What are you talking about? It's Blue? easy to read.
Ok, all team lists should be updated in this thread, if you see any mistakes with prices, notify me and we can double check.
We're still missing Turner on your list in the OP, PB.
Apart from that, it's all good. :)
Ok I have double checked the team lists with my excel spreadsheet which had a backup of the lists and everything looks correct now :)

I'm not looking into retirements. It will be up to managers to de-list their players. A de-listing thread will be up in the coming weeks.

Alright the 2nd post in this thread is fully updated with the info you can see in the image above. If anyone has any positions they want changed just say so at any time then we can look into doing something about it :)
After (not so) extensive discussion, it has been decided by the D6s board of management (Which is just me, really :P) that the position of manager at SA Wombats will no longer be held by JBs-Hawks. Reason for the termination is general inactivty and neglect of team.
From now to the end of the season I will be taking over the position as manager. The position will be discussed come the end of the season. The rest of you were messaged about this and no one voiced any major concerns to this being the case. There will be more input required from the other 7 managers regarding league decisions now, to make sure that overall we are all happy (or at least content) with the decisions made.
Things to discuss during off season (Or before, if people are keen):
- Squad sizes (Possible cap change) and squad makeup (E.g. is it okay if team A was to own 5 keepers or Team B to own 15 Batsmen)
- Player Poaching (as was discussed Pre-Season 1, but now we'll have some numbers to look at)
- Performance reviews for managers (Having a proper warning system in place)
- Ability to keep the same T20 Contract players without going through the auction (Like how the BBL clubs generally keep the same Internationals each season, they don't go onto an open market)
- Naming of players for T20 Trophy (Change makeup, change number)
- Home Ground Advantage for T20 Trophy (I think it's too small currently)
- Scoring systems for OD Cup and FC Shield (General inquires)
- Re-naming of franchises for T20 Trophy (Cosmetic change)
- Possible sub rule?
They are listed in order of importance according to me. Feel free to discuss now if you want. Also note that anything that changes will begin from next season. E.g if the T20 player retention comes in next season all player swill be on an open market still, then from S3 the option will be available.
So with 2/3 competitions completed, here is the overall club standings, which in the end will determine the best performing team for the season.
OD T20 Total
NT 5 10 15
QLD 10 4 14
VIC 4 8 12
ACT 8 4 12
TAS 3 6 9
WA 6 1 7
NSW 2 2 4
SA 1 3 4
NT have the lead, QLD, VIC, ACT very close behind. Just for reference here is where we sit if we include the FC shield current standings:
OD T20 FC Total
VIC 4 8 8 20
QLD 10 4 5 19
NT 5 10 3 18
ACT 8 4 6 18
NSW 2 2 10 14
WA 6 1 4 11
TAS 3 6 1 10
SA 1 3 2 6
It's very tight for the run to the finish. With two rounds left in the shield and only 1 match seperating 8th and 4th, this can change around heaps still.
NSW will be happy that Clarke will be making a comeback :P

It's nothing more than BBL though. Not sure how this is news because this was always his plan to play cricket, it just won't be for Australia.
Don't think he ruled out playing first class, idk tho.
Things to discuss during off season (Or before, if people are keen):
- Squad sizes 16-18 and squad makeup Yes, as long as it won't go overboard
- Player Poaching If coaches didn't name players 50% of the time they played in a shield match they can be brought off that team for the price they paid for them. EG, Possums only played Tremain 3 times yet played 7 matches. Can be poached via reverse ladder waiver.
- Performance reviews for managers Yes, but nothing too bad. Lack of viable choices for coaches as is.
- Ability to keep the same T20 Contract players without going through the auction Nope, new set of players for every team, makes it more fun
- Naming of players for T20 Trophy Fine as is imo
- Home Ground Advantage for T20 Trophy Prefer if there was 0
- Scoring systems for OD Cup and FC Shield Perfectly fine
- Re-naming of franchises for T20 Trophy Most definitely, but naming each team to a rural/inland town of that state E.G Bendigo Storm (VIC) or Dubbo Miners (NSW)
- Possible sub rule? Yes, just in case a player is removed from a Shield game to play for Australia, the next EMG should come on for that player (Coach can decide weather to bring EMG on or use the half game player but in a certain time frame.
Things to discuss during off season (Or before, if people are keen):
- Squad sizes (Possible cap change) and squad makeup (E.g. is it okay if team A was to own 5 keepers or Team B to own 15 Batsmen) I don't think we need too many restrictions. Maybe a cap at 20 players and a minimum of 15 or something. Don't think theres much need to control positions.
- Player Poaching (as was discussed Pre-Season 1, but now we'll have some numbers to look at) Like what PK said there, should be resstricted to only one or 2 per team tho.
- Performance reviews for managers (Having a proper warning system in place) What PK said again. With limited interest we can't really do too much in terms of sacking people, but I'm sure there's one or 2 people who want to get involved.
- Ability to keep the same T20 Contract players without going through the auction (Like how the BBL clubs generally keep the same Internationals each season, they don't go onto an open market) I think the option to keep one t20 player season to season would work. Would have to have to have a fee attached tho of course.
- Naming of players for T20 Trophy (Change makeup, change number) I find it a bit wierd naming 8 players in a 6 player comp, but I don't see any reason other than that to change.
- Home Ground Advantage for T20 Trophy (I think it's too small currently) I don't really mind tbh
- Scoring systems for OD Cup and FC Shield (General inquires) Looks good to me
- Re-naming of franchises for T20 Trophy (Cosmetic change) Yeah I'm in with this. Don't think there should be restrictions on where teams are located though.
- Possible sub rule? Yeah, think one might be needed. Not for injuries, but for rained out games or players getting called to play for Australia like Stoinis recently. Also would have to have a time restriction on it eg if they play more than 2 days their full score counts.
Also while Im at it, when positions are looked at. Bosisto bowled 42 overs in the shield game just gone, so I think he should be an all rounder rather than a batsman.
Positions can be looked into changing at any time, i will make the decision unless I am undecided where it will go to a vote for the other 6 franchises (3-3 then I have to make the final call)
- Squad sizes (Possible cap change)
So the reason behind me thinking about reducing the cap is that it will help keep the comp equal, and avoid teams from becoming too good or too bad. There's a few players on some lists which are not really used, and it's allowing some teams to kind of hoard the excess. An example of this is Brad Haddin and Mitchell Johnson. Currently with 25 players and no position restrictions, a manager (and smart managers like BP and Scrads) are able to use up a full time contract for these players, whilst not needing to cut any other of their young talent. By reducing the max squad size, it will make giving these ex-Aussie NATs full time contracts a risk, something which it is not currently.
Thus I propose that the squad size for each team is between 12 and 18 players inclusive.
- Squad makeup (E.g. is it okay if team A was to own 5 keepers or Team B to own 15 Batsmen)
We also have a potential issue in squad balance. It mainly revolves around there not being enough keepers to go around, but can also be viewed as some franchises having an imbalanced squad, which you wouldn't see to such an extent.
I suggest that each squad shall be allowed the following:
Bats: 4-8
AR: 2-5
Keep: 1-2
Bowl: 4-8
This allows for a bit of flexibility but keeps a general balance on squads. When looking at the current squads here's a list of who breaks the previous restrictions:
TAS: 6 ARs, 0 Keep, 9 Bowl
WA: 3 Bat, 1 AR, 3 Keep
VIC: 3 Keep, 9 Bowl
NSW: 10 Bat
ACT: 3 Keep
NT: 10 Bowl
SA: 1 AR
Well done QLD I guess ;)
Any changes we make regarding the above two points will have to be met by clubs by the start of the next season, so they may trade, sign and delist as they wish, break as many cap restrictions as they like, as long as come the start of the season they are under. If they are over in any area then forced de-listings is an easy fix. If they are over then focrced signings are needed, but they will incur a fee of some kind.
So there's a start for the rest of you, let's discuss :)
I don't feel that a cap on players per position is needed, because at the moment the only restriction on teams are 2 bowlers and 2 batsman, with All Rounders contributing as well. So really you could get away with only 3 bats. I'm not really convinced either way tho.
All for a cap on squads though, I don't think it will change to much.
How about you take your restrictions and shove them? :P

As I was typing it out, I was starting to feel the same way.
Agree to a cap on squad sizes. I think 15 or 16 works well.
Not sure a cap on squad make-up is necessary, particularly the cap on ARs seeing as they are legitimate options for both positions. Also this can be impacted by players changing positions season-to-season.
- Squad sizes (Possible cap change)
The cap for next season will be 20 players with an aim to cut it down to 18 for Season 3. Reason being is some teams have exactly 20 or more than 20 players and it would be unfair for those teams to make such vast cuts especially if they planned to acquire free agents during the off season.
- Squad makeup (E.g. is it okay if team A was to own 5 keepers or Team B to own 15 Batsmen)
No action will happen for this suggestion
- Player Poaching
Unfortunately my efforts at spreadsheeting the T20 competition wasn't very useful for looking at which players played games but weren't named. And in truth it's probably best to avoid using those numbers as most teams use their T20 contracted players anyway.
For the basis of decided when a "player is named" the numbers I will use below will have guys named as emergencies as not counting. If we proceed with a poaching system emergencies may count as being named players.
So, here are some players worth using as examples.
One Day Cup
Charlie Hemphrey - named 0 times/played 3 games, avg: 39.33 (WA)
Marnus Labuschagne - 0/3, 6.33
Jimmy Peirson - 0/5, 16.60 (VIC)
Matt Dixon - 0/4, 52.50
Will Bosisto - 0/6, 28.50 (QLD)
Seb Gotch - 0/6, 17.83
Simon Milenko - 0/4, 20.50
Nathan Reardon - 3/6, 78.33
Shane Watson - 0/3, 45.00 (NSW)
Alex Ross - 0/6, 34.17 (ACT)
Andrew Fekete - 3/6, 57.83
Andrew Tye - 2/5, 79.40
Xavier Doherty - 0/6, 54.16
Scott Boland - 0/5, 48.80
Dominic Michael - 2/6, 64.17 (NT)
Hilton Cartwright - 0/5, 53.80
Alex Gregory - 0/5, 7.40
Ryan Lees - 0/3, 28.33
Clive Rose - 0/4, 40.25
Ed Cowan - 0/5, 61.2 (SA)
Gary Putland - 0/4, 34.75
All these players were not named in at least 3 matches of the OD Cup. The ones in red were not named in at least 4 matches.
First Class Shield
Dan Worrall - 0/5, 103.40 (TAS)
Kelvin Smith - 0/3, 11.00 (SA)
Sam Rainbird - 2/5, 97.40 (ACT)
Chris Tremain - 0/5, 114.00 (VIC)
Beau Webster - 0/5, 117.60
Hamish Kingston - 0/3, 88.00
Ashton Turner - 0/3, 93.67
Gurinder Sandhu - 3/6, 47.67
Matt Renshaw - 2/6, 110.33 (NSW)
Doug Bollinger - 3/6, 97.00
Mark Cosgrove - 3/7, 61.71 (QLD)
Ben Rohrer - 0/6, 43.83
Will Bosisto - 3/6, 57.00
Sam Heazlett - 1/6, 101.67
Rob Quiney - 4/7, 75.00 (NT)
Simon Mackin - 0/3, 119.67
Fawad Ahmed - 3/7, 84.57
Clint McKay - 0/3, 47.33
And there is everyone that hasn't been named for at least 3 shield matches despite playing in them.
- Player Poaching (Part 2)
The biggest issue with this is determining which players are not being used. Let's look at some examples of the players above:
Chris Tremain - VIC
Hasn't been named from 5 matches in the Shield. I don't believe he played in the OD Cup. He was named in 3/6 Rounds for the T20 Trophy (Unsure if the Gades had any bye rounds there but he played every game for them). Imo a player like this would be one of those that can be poached, expecially when you consider his Shield average which includes a 0 from the game that was washed out on Day 1.
Alex Ross - ACT
Jayman did not name Alex Ross for any of the 6 games where he could've named him in the OD Cup. There are many reasons for why this may be the case, but look after the OD Cup. Ross has been named for 6/7 Shield Matches and from was also named in each match he played in the T20 Trophy (Also captained too). Does a player like this deserve to be put up for poaching? I believe they do not.
Will Bosisto - QLD
Played the entire OD Cup (For the CAXI) and wasn't named once (probably rightly so only had 1 good game) and has been named in 3 of his last 4 Shield matches after putting up some good numbers. He's a young player that will improve and the Koalas have taken steps to name him where possible I feel without comprimising their team strength, but he also has only been named 3/12 times when you look at the raw numbers. Where do you draw the line? You can put Heazlett and Renshaw in this group as well.
Clint McKay - NT
Hasn't been named for any of the 3 Shield matches he has played. He didn't get a game during the OD Cup because of the returning Aussie internationals, but he is a T20 specialist (Just noticed he barely got named for that as well so maybe this case he would be in trouble). But say there was a player which was a T20 specialist (Even Andrew Tye who failed the OD requirements) who doesn't get named for their D6s side in the longer forms but plays the shortest form. And I said above to exclude the short form stuff from our calculations. Does a player like that deserve to be poached? He plays a big role for the side
As usual I would really like some input on this stuff the earlier we sort it out the better. Once we have an idea on what will need to happen for a player to be poachable, then we can work out how to actually poach the player.
I think players should have to be a certain age (23/24) before they can be poached. I mean, surely it's fair enough not playing a 20yo week in week out is normal.
Also, CAXI shouldn't count as game time :P
I agree with the 23/24 rule, I think it would help too if the teams had one "Right to Match/Block" card like they used to in the IPL, like if someone wanted to poach McKay from me and I wanted to keep him for T20 purposes, I could use the card to stop them, say by adding another 50% to his salary where as if he goes he goes for the price paid

Yeah I was thinking of some kind of payment which lets the team keep hold of the player as well.
Didn't think of age though, that's a good one.
So how about this then:
Any player aged 24 or over at the start of a season (1st October just to pick a date) is eligible to be poached at seasons end providing either:
- During the Matador Cup (assuming the current format stays for next season) they are not named in 4 or more of the games they play.
- During the Sheffield Shield they are not named in 4 or more of the games they play.
- During BOTH compeitions they play 3 more games than they are named for.
(Note: A player named as an emergency WILL COUNT as having been named for their D6s side, even if they are not required on field)
If a player meets one of these then the current manager has the option to pay $100,000 to hold onto the player, otherwise he will join the free agents pool for the next season where he will be available to every manager
The effect I expect it will have:
This should be the final piece to the equalisation puzzle I feel. So instead of a full poaching system where teams can take player directly, they go into the open market for everyone. This will increase the interest in the pre-season auction, make teams put some focus on giving some lesser players a run (or at least chuck them at E3)
Thoughts?

I like this idea a lot, those who aren't used should go open market.
It would certainly be easier than finding a system which allows players to be privately poached.
It also allows for stratgic plays where the manager who owns the player can choose to let him go (not pay the $100k fee) but then try to re-purchase him for a cheaper price.
I like it, brings a lot of strategy into the game
- Performance review for managers
This is going to be really difficult because as stated I think we are short on numbers as it is. I might leave this discussion to last.
- Ability to keep the same T20 Contract players without going through the auction
So I was thinking if you were to purchase a player through the T20 Auction, that come the next season you have the option to hold that player for say, 50% of what you paid for him the previous season (And let that continue to drop each successive season). And we can each do this up to two times a season.
Season 1 auction has no bearing on this, so the S2 auction will be all in, then from S3 we can do the buy back process.
Thoughts?
I think it's good but there should be a limit of just one carry over player per season imo.

I'm less enthused on that idea to be honest. I like the idea of keeping a a T20 Contract but I don't think he should be discounted. I mean sure you have one less spot to play with but if you discount you're just adding money to what is already a bloated team's bidding budget because they have one less player. Again I think to open up strategy you give players the option to hold their player at what they paid or throw him back and try and get him cheaper.
Or like nrich said limit it to one keeper. Because based on this season if the same teams existed (I know S2 is all in but I'm just making an example) if I knew I had a 50% discount. I'd keep my 3 internationals and with two slots on any new ones I'd just bid 300k+ on them
- Player Poaching (Final decision)
Any player aged 24 or over at the start of a season (1st October just to pick a date) is eligible to be poached at seasons end providing either:
- During the Matador Cup (assuming the current format stays for next season) they are not named in 3 of the games they play.
- During the Sheffield Shield they are not named in 4 or more of the games they play.

Slight change as I forgot that the Matador Cup only had 3 minor rounds, the data above was from the whols comp. In finals teams shouldn't have to worry about making sure their players all get a game.

So I was thinking if you were to purchase a player through the T20 Auction, that come the next season you have the option to hold that player for 75% of what you paid for him the previous season (And let that continue to drop each successive season). And we can each do this up to one time a season.
Season 1 auction has no bearing on this, so the S2 auction will be all in, then from S3 we can do the buy back process.
Made a couple of changes to the original suggestion, a bit of a middle ground from what both nrich and BP said on the topic. This sound better?
Sounds good to me :)
That works better. One player at 75% is better than 2 at 50%
Wattup?
We looking to continue this competition into next year? State squads have come out, so we can probably get crack a lackin soonish.
July will be my month hopefully. Noticed all the state squads are out which is good :)
30th June I finish, 25th July I return. Plan is to send something to everyone in that time :)
So july didn't exactly happen, but it's all starting to happen now :) Start looking around, please post so I know that you're all alive and keen as well!!
I'm keen!

Remember I got thrown into this because Jukes bailed, I think we've done ok so far. :P
This competition is naturally flawed because the best don't have any use. ;)

It's different I think, not flawed ;)
Yes you could say he did, but I think the main problem was the fact little selections were made, as opposed to the wrong selections ;) Anyway you have free selections at the Free Agency table (Picks 2 and 4) so make sure you pick decent players with them :P
Define "Decent" players :P

Better than Cam Valente (Who will be good but there were so many better options)
Okay, now that everyone has either responded to me or on here, time to get things underway :)
The Next 3 posts will be about the scoring systems, and my proposed changes. All these are up for discussion of course and I'd like to see some!!
First Class Shield
(Season 1 Format, parts in red are proposed changes)
1 run = 1 point
Getting out = -10 (Excluding bowlers)
Duck = -10 (Excluding bowlers)
50 runs in one innings = 30 points
100 runs in one innings = 30 points*
1 wicket = 25 points [Up from 20]
Maiden = 2 points
5 wickets in one innings = 30 points
10 wickets in one match = 70 points [Up from 60]
Catch = 10 points
Runout (last player affecting run out) = 20 points
Stumping = 10 points
Changes here are around the bowlers. Right now 10 wickets = 200 runs, and I think teams score more than 200 runs per innings, so this has been adjusted to 25 which is probably a more accurate reflection. Also surprisingly there weren't many 10 wicket matches by players last season, so I've bumped that up to 70 points.
*This used to say 60 points, but I've changed it so it reads 30 now. It isn't a change in the scoring system, just a wording change. When a player reaches 50 runs he gets a 30 point bonus, when he reaches 100 runs he gets another 30 point bonus. Same thing as before, wording changed.
One Day Cup
1 run = 1 point
Duck = -10 (Excluding bowlers)
Every 6 hit = 6 points
50 runs in one innings = 20 points
100 runs in one innings = 50 points
Strike rate of 100-124.99 = 15 points
Strike rate of 125+ = 25 points
(Must score 30 runs to qualify)
1 wicket = 25 points
Maiden = 6 points
3 wickets in one innings = 20 points
5 wickets in one innings = 50 points [No previous bonus for 5WI]
Economy rate of 5.01-6.0 = 15 points [Prevoiusly 4.51]
Economy rate of 5.0 rpo or less = 25 points [Previously 4.50]
(Must bowl 4 overs to qualify)
Catch = 10 points
Stumping = 10 points
Runout (last player affecting run out) = 20 points [Previously 10 points]
Again, changes for the bowlers. There was no 5 wicket haul bonus, now there is. The economy bonus has gone up making it easier to achieve (Some Matador matches will be in Perth this season so should be higher scores too). And lastly runouts are now more valuable.
T20 Trophy
1 run = 1 point
Duck = -20 (Excluding Bowlers)
Strike Rate 150+ = 20 points
Strike Rate 130 to 149.99 = 12 points
(must score 20+ runs for SR bonus)
1 wicket = 20 points
Maiden = 12 points
6 or less rpo = 20 points
6.01 to 8 rpo = 12 points
(must bowl 3 overs for economy bonus)
Catch = 12 points
Stumping = 15 points
Run out (Final player affecting Runout) = 12 points
This was the scoring system used by the BBL Fantasy crew last season. We will be following their scoring system again so if they make changes, so will we.
Supportive of all the changes suggested PB!
No issues from me, all seems good :)
Looks good to me
seems fine to me
I agree, looks good
yeah nah, it kewl.
