The SCS Big Bash Finals Competition will be along similar lines to last year's Elite XI concept with a few modifications. The basic premise will remain the same where the winner will be the person who can achieve the highest scoring XI from performance of players they select from the 4 finals.
The selection for each game would be.
- 2 BAT onlys
- 1 WKP
- 2 DPPs
- 2 BWL onlys
- 1 FLX
That will be 8 players per game for a total of 32 of which 11 scores will count as follows.
- 3 highest scoring BAT onlys
- 1 highest scoring WKP
- 3 highest scoring DPPs
- 4 highest scoring BWL onlys
The flex player selected in a game can be from any position however they can only fill the underlying position in the final Elite XI. This is intended to give people an extra chance at recording a good score for the position which they may be behind.
This comp is designed to be less frustrating than the classic comp because only 11 of the 32 scores count so low scores by selected players aren't as costly.
One of the issues from last season's comp was that missing a big score is difficult to come back from. That is the nature of the concept to some extent how I will be making some modifications to the scoring rules so big scores won't be as big as they were last year (ie Josh Brown scored 223 points in one final) which should hopefully keep more people in contention for longer.
I will share the scoring rules and other details over the next day or two. Note there may be some surprises still to come.
