have shortlisted so far although i have opted for option 1.

However, i hope the final decision is taken soon, whatever it may be.

So far it's 4-1 to the 1st option. Will make a decision later tonight but it looks like it will be a 1 team tournament.

[GGAS]

Assuming first option...

Samuel Badree
James Faulkner
Yuvraj Singh
Angelo Mathews
Shahid Afridi
Mohammed Hafeez
Mohammed Nabi
Nasir Hossain
George Dockrell
Shane Watson
Glenn Maxwell

stick with option 1 otherwise it all gets much more complicated

[Durhamfootman]

option 1 for me too

anything to do with associates would just be a player list, a blindfold and a pin

far too complicated a procedure. especially when England and Pakistan get knocked out in the prelims

a separate comp for the associate sides would be okay, but I wouldn't have a 2 part FL, not for the same format, with the same squads

[dan08]

Option 1 it is. Pick 1 squad for the whole tournament.

Squads containing players from the preliminary round to be in before 16th, squads containing just players from the 8 Super10 teams to be in for the 21st.

I guess teams containing players from associates have to be submitted before toss time. Matches starting on 16th at 3 P.M. IST.Toss would be half hour early at 2:30 P.M.
