So now we can start with match offs from tomorrow right? If everyone is fine with that.

 

Will open 2 match threads every day evening and will allow polling on them for 2 days .That is if I one a thread tomorrow(Wednesday evening) it will be active till friday.

 

Whoever has more votes when the poll closes would have won that match (obviously).If both have equal number of votes 1 point each.Two points for win.Everyone can vote in the poll including us the players.

 

Any other doubt please post in this thread.So that we cant start off with matches from tomorrow .

So, if I'm facing an opponent, I'm eligible to vote?

 

Yes I don't see anything wrong in it.If u don't vote ,would be unable to even see how many votes u are having .

 

Though Ideally if there are two members in the team (Lord/Slickr , Bleaf27/Stuge , Opening Batsman/Cricketics) in their matches only one of their votes will be counted even if both vote.

And the votes of members with less than 50 posts don't count right?
