Activity for one day cricket is not purely being measured by posts anymore. This measure is on trial for our First Class competitions as a potential addition for Season 10 but it's only being used in OD cricket for Season 9. It's being put in place to reduce the incentive for spam. I'm not going to tell you exactly how it works but reading the forum regularly and contributing to discussions where you see fit will qualify you as active even if you aren't making 50 one-line posts per day.

If I told everyone how it worked, people could rig it, so I'm not going to.

All you need to know is that posting five-word +1 type posts really isn't going to be much more useful than just reading that thread in the first place.

My bad. I dare say Marcuss would rip up because he has some huuge yarns and massive arguments.

Stormer · Jan 18, 2010

Probably get points for characters posted, more for new threads etc etc.

But then people who read his dire arguments get the activity counted as well...

El Nino · Jan 18, 2010

Could be time spent online IMO

MASTERS · Jan 18, 2010

probably a bit of both

Yeah I wondered if that had something to do with it. I would say that there should still be some reward for posting though. As if not people could just come online and not actually contribute to the forum and be awesome.

HeathDavisSpeed · Jan 18, 2010

Word count is surely the best way to go.

If that was the case just reading the forum would have no reward, which I am under the impression it will.

Or one could post huge articles all the time.

BigDougy · Jan 18, 2010

It's all about to get very interesting then.

I think it will be a combination of posts, quantity of replies to posts time spent on the forum.

All speculation of course, as we will never, ever find out.

Julian · Jan 19, 2010

*likes the NSW country idea.

dont think so, would take to much to work out all the time and if will be readily available to everyone it will just be one thing. vBulliten has capabilities for time spent online, thats why i think its that.

Should be a ranking on subforum activity...

Incey · Jan 19, 2010

So how quickly are all these rankings coming into place etc?

Also, where is the thread where we said weather we were City or Country? Season 9 contract thread?

Yeah, you declared one or the other when you signed a contract.

Scheduling

All matches will be given a broadcast date. This is designed to ensure the season flows at a good rate and to let people know when they're playing.

There will be two full rounds per week; meaning the main part of the season will go for approximately nine weeks, and then be followed by the representative season.

No games will be scheduled for Saturdays. Firstly because I'm often quite busy on Saturdays and won't be able to post let alone sim, and secondly because it gives me a chance to reschedule games for then if I get slightly behind.

Instead of broadcasting competition by competition, games will be broadcast by team. For example, March 1st may be merely assigned "Gamblers v Cyclones", in which case all three Gamblers v Cyclones game of the round (Horrigan Cup, Avo Lovers Cup and Bannerman Shield) would be broadcast on that day.

Keep in mind that the broadcast date and the simming date are not always the same thing, and that all lineups are due in 24 hours after all grades for your club in the specific format have been completed.

Five-Day Franchise Cricket

Stingrays

Cyclones

Vipers

Sticky Wickets

Pumas

Ravens

Crusaders

Gamblers

The Bannerman Shield (First XI) and Avo Lovers Cup (Second XI) competitions will run in exactly the same fashion they did in Season 8 other than the new scheduling.

One-Day Franchise Cricket

Stingrays

Cyclones

Vipers

Sticky Wickets

Pumas

Ravens

Crusaders

Gamblers

Please note the following rule changes only apply to one day cricket:

Franchises will be required to name teams of 12 rather than 11, with the 12th man being able to bowl, but not to bat.

Bowlers will be permitted to bowl a maximum of 10 overs rather than 9, however any five bowlers combined must not bowl more than 45 overs (ie. you still need five overs from your 6th bowler).

Simming averages will be very heavily weighted by recent activity. One day cricket is going to be a medium for players active at the time to taste first XI cricket. Activity before the season has started will be worth nothing and activity will be worth more as the season progresses.

Activity for one day cricket is not purely being measured by posts anymore. This measure is on trial for our First Class competitions as a potential addition for Season 10 but it's only being used in OD cricket for Season 9. It's being put in place to reduce the incentive for spam. I'm not going to tell you exactly how it works but reading the forum regularly and contributing to discussions where you see fit will qualify you as active even if you aren't making 50 one-line posts per day.

Having lost out on the new rule changes, allrounders will be treated more fairly in terms of simming averages and be more likely to hold their place as specialists in their primary discipline. An active allrounder will be a much better batsman than an inactive specialist batsman, for example.

The Horrigan Cup will run completely alongside the Bannerman Shield for the entirety of the season.

Five-Day Mid-Season Rep Cricket

New South Wales

Queensland

Victoria

Great Britain

New Zealand

State of Origin will run as normal - a three game series between New South Wales and Queensland.

The SportsTech Pacific Cup will also run as normal - a tri-series between Victoria, Great Britain and New Zealand with each team playing two games. However, this competition has been granted full representative status.

One-Day Mid-Season Rep Cricket

Sydney

NSW Country

Queensland

Victoria

Great Britain

New Zealand

The Rossleigh Trophy will run mid-season as a five-game-a-side round robin between the above six teams, and then a final will be held. It's been moved to align it with other rep games as I felt it just got in the way completely last season and felt out of place. New South Wales have been split up in this competition due to sheer player numbers. They're definitely being left as is in all other competitions though.

All rule changes mentioned in the "One-Day Franchise Cricket" section apply here.

Post-Season Rep Cricket

New South Wales

Queensland

Victoria

Great Britain

New Zealand

The Provincial Championship will run with New Zealand introduced for the first time. Each team will play each other once and then a final will be held.

CricSim North

CricSim South

CricSim North will play CricSim South in a three game series of a name TBA.

Rankings

Due to the increased inequity being created by the addition of the likes of New Zealand to full represented cricket and the increased number of representative games being played by all now as compared with the past, all rep games will be removed from five-day rankings. A player's ranking will reflect how he has performed in Five-Day Franchise Cricket (ie. the Bannerman Shield and the Avo Lovers Cup).

Typos

There are probably lots in this post tbh.
