Cric Sim Competition

[rickyp]

Just a question for the mods or admins or whoever reads this

Have you ever thought of starting a Cricsim competition, you may have seen it on bigfooty.com or bigcricket.com. Either way Ill tell you how it works

There is this program that spits out ball by ball commentary of cricket games that are simmed, you can use the standard programs teams or create your own. You create teams with members from planetcricket in them and have a whole season and teams and trades and rosters and everything, just like real cricket. I am in a team of Bigfooty and Bigcricket and find it great fun and very capturing.

If you are interested in starting this i would happily set it up (i.e. teams, sim games, make rosters, fixtures etc...) In My Opinion this would be a great success on planet cricket as of the large amount of frequent members and interest in the site and its features.

(Hope this hasnt already been done as i couldnt be bothered checking first)

Thanks for your input rickyp,

Planetcricket already has a fantasy cricket competition which is integrated with the forum and easy to use. Here is the link: http://www.planetcricket.org/forums/fantasy-cricket.php
It is really fun to play, so you can check it out yourself.

I have seen CricSim competitions on other sites (run by VirtualCricket etc) and I agree that they are successful. Not sure if we need two different cricket comps on PlanetCricket.

Just my 5 cents,
Duffarama

i agree duff that 2 fantasy cricket comps is a lot BUT the current one is not nearly as involving as the cricsim version. If anyone plays in a cricsim league please give your input.

http://www.bigcricket.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=27 - Have a look at this one from bigcricket, its only just started btw, ill give the bigfooty link when the site is done its upgrades - they have been going for years now

Ive never seen this before,and I have a couple of questions

Is this based on the actual matches that occur on TV ?

If yes,how is it different frm Fantasy Cricket?

If no,What is it then in brief ?

its a completely different thing.

(read my post above for my description)

You create your own teams filled with planet cricket members, then sim the games with them in it and you get ball by ball commentary of the matches.

You can make fixtures and many teams, have ladders, tournaments and many different options, Check out the bigcricket link for an example (look under one of the matches).

It is really involving i have found. Sorry my descriptions might not make any sense so i ask anyone who has played this before to give their views on it

I'm actually in the bigcricket one as rickyp and squiz will know
Its pretty cool, lots of bragging, rumours, drug scandals ....etc. Its quite cool.

 

[rickyp]

it is great, it would definently work well on planet cricket aswell coz of the large amount of members, thats been the problem with bigcricket - not enough members to post.

BTW, i would gladly organise it all, since my summer hols have just started and am looking for something to do inbetween my actual cricket matches

they might have used trial and error method

I beleive from what I can gather that the software or whatever it is called itself simulates the matches etc.

They're done using Cricsim, which spits out ball by ball commentary as well

Basically the captains just draft players (members) who are in one of a few categories (pure bat, non pure bat [bowls a bit], all rounder, bowling all rounder etc.) which have fixed predetermined averages for each category, then put the teams in the simulator. Essentially what it amounts to is just talking a lot of crap between matches

its a program

it spits out ball by ball commentary about a match from start to finish. What you do is post the commentary so everyone can see exactly how they went, ill upload the program in 2 secs when i get it.

Thanks

muck around with this and see what you think
try making teams and setting averages and everything - if you cant be bothered, check this out and see what it will look like once up and running - http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=36
