Bonus Point System and Bye Weeks

[Fenil]

Whoa! Thats too harsh on batsmen for getting out on a duck, isn't it?

You can always not play your star player if you don't want the risk, but in most cases the stats boost should balance things out.

I'm kind of confused here - if a star player, who is a pure bowler gets out for a duck batting at 11 then why should he lose 2 rating points?

Because your real batters failed him.

PCPL3 was simmed using CS09, a T20 sim. We surely can't get 12.0 E/R in CricSim.

One off instance maybe.

Okay, we'll sim the first round and judge from there if it is suitable. Likewise if the duck thing occurs too often I'll find another way of penalising - perhaps a slow run rate?

 

[Gaurav_7]

Duck is alright, I think. It's random. E/R thing is also fine, should be 8 or 9 at max though.

 

[barmyarmy]

Ah I assumed you meant in their specialty. Once again star bowlers lose out as star batters won't bowl.

You'd be surprised what Cricsim will do.

 

[barmyarmy]

You just fill me full of confidence.

 

[Gaurav_7]

You'd be surprised what Cricsim will do.

Yeah, ha ha. Especially, when the bowling averages of all the batsmen won't be set to 99.

 

[MattW]

Well the reasoning is that the star player is your huge signing, the points impact is part of that - your star player is the attention grabber, if they perform well they should bring the whole team up and gain lots of bonus points - but if they do badly they suffer equally.

It's a gamble you can take with your team selection - again, you don't have to play the star player.

 

[Sartaj]

Unless it's a poor pitch,9 out of 10 times,you won't lose more than 6-7 wickets in a 35 over match,not with the usual ratings at least.

Constantly losing
10 Bonus points for losing 5 matches in a row.

The Dosas influenced this, I know it.

 

[hedger_14]

Well just deduct the points from his batting, then his bowling isn't affected
