GCF World Test Season 10 - SCHEDULING & DISCUSSION

[NS Global Cricket Federation]

Schedule has been updated in the everything thread - please check that I have put in all games regarding your nation in correctly!

[The Plough Islands]

I'm up for a three-game series. I'm not picky about who my opponent is, I'm not picky about when the matches will be held and I'm not even picky if I'm hosting or if someone else hosts.

Would you like to visit the Plough Islands for a three-Test series on MDs 4-6?

Sure. After all, I agreed to over Discord so I might as well repeat myself here for all to see.

[Ethane]

MD 1-4: Ethane @ Eastfield Lodge

Looking for another match (2-4 matches length) between MD5-10 (or 2 matches in that time if that works, although I will be busy MD 9-10 so will RP less/not at all). This match will be hosted by another country, not in Ethane (if there are 2 matches, one will ideally be away and 1 will be in Ethane).

Would ideally like a 5 series test MD11-15 as well, although can shorten if needed. This one would ideally be in Ethane.

Open to any offers that don't fit this schedule as well, just hit me up.

EDIT: also will probably ask people from tomorrow myself when I have time to look, but am v. busy with exams until 21st Jan so that is my priority).

[Damukuni]

As previously dicussed on Discord:

Eastfield Lodge tour of Damukuni (2 Tests)
Advertised name: The West-East Series
Matchdays 5 and 6.

I'm still looking for an opponent to do a 3-Test series. I'd prefer the opponent host. (Somewhere within either MDs 1-4 or 7-10.)

Agreed.

[Busoga Islands]

We are, of course, a new entry.

We'll do a home series on MD1 & MD2, and then an away three match series on whatever matchdays people are free. (That, of course, gets to the limit of 5 for newcomers).

Anyone available?

[Liventia]

Confirming Darmen in Liventia 4–7.

Liventia schedule:
MD1–2: Liventia in Ko-oren (two Tests)
MD4–7: Darmen in Liventia (four Tests)
MD9–12: FOUR TESTS AWAY open
MD14–15: TWO TESTS HOME open

Liventia would like to offer Eura the pick of either open series we still have available, after which we will open the other series to offers.

[Eura]

Confirming Darmen in Liventia 4–7.

Liventia schedule:
MD1–2: Liventia in Ko-oren (two Tests)

MD9–12: FOUR TESTS AWAY open
MD14–15: TWO TESTS HOME open

Eura could play Liventia in Eura from MD9-12.

Apox, could you do MD13-15 or MD4-7?

I'm open to any other offers, got lots of slots to fill.

New nation here. Sajnur would like to schedule a series to start our foray into Test Cricket. Maybe a three-test series for MD 3-5?

[Sajnur]

We are, of course, a new entry.

We'll do a home series on MD1 & MD2, and then an away three match series on whatever matchdays people are free. (That, of course, gets to the limit of 5 for newcomers).

As another new entry, I'll take you up on a two test series for MD 1-2

Would happily take you up on a series MD4-7, as Apox toured Eura last test season, would you be interested in travelling to Apox this time around?

[NS Global Cricket Federation]

The OP of the everything thread has been updated with new confirmed series.

Five days to go until the season starts, get those tests scheduled!

[Eura]

Sounds good to me, confirmed!

Anyone else want to play Eura?

[Darmen]

Just a reminder that Darmen is still looking for a two match series on MDs 11 & 12, preferably at home.

[Sajnur]

Since my previous slot in MD 3-5 is taken, would you take three tests on MD 13-15?

[Liventia]

Eura could play Liventia in Eura from MD9-12.

This works. Confirming this series.

Since my previous slot in MD 3-5 is taken, would you take three tests on MD 13-15?

I would strongly suggest you (and tbh any new nations) schedule as early in the season as possible, because only by RPing will you be able to schedule more series, and only then will some more established nations be willing to play against you (so they know they won't be playing against a no-RP opponent).

If you (or any other newly-entering team) meet that bar, Liventia has a two-match series at the end of the season which we will keep open to face a new nation.

Fair enough. I've answered an offer for MD 1-2 though.

P.S. Is there a discord for Nation States cricket?

Great!

MD1: vs. Sajnur
MD2: vs. Sajnur

[NS Global Cricket Federation]

The everything thread is now updated with all the confirmed series.

MD1 cutoff will occur at approximately 9pm UTC on Monday, giving you about 55 hours to get any pre season RPs in and organise tests for MD1. Tests will still be able to be organised for later on in the season while it is in progress, of course.

[Damukuni]

P.S. Is there a discord for Nation States cricket?

To answer your question, there isn't one for NS Sport Cricket specifically, but most of us in GCF or that do a domestic cricket league (including myself) are in the general NS Sport Discord.

Also, I'm still game for a three-match Test series. I'd prefer the opponent host.

Cool! Would Matchdays 9-11 work?

[Pratapgadh]

Would like to confirm Sanjur in Pratapgadh for MDs 3, 4 and 5.

[NS Global Cricket Federation]

Would like to confirm Sanjur in Pratapgadh for MDs 3, 4 and 5.

I will need confirmation from both parties before putting this in the schedule.
