After I compile Zimbabwe, your players stats will be updated and your teams may be over or under the salary cap, and also may have players missing due to retirement or they are no longer picked in international teams.
So when I finish Zimbabwe, ill put a list of all players up for you and the teams they are in, and the new folks have first dig at the player pool, and then last seasons teams can fill their sides from the remainder of players in the pool.
Tomorrow night ill be posting of how I intend to develop the ASCL and it will include changesd that will take effect straight away, and in the seasons to come.
Basically it will be teams will get players from either a international side of ING cup side, and their team will represent where they draw their players from. It'll be more indepth tomorrow.

My plan is to do this as the ASCL grows. Have teams representing countries.
6 Australian teams, each representing an ING state. NSW, QLD, VIC, SA, WA, TAS.
1 team representing Kenya, Bangladesh and Zimbabwe.
1 English team
1 Indian team
1 Pakistani team
1 South African team
1 Sri Lankan team
1 West Indian team
1 New Zealand team

Please note that you simply only represent these teams, and you get priority to talent coming out of the area you represent. Also another rule I will
introduce is that your team no longer has a limit of 3 players from each country. I think this rule would make it too hard when we start getting a
few more teams involved. So if you want all aussie players in your side, you got it, but here is the catch. You must have 4 players from the country/state
you represent, so if you were India, you would have to have 4 Indian players, and the rest could be from any country.
With Australia having 6 teams, you wont have to have 4 players from the state you represent, that would be near impossible. You simply have to have 4
Australian players, and you have to have 2 players from the ING state side in your team also, which counts towards the 4 Aussie players you need.
The 2 ING players you bring up each season, their stats are reduced by 10% to replicate the change in opposition class they will play against.
Teams that represent an ING state wll have to send in to me each season what players they want to bring up from their ING state to play in the ASCL each
season.

This is how we will determine who gets what state/country.
You put a bid in for 3 teams, and you have 100 points.
for the 3 teams you can bid on, and the highest bid gets the team. Max bid you can put on a team is 100 and Min is 1. You can put all 100 on a single team
and hope nobody else does that, if they do, its a draw to see who gets each team if there are ties. If you lost the draw, you obviously wont have any teams
to fall back on, so you'll have to pick from teams left at the end. If there is more than one team at the end with no team, another bidding process will be
carried out until everyone has a team.

Example, I bid-
70 on NSW *
25 on Pakistan
5 on England

Obviously I want to get NSW the most, and Pakistan I have to fall back on. say if other bids go like this-
75 England*
24 South Australia
1 Victoria

50 West Indies*
45 Pakistan
5 Victoria

75 England
24 Pakistan
1 India*

60 Sri Lanka*
39 South Africa
1 QLD

* indicates the team a side would get.

So with these new rules coming in, it means older squads may have to drop players in order to fill their 4 players they need representing their state/country.
Newer squads can build around this new rule, and potentially trade off players to last season clubs so they can make numbers up.

Please post any suggestions/questions.

That all sounds cool, provided we can find fourteen players. What's the count at at the moment?

14 teams isn't a must, countries will just be free for next season if we dont get 14 this time round.
Just seat out a email to create more interest, and get last years coaches back.

i see a minimum of 24 australian players sitting in the 6 australian teams, wont this make it tough, that means that all the other teams pretty much have no access to aussies?

why i won't be realasing clarke. gillepie probably.

know none of you buggers go for nz.

The 2 ING players you bring up each season, their stats are reduced by 80% to replicate the change in opposition class they will play against.

So you are taking 2 ING cup players each season and bring them up, and the other 2 you need can be aussies, so in reality its 12 aussie players will be taken by the 6 ING states, other aussies will be free.

ahhhh, that wont be too bad then i guess :)

I wouldn't mind giving this a crack
