Bonus Points

Post by boscorp » Fri Sep 19, 2025 9:35 pm

What's peoples' thoughts on introducing bonus points for the 2 different formats?
A bonus point in OD if you take all 10 wickets of your opponent.
A bonus point in T20 if your RR is more than 1.25 times your opponent.
Would something like that make the leagues more interesting?

It would increase the impact of teams going inactive mid season. And it changes the match dynamic, which the ME is not made for.
I wouldn't mind having average rr difference as the tiebreaker instead of net run rate.

It would decrease the impact of high scoring games/ pitches on the number

I don't mean for it as a tiebreaker. An extra league point for getting your opponent all out in a OD match.
An extra league point if you win your T20 match by big margin.
It might push inactive teams to the bottom of the ladder but I doubt it would turn players off the game. Does it really affect the match dynamics? What would have to change in the ME?
