The fixtures for all three domestic competitions are listed above and should all be correct.

The first class competition will be run one of the following ways:
Option 1
Rounds 1 through 7 everyone plays everyone
Round 8 is Major Semi: 1st vs 2nd, Minor Semi: 3rd vs 4th
Round 9 is Loser of the Major vs Winner of the Minor
Round 10 is Winner of the Major vs Winner of the Prelim

Option 2
Rounds 2 through 8 everyone plays everyone (This gives people a chance to see the talent)
Round 9 is 1st vs 4th, 2nd vs 3rd
Round 10 is the winner of the two semis.

Option 3
Rounds 2 through 8 everyone plays everyone (This gives people a chance to see the talent)
Round 9 is 2nd vs 3rd
Round 10 is the winner of the Prelim final vs 1st place

I am leaning towards Option 1 taking Round 1 off probably isn't that necessary.



The One Day Cup will be interesting as there's 7 teams so it could be run one of the following ways:
Option 1
- The matches get split into threes so there is 7 rounds.
- We have two groups of 4 and everyone plays everyone in the first three rounds.
- The top two from each group create a new group of 4 (Like a Super 4s comp)
- Everyone plays everyone once in those three rounds
- The top 2 sides in that group play a final in Round 7
- This can be replicated minus the final for the bottom four sides

Option 2
- The matches get split into 5 rounds. 4, 4, 4, 4, and 5.
- We have two groups of 4, everyone plays everyone once in the first three rounds.
- The top two sides from each group progress and play semis.
- The winning sides play a final in Round 5 which spans the final 5 matches of the season.
- Round 5 will also have a 3rd vs 4th, 5th vs 6th, 7th vs 8th match

I don't have a preference for this one



The T20 Big Bash can be run the following ways:
Option 1
- Everyone plays everyone once from Round 1 through 7.
- 1st vs 2nd, 3rd vs 4th, 5th vs 6th, 7th vs 8th in Round 8

Option 2
- Because right now when the games get split into 4s there are period where we have about 1 hour from the end of one round to the start of the next (1 to 2 and 4 to 5) we could split the game the following way: 6, 6, 6, 6, 8
- Two groups of 4. after 3 rounds the top 2 teams from each group play semis. Then the final spans 8 matches and should be a great high scoring contest

Option 3
- Similar to Option 2 except we split: 6, 4, 4, 6, 6, 6 OR 6, 6, 6, 6, 4, 4 to again avoid rounds ending/beginning in the middle of days where two games are played.
- We have two groups of 4 again, after three round the top 2 from each group form a new group (Super 4s).
- Everyone plays everyone once there and the winners are those that finish top of that group

2 or 3 would be my favourite options here.




Overall, I think it would be cool if we had three different fixture structures for the three comps, which is why I'm against Option 1 for the Big Bash. Interested to hear people's thoughts.

Ok, seeing as no one is replying, I will propose this:

First Class we pick Option 1 listed above
One Day Cup we pick Option 2 listed above
Big Bash we pick Option 3 list above with a 6, 4, 4, 6, 6, 6, split.

Sorry didn't see this at all..  For me Option 2 for all of them would be my preference.

Sorry didn't see this at all..  For me Option 2 for all of them would be my preference.

I agree, I think option 2 is the best for all of them.

[BB67th]

I'm with you PB, option 1, 2 and 3 for the 3 comps, I think having a bit of variety between thme would be good.

[PowerBug]

Sorry guys that haven't voiced their opinion, executive decision here says the First Class competition will take Option 1.


The other two though I still want to hear more voices :)

[Scrads]

My vote is

OD: Option 1
Big Bash: Option 3

:)

[PowerBug]

We will go with Option 2 for the OD Cup.


Due to HGA the T20 is a mix of 2 and 3 which is explained in the rules.

Yeah looks good. I like option 3 for the T20 comp :)
