1....2.....3. Go !! Let the games begin!!!

Schedule for this weekend published. Deadline for sending IEmails by the home team this weekend only is WEDNESDAY evening 9:00 pm. From the following weekend, the deadline is reguar TUESDAY noon.

With 14 seasons completed in Cricbay, which team/s has managed to be in top 10 in every tournament? The first names that come to my mind are Team Hattrickers and Team Spartans CC.These teams have managed to stay Evergreen for past 7 years.

So when Krish Iyer asked this question on FB, I decided to dig some more to get this data to Cricbay community. I had to go through a lot of scorecards to get the data for initial few years. Subraya Mallya has already incorporated this in our Stats page.

These days competing against 80 teams, and to be in top 10 is a tuff task for any team; and to qualify for Platinum and then manage to be in top 4 or for that matter to be in top 10 is even tougher.

Which Team has managed to be in top 10 in almost every tournament for that matter only playing in Platinum? Guess who ??

I am sure everyone's entry to cricbay is unique. But there is something in the Rockers league team that will sound similar to each of you. No one told us how this will turn out, so we're telling everyone who wants to become part of cricbay.

Win the Game....Top the Group...Make it to Platinum Playoffs!

Lose The Game....Go to Gold Playoffs or in Seamers case…effectively....Home.

This was the situation on a chilly, damp Saturday morning November, 19, 2011  and the opponents we were supposed to beat were none other than Spartans CC. Seamers withstood a fiery spell from Badal (five for) and put up a decent score and then Bimal tore open Spartan’s top order and put us in driver seat to win the game. Jaymin comes and offers a simple dolly catch to me that would have won the game for Seamers. 

As you all know that as CricBay grew as an organized sporting league we became an Non-Profit Organization. We also started reserving grounds on behalf of the teams that chose to go with reserved grounds. For us to be able to reserve a ground, the school districts and parks (and cities) that manage those grounds, require us to carry a liability insurance to cover any potential damage or claim due to any accident that might happen during a game. So CricBay evaluated the different Insurance choices with the following objective,

CricBay Fall Open 2012 Season Finale will on Feb. 24, 2013 at Thornton Jr. High School, Fremont. The trophy distribution will be immediately after the Finals game (around 1:30PM). If your name is listed as a winner of an award below, please come to the finals to collect your trophy. Congratulations to all winners.

Few days ago I noticed that my team (WCW) was supposed to play FC for the first time this weekend. Given that both the teams have been around for a while and have played quite a few games, I wondered if this is a record and enquired on Cricbay Facebook group. Sheshu replied to that thread mentioning that, given our current database and stats pages, it would be tricky to figure this one out. So I thought why not spend some time this weekend hacking our stats data to get an answer. 

I hacked up a quick java project to get answers. I ran data collection earlier this weekend, so not all results from this weekend are factored in these stats. Given that it was a quick programming hack, its possible that there might be some errors in either data collection/analysis. Also only teams playing in the fall open 2012 were considered.

For those who care, all the code was written in Java (with excessive use of Guava). All the data was scrapped/collected using curl. I did manually create a seed list of team ids by curl'ing/grep'ing/awk'ing points table html page for this season.

Yes !! We are going to have a CricBay Camp. It will be a family get together with fun filled days and nights with food, games etc. Please vote to indicate your availability....
