NO MORE SIGN UPS AFTER 28th JAN AEST
Hello welcome to the Test match cricket series sign up here. Please note i will only accept 4 to 20 teams as this keeps in nice and even Your team will consist of 15 players, of which you can select the 11 you which to play each round (as long as you tell me, so i can put your correct team in). All teams start with the same skills and stats, and the scorinator will make your players skills better when the stats change at the end of the season so there is a even playing field, i will also keep the player stats for the season. The scorinator also does game delays i.e rain. There will be a bowling, batting award at the end of the year for the best player in that area.

What's the scorinator like, and how will RP bonus affect the scores?

The scorinator is a program created by Seydur Rahman. You can enter a players stats or leave set them all at a certain skill and over games and seasons the batsmen's stats and bowlers will increase. This scorinator doesn't have a RP bonus so has no effect on the scores.

kjo actually plays cricket so we will sign up. roster comes later.

Hey KJO that is fine just sumbit it in when your able to matey :]

Go South Africa in the ODI series! Lol, but I'll sign up for sure mate.

Ok ur in, the Aussies are playing very ordinary atm i rate em no.3 in the world after india and India in tests. AS for ODI's i think aus are still no.1 or 2nd to india. Duminy is a gun tho, go WARNER some new talent. When can you get ur roster in?

An RP bonus would, I'm sure, earn you more signups.

Is that when teams RP interviews and post matches? I guess i could put some points in for good RP'ing after each round.

First, a RP bonus is the point of sports competitions. If no RP bonus then there is no incentive to do match reports and it becomes a very boring tournament.

So yeh do something to get a RP bonus. It doesn't need to be big, just adding a few points for participating and a few more for good participation (long post, funny post, etc.) Reward people who take time out of their probably not so busy lives to write a report.

With that said, I'm in. Baseball players will have a lot of fun trying to understand this cricket thing.

I am in, will submit a roster later.

Any news on the RP bonus? It will decide whether or not I participate.

well if u read the first page it's in the intro

Can I ask how it matters to RP bonus if a team wins/loses/draws?

Well if you RP you can pick up 2-4 RPB points as RPB doesn't effect the actual in-game matches, so win lose or draw u can still earn points

If I read your answer right, the RP bonus won't actually affect the scores? How does that work then? That's the point of a bonus. Sorry if I seem like I'm interrogating you, just want to get this cleared up before I commit.

Well if you RP you can pick up 2-4 RPB points as RPB doesn't effect the actual in-game matches, so win lose or draw u can still earn points

If I'm reading correctly, I think you might be slightly confused over how an RP bonus operates.

An RP bonus shouldn't typically impact points earned on a tournament table for winning or losing a match, but rather increases a team's chances of winning a match.

For example, if two football/soccer teams are playing each other, and one RPs a lot, and the other doesn't, the RP bonus might increase the RP'ing team's chances of scoring more goals, but would give him any more points than the standard three points for winning the match.

Think of it this way... in a real life cricket tournament, Australia wouldn't get any more points on the table for the newspaper reports written in The Age, the Australian, or the Morning Herald, but it's conceivable that those same media reports might increase team morale and lead to the team scoring more runs (or for their bowlers to perform better - or both).

I hope that makes sense.

i know how they op but i dont have it made in my simulator, in this simulator if players play well there stats grow so there is no real point to have an in-game RPB taht affects scores because players grow in skills.

so when does this all get started?
