Like someone said, people don't have time. So why do the whole day thing?
What's the fun in that?

Its either too much work for Rizzy, or its not.


It seems like a convenient thing to say when no one wants the deadlines decreased.

I never said either. If Rizzy is okay doing it, then let him. If he has a problem, then he'll change the way he does things.

I for one, don't mind the deadlines.

M-Th FC games, Fri OD games, Sat/Sun strategy. There should be a set calendar.

I guess I'm the insane one on these forums then.


Because it seems like I'm the only one thinking that following the same exact schdule as real cricket, ie, playing cricket over 4 days in real life, and having strategies for 2 days like real cricket is absurd.

Most of the people on these forums don't even have time to watch real cricket for 4 days straight!

Sure, its Rizzy's league and I'm glad to be part of it, but this thread is here for a reason. To suggest things to improve the league, am i right?

1. Why? It allows the league to build suspense instead of just creating a mashup of scores that basically inundate the forum. Sim the games yourself then!

2. What does that have to do with this league?

Do you remember the first day of the FC match?

Rizzy posted the 3 sessions in a couple of hours, and that was quite awesome. Everyone was online, and that built some proper suspense.

Thats what I think most of us want again. No one asked the results of 4 days to be posted in 1 minute.

You know what one of the biggest problems with test cricket? Having to wait 5 days for the result. Not because its boring, or there might be a draw at the end, but the really long wait.

I don't understand why we have the same wait....for a simmed match.

He'll tell them to get out of the league, or tell them to go do it themselves. Or even threaten to leave?

I agree with Blitz on the fact that the games don't need to posted over 4 days. You could reduce it over 2 days if you still want that suspense, that would probably be the ideal length of an FC game to be posted imo anyways.

He is just giving an example if people don't bother watching "proper cricket for 4 days why would they bother with fantasy cricket?!

Personally i think having fc match over 2 days will create more interest and excitement.

I would back this.

2 days is preferable. And if you want real tension and drama, but also a rest, do it on a sat/sun.


That way you can have 4 days of rest, with one of the weekdays hosting 1 OD match. And you can also give 3 days for strategy.

Everyone wins.

1. More tension and drama.
2. More people involved with weekend matches.
3. More 'rest' for Rizzy.
4. Faster results, yet the league would still be the same length.
5. People would complain less

Nobody would want to wait 3 days just to come up with a strategy... looking at how people complained in your match thread against the Outlawz.

Plus in my opinion shortening the deadlines for strategy, say maybe 1 day would make it much more interesting as then everyone would be under-pressure to come up with a strategy quickly and submit the team, etc. quickly. On top of that it wouldn't give people any time to complain.

Just my 2 cents, you could completely ignore it if you want.

Isn't this what he's been doing? 3 sessions in 6 hours?

I didn't say that because I'm scared of Rizzy. I said that if all you want are results and stats then just sim the games yourself and enjoy it that way!

I honestly don't care either way, I just don't get why there's been so much complaining. Although, I don't see how sessions could be posted quicker or more sessions in a day (6 instead of 3) would hurt. We could have 2 FC games and 2 OD games in one week.

You wanna put your house on 4 days winning?



That was my point earlier, and something Inswinger has said many times. People are so scared of Rizzy for some reason, they're not saying anything.

A private poll would eliminate this 'fear'.

No you're right, I'm sorry.

I've given it a thought, and it really does make sense to me if we have 2 FC and 2 OD games a week, if it's possible.

Instead of posting one session at a time, Rizzy can post two.

My bad... i was supposed to say a couple hours between the days so 1 day posted and another a few hours later. But i suppose 2 days would be the best for fc matches

Yeah, I think 4 days is excessive.

2 days would be optimum. Still, it depends on the person simming games.

Can you take a poll?


Or do you need King Rizzy's permission for that as well.

You just don't get it do you?

It seems as though you're intent on ruining this competition. You're trying to dictate and put things in people's heads, and all of a sudden they want these things, only because you said them, not because they actually were thinking and wanting them initially. This is what I meant by bandwagoning.

I must say, you're doing a fine good job of ruining this though. There are ways of saying and doing things, your approach is just bullcrap. You make a lot of good points, it's just the way you do it that annoys me. It's your bullish approach, which makes me just reject the things you say. Try being a bit nicer and I might well just take some of the things you say into consideration.

If you want to dictate, do it in another part of a forum, because it's not welcome PPCL.

You think I'm someone from Inception?

I haven't done one thing to insult you, but you have in countless posts already.

Everyone has their own mind. Hence why I'm requesting a poll.



However, I do aplogise to everyone who I have brainwashed. I'm sorry. I shall try not to do it again, and hope you forgive me.


P.S. Why would I want to ruin the tournament. The tournament is very good, and I'm glad to be part of it. I just feel it can be improved, and thats what this thread is about, right?

Reading over it, the 2 day consensus wasn't even my idea:

I actually jumped on Boi's bandwagon.

Make the same suggestion once or twice is OK, but then continually banging on about it, it's no longer a suggestion, especially if it's been rejected.

Whilst Boi might've suggested it initially, you''re the one pushing it madly.

Posting a 4 day FC match in 2 days will make things boring. Sure, it'll create a great buzz for a few games, then after that, it'll start getting boring because of overkill. Why go for a short term buzz and harm the competition in the long run when you can go for the steady approach and in the long run it keeps the competition healthily running.

If I post a 4 day FC in 2 days (meaning 2 days of the match being posted in single day), then I'm sure not doing it session by session, as that will mean having to post a total of 24 sessions across all 4 matches, I'll be posting an entire day in 1 post without making things bold and without putting scorecards up until the very end of the match, as I'm not sitting around all day just to post PPCL matches. Remember, I run this competition out of my free time, I don't actually make time for this competition or forum.

But hey, go ahead and make your poll, I'll do whatever the outcome of the poll is and we'll see what happens from there on in. I've given my reasons, now it's up to you guys.

I had lots of other ideas for this forum with similar competitions like this, but judging by the patience of people on here, I'm not going to risk getting the other people on here to run stuff like this if things remain the way they are.

Like I said, its very unfair on you to do all this. I certainly wouldn't have the time or patience. But you could ask someone to help you. Pakpassion has a lot of great people, and they can post for you.


No need to argue though, its your league, and you should run it like you want. I just wished you'd have told us suggestions weren't welcome.


Sorry for all the trouble.

I like your point there. Rizz could send the file to people he trusts like Usama or Shayan and then they could add their own commentary to it to make it more fun. We used to do this in the PPL and the commentary was the backbone of the tournament.

Let King Rizzy run his league, this is the first league I've been a part of and I am finding it very enjoyable. It is all good and well to post suggestions, but trying the bully him into making changes is out of order. Running the league is a lot of work, and done for the benefit for us. The Bulls haven't won a game, and we aren't complaining.

Well, the best thing to do would be for each party to compromise...... somehow.

Maybe change the format for a while and then see the outcome, won't hurt as we can change back to the original format anytime.

King_Rizzy, I think 2 days are still optimum. I am not being forced into having this opinion by Blitz or anyone else.

I remember running FC matches in this very forum with proper commentary (not copy/paste) and I didn't take 4 days!

I ensure you people will not be getting bored.

It's fine if you find you won't have enough time. That is an entirely different issue and one you have a right to judge. I don't agree with the other reasons, though.

Gonna try a test run tonight and post Day 4 of the current FC matches as well.

Also OD match threads will go up today, with a 1 day deadline.

Let's see if this works. Don't get me wrong, I want what's best for the comepetition as well, and whilst I know a thing or two about this competition, I could be wrong about things, hence the reason for testing. If it works, good, if it doesn't, then meh, we'll keep doing it the way it's been done up until now.

Sorry for being lazy for not searching post here ...

1) Will mid season trading happen?

2) Will you allow mid season contract changing or it remains constant for whole season?

3) if not above then can we at least change one- two different type of players within same team in mid season?

Thanks.

1) Any new players wishing to join will have to wait until the end of the current season.

2) Yes there is a points table, but it seems as though you've already found it.

3) What more info do you need?
