I was going through the Draw when I found a certain post from Frodo that brought interest. To hold an FA cup type competition during the season. So I've decided to hold a Test Knockout competition named the Kapow Cup (Hey, I run it so why can't I have it named after me?)

This will be taking place after Round 7 of the season (1 Knockout round to be played after each season round. Coz the competition has lost interest I thought to add this in to regenerate the interest of people. Coz it has become quite stagnate.

I'll release the draw for this competition on Monday. To make it more interesting, these will be the changes I will make:

* 9 Day Matches
* All Matches will be played on Batters Wickets

So basically a slogfest with practically no hope of declaration.

The problem is that the games happen so infrequently, it is hard to keep track of when we're playing. You can spend 2 weeks checking this forum and waiting and nothing, then you skip 2-3 days and all of a sudden a whole test match was played. How is anyone meant to get into the spirit of this comp?

I think most of us will welcome this knockout comp with open arms, good luck with it.
 
How about we concentrate on getting the tests and one-dayers done first? I'd rather you take over the one-dayers, so we can get through this torturously slow season first.

The Hitman

The Draw:

Darkness Eternal vs Big V @ Dark Park

Crocodiles vs Allies @ Croc Park

Queenslander vs New South Wales @ GABBA

Vics vs West Coast Warriors @ MCG

I'll post the thread required to post your teams on. There is a time limit of 24 hours to get teams in, otherwise I just use the teams from Round 5 of the Test Series!

Oh and Masey, if this gets in the way of the one-dayers when you put them up, I'll halt play!

Hahaha. No chance of getting in the way with one 1-day round in over two months.

Could we have this sort of competition mid-week during this season?

Yes this current competition has 12 teams, but it could go like this:

(Current Spots on the ladder)
1st week
1:5th v 12th
2:6th v 11th
3:7th v 10th
4:8th v 9th

2nd week
1st v Winner 1
2nd v Winner 2
3rd v Winner 3
4th vs Winner 4

Semi Finals

Final

I like the slogfest idea! :thumbsu:

Each 9 day game to be played on the one day, so it doesn't take up too much time.

This would be an okay idea. It would be better if we included teams from the other forums but this would create further problems.
 
I like the idea, but I'd like it more if I was a batsman
Perhaps we could have a Wicket Fest aswell :D
and maybe even a reward for the player who gets the most runs and the player who gets the most wickets in the series.. like bonus stats or something? Just an idea but it would make it pretty interesting
 
This weird, I don't remember this thread at all but just yesterday I had the thought of putting up the ideea for a Test knockout cup.

It's a great idea, I don't really like the idea of the top sides getting a bye but with 12 sides I don't know how else you could do it with just our teams though.

If you bring in other comps then it'd be crap if one of them won our cup.

Will it now be called the EddieSmith trophy?

A Knockout 16 team comp between the BigEtc. forums?

Would be difficult. A lot of the BigCricket players play here and would be forced to choose between teams.

In memory of the great man himself Rave Slave anyone?

Yeah the trophy should be Rave crucified on a cross in memory of what they did to him.

With Cat_Flying_High crying at his feet & a certain unnamed FC personality counting his pieces of silver.

I could be flaoting somewhere above representing God.

That's interesting, I was under the impression that the ******** who sold Rave out didn't play FC.

Certainly gets the thumbs up from me.

I'm sure you know more than me I was just going on what someone said on here at the time.

That's why I was careful not to mention any names.;)

Easy, like the old AFL system where instead of the bye, they get a double chance

1 v 12 etc and after the first round the 2 highest placed losers get a 2nd chance or you could even give the 2 highest place winners a bye to the prelim and then have 4 teams playing off in the semis
