Battrick Group Draw

[Saj]

I was asked by Straight Bat to pick 2 groups of 10 teams from the 20 teams that have entered the competition. No seeding system, no backhanders either :)

Note I have not played Battrick nor do I know the strengths of each of the competing teams.

The draw was made by my 2 daughters :-

Group A

TomCats
Mohsin786
Beckton
What a Team
Hamblin International XI
India rules
Paindus
Faraz XI
Khan Tigers
The Extreme Team

Group B

Sohrabs Legends
MCMLXXXII
Pakiblitz
Pakistan Heroes
BDS dentists
Pakistani Pwnage
Karachi Blues
SD Topstars
Haroon United
Mighty Geese

Group b looks really tough, whereas in group a i think india rules owes your daughters a present each as he should fly through.

[Straight Bat]

Thanks a lot Saj, I will get working on the fixture list now.

Yeah, can't wait for group B games. Going to be a challenge!!

this is my first PP tournament after pulling out 2 years in a row and I'm excited after seeing that group!


Edit: hari, I'm doing group A fixtures at the moment so when you have time can you do group B? Thanks.

[The Godfather]

damn again i get a tough group oh well i will try to do what i did last season .

[umarbeast]

Yeah same here Haroon. But I will thrive on the competiton

[Iqbal'sh]

I used a fixture scheduler helper from t'internet to come up with fixtures for both groups. Might save you some work. Looks ok to me.....

[Straight Bat]

Cheers Iqbal, I already did the fixtures for one group but will use that for otehr one as its quicker.

[Hari Sombar]

Wow, thx to Saj's daughters I have the supposed easier group

[Hari Sombar]

Many thanks to Iqbal'sh, I will be using this to post the fixtures

[Hari Sombar]

I've been looking at the teams and Beckton and The Extreme Team do not exist

Can you get 2 replacement teams Hari ?

[iZeeshan]

Saj, I hate your daughters.

[MCMLXXXII]

very tough group B. I don't expect to get to the next round.

Well it will be more competitive this way!

[Hari Sombar]

Im not sure really, Im trying to catch sb to have a talk but we keep avoiding each other.

[Hari Sombar]

Saj, I hate your daughters.


I know thats a joke, but sounds harsh

[iZeeshan]

I know thats a joke, but sounds harsh
:)) I prolly should have added a smiley, but that would also take away the harsh effect. I don't think I'll go thru.

[Straight Bat]

Will either have to be 2 groups of 9 or 1 group of 8 and one of 10. take a pick guys...

[iZeeshan]

2 groups of 9

[Straight Bat]

if we go for that, as both teams are in Group B how will we decide who moves from A to B?

Or is a repick more appropriate?

[Hari Sombar]

the prob with that is that there will always be a team without a pp friendly

[Hari Sombar]

So if we go with zeeshan, Saj will decide a team to be moved from group B to A

[Hari Sombar]

Everyone agree ?

[iZeeshan]

Top 4 go thru right?

[iZeeshan]

if we go for that, as both teams are in Group B how will we decide who moves from A to B?

Or is a repick more appropriate?
I would go for a repick just because I am biased, but one should just randomly move over.

[Hari Sombar]

Top 4 go through, were going to ask saj to do a random move over

[Straight Bat]

Group A

TomCats
Mohsin786
What a Team
Hamblin International XI
India rules
Paindus
Faraz XI
Khan Tigers
BDS dentists

Group B

Sohrabs Legends
MCMLXXXII
Pakiblitz
Pakistan Heroes
Pakistani Pwnage

These are the new groups, Saj randomly picked for BDs Dentists to be moved from group B to A

[iZeeshan]

This will be VERY interesting.

[Saj]

Saj, I hate your daughters.
They arent too keen on you either :P

[iZeeshan]

They arent too keen on you either :P
Of course, they put me in such a hard group! I don't think they like MCM or SB either.

[Hari Sombar]

On the other hand, they love me :D

[iZeeshan]

On the other hand, they love me :D
I guess. But you are Indian, so I don't know why or how that would work :). Unless...

[Hari Sombar]

[Saqlain_doosra]
