First, I want to say that due to personal issues, it won't be quite done as we hope, but we need to make it work, so some things will be manual until we can get them coded. I am going to spend the next 6-7 weeks working on it, a few hours each day, god willing. So here goes

Twenty teams, split into two groups of ten. Teams will be ranked and divided as follows.
  • 1,4,5,8,9,12,13,16,17,20
  • 2,3,6,7,10,11,14,15,18,19
This will occur after each WC is completed

Teams will play the other nine teams in their group twice over the cycle (home and away)

The two seasons will be played as follows.

Season 1:
Week 5: T20 (6games)
Week 8: SOD: (6games)
Week 11: T20 (6games)
EOS: T20 World Cup

Season 2:
Week 5: SOD (6games)
Week 8 T20 (6games)
Week 11: SOD: (6games)
EOS: SOD World Cup

• Game times will be predetermined at 0:00, 4:00, and 8:00 for the three tours
• No need to bid for tours as some FTP magic means you can play in different countries day to day.
• Senior matches to immediately follow youth matches
• 3 hrs for OD matches
• 2 hrs for T20 matches
• Each tour consists of three home and three away matches
• Home team will select one pitch for all three home matches
• Will have visibility of all pitches before squad selection
• Touring squad to increase to 20 to allow for the extra game and the potential to play on four different pitches
• New NAT manager will inherit results of 1 T20 tour from the prior tenure, meaning they have 12 remaining games to qualify for WC

The top 6 of each group to qualify for the WC
The nation with the most points across both groups will host the WC (NRR to be used if more than 1 team is equal on points)
