Rosters
Please post a roster if at all possible. There is a substantial RP bonus for doing so; more importantly, it is a basic courtesy to your opponents to do so given that cricket RP is, more so than for some other sports, very dependent on knowing the details of both teams.
At bare minimum, your roster should include:
- 11 players.
- Your style modifier and RP permissions (see below).
- One of your players as captain.
- One of your players as wicket-keeper.
- At least five of your players who are bowlers (including bowling all-rounders or batsmen who can bowl).
- A basic indication of your likely batting order.
- The colour of your kit (One Day International cricket is played using a white ball and thus all teams must play in non-white kits such that the ball is visible against them).
- Reserve players.
- Player details, bios, tendencies, stats, favourite colour, etc.
- Coaching staff.
- History, tactics, stats.
- Information about your touring fans.
- Any other relevant information.
Style modifiers
The style modifiers determine how attacking your team is, from a conservative approach to a more aggressive one. An in-character way of thinking about them is that they reflect your team’s balance of bowlers and batters: a more attacking team probably has stronger batsmen and hopes to outscore the opposition while sacrificing economy in their bowling, while a more defensive team probably has stronger bowlers and tries to limit the opponent’s run scoring to make up for having a weaker batting lineup.
You may designate a style modifier for your team from -2 to +2; modifiers outside this range will be rounded down; if no modifier is set, 0 will be assumed.
RP permissions
RP permissions work a little differently in cricket as it is almost impossible for one player to RP only about their own players. Therefore for the purposes of this tournament it is generally assumed that all players consent to having their opponents determine basic outcomes such as runs and wickets. You may clarify permissions relating to specific events or requesting certain focuses e.g. specifying that your players would never engage in Mankading, describing your team’s tactics.
Two tournament-wide permissions apply.
- No violence towards the host country or destruction of the host country’s infrastructure.
- No introduction of pandemics to the host country or to opposing teams.
- Code: Select all
