The PCL #PSL is now entering into third season and we're looking to recruit some new players to play for one of the six teams. The first two seasons were fantastic, and had some extremely fun, joyous, exciting, nail biting moments. So come and join in the fun here.
What is Pakistan Cricket League (PCL)?
It's simple. It's just like real cricket, but it's online on this forum. You, the members of this forum, will be the players who play for teams. Once you've signed up (see below), you'll be drafted into a team by one of the teams captains and your details will be entered into a simulator (sim). You will be handed contracts by your captain. These contracts decide your ability on the sim. The better the contract, the better your ability. Matches are then simulated on the sim, where you can follow how well you and your team are going, how many wickets you've taken or how many runs you've scored. The sim produces ball by ball commentary, just like you see on cricinfo, as well as scorecards. Your real life cricketing ability does not determine how good you are on the sim. Your batting abilities can be as good as Saeed Ajmal's in real life, but in PCL, you could be as good as Sir Don Bradman!
What next?
Once the deadline for sign ups is over (see below), a draft will take place where captains take it in turns to pick players for their teams from the sign up list. Once teams have been picked, contracts will be handed out to the players by their captains (as explained above). From my experience, the most established or more authorative members of the forum receive the higher contracts.
Once this is complete, the season will begin. The tournament format will be similar to the real PSL
Tips
In the draft thread, please be enthusiastic but not annoying. By annoying I mean don't constantly say "I want to be picked" "Someone pick me" "I want to be in this team" "Can you pick me please?". It doesn't look good on yourself and the chances are you will be picked towards the end (or not picked at all). That might also be considered as spamming.
To make yourself stand out to being picked, improve your posting quality throughout the forum. Also remain active. If you sign up this competition and then become inactive or are less active, chances are that the captains will be reluctant to pick you.
Once the matches begin, support and cheer your team in the match threads. There will also be a team thread specific to your team to discuss your clubs performances, amongst other things. We also love friendly banter, so don't shy away from ribbing your opposition, but please keep it within limits and don't go overboard.
