Battrick

Basically it's a cricket version of hattrick which starts up on Sunday. It looks like it will be popular and looks a touch more in-depth than hattrick.

Just wondering if anyone else had signed up for it, as places are limited.

Thanks

No worries, it does look blooming good.

Apparently you can view the matches (text-wise) and it plays out over the course of the day.

What a great idea!

Sounds great, do we not get the password until Sunday? And do you think the first match will be the same day? Hope not

It all depends on whether you get in or not. They say if you don't then you have to wait until next season!

It says you'll get the password within 48hours, but I'm not sure when the first match takes place. If I find out I'll let you know

I cant see loads of people finding out about it before it's started, hope not anyway. I've gone for Essex region, so hopefully the majority in there are only people who registered because of this topic, meaning you'd have a good chance.

48 hours is a long time for just a password, annoying that.

Cheers for letting me know if u do find out anything

It's quite a well known game despite the fact that it hasn't even started yet though, so there may be a problem although it is unlikely.

All applications are dealt with manually and that's why they take so long to sort out.

OK from what I understand:

- Teams will be assigned from 4pm Sunday

- Password is sent after you have been allocated a team

- First game is on Friday

- There were 520 people on the England Waiting List yesterday

Luv 2 but nah !!

It's worth posting the link elsewhere e.g. Cricket Forum.

There may be some uneducated heathen that never read the HT threads.

 

[Grayson]

520?! Bugger, but still it should be ok because they've divided that into 18 counties, or are counties just where you are based?
It also said the pyramid section goes up to 1024 teams, so we should be ok

Cheers for the other info

I applied for this about two weeks ago so fingers crossed I'll get a team.

 

[MrB]

Waiting list 560 but as far as I can see there will be 640 slots (there are also people playing the beta version who aren't included on the waiting list though).

I only just recieved my email saying they had recieved my application, which was placed 2 days ago

 

[MrB]

Hmmm, I haven't even had an email. I suppose we'll find out tomorrow!

That happened to me.

Applied again yesterday and got an e-mail.

They're going to delete one of my applications so that it doesn't look like I'm cheating

It's due to start around about now, but I havent been emailed about whether i have a team yet or not, are they gonna let it start before allocating teams???

First games are tomorrow I think so they have a fair while to e-mail out passwords.

Don't worry!

 Still says it's closed for updates for me

Edit: It's opened now but as i dont have my password yet i cant go on, anyone able to yet?
