Thanks B2D as well ... an absolutely outstanding job running this comp .... can't fathom how much time and effort it probably took you ...
I'll put my hand up and say without this comp the WC would have just passed me by and like a few other sports (Tennis, Darts etc) would have just watched the highlights reel and not paid much attention to it at all ...
- Got no complaints what-so-ever with how it was run and a few fantasy sites could take notice ...
- Would join any other future comps ... T20 WC, BBL, IPL etc ....
- I certainly know a lot more players than before the comp started ... some familiar names were in the IPL that didn't get a gig ... but I now know more about them ... might even help in the BBL next year ...
- Like others I generally made a note of my players, watched the first innings each evening (subject to AFL clashes) and then woke up to see how the others went ...
- Also have Foxtel so could watch the replay the next arvo until the World Series Poker started ...
- Always considered it to be a lot like buying a lottery ticket that you could take an interest in ...
- Was never concerned about winning anything ... don't like betting on sports I watch as it always spoils it for me .... but having no control over selecting player X v Y was something I liked about the whole setup ...
*** Edit: I must admit that I also liked the the general banter and player / team strategies discussions that it facilitated although I think in hindsight I might have derailed this thread a touch too much ... lesson learned for next time
