FC leagues have been drawn. As some people (by which I mean me) predicted, the initial FC league assignment is NOT our current OD league. The top two leagues are all bots (the top league is made up of the worst bots in the country), with some sort of cup rank based allocation starting with III. Also, Norse will be joining Los Burritos in Windies II.3 next season.
I assume, then, that you landed in IV for FC? I think all the FC III have either a squad from OD I or a strong OD II, e.g. I caught Pebble Street (top div.) and Banks (solid II, probably comparable to my squad).
Ok, I think I'm going to give it another go. I'll set up a team tomorrow. Prepare for many, many noob questions about the game and cricket itself.
FC is not going to have qualification matches -- first place teams autopromote, teams in the bottom half autodemote. There's going to be a ton of turnover in the FC series. I can (sort of) see why they're doing it, but it's going to be very bad for any country with a relatively unpopulated bottom division.
you should hear pretty soon. i'm debating changing my team name. either some form of White Sox Cricket Club or to go with the English County teams, Cook County Cricket Club, as that is where I live.

FC fixtures are up, and I have no idea what to do with the priority or spell orders options. What do they mean?
Holy crap, my head is spinning. I know cricket very well, let me wrap my head around this and I will post again. First Class orders may be its own thread actually
Hmm... Earlier on today it said there were four people on the waiting list for West Indies. I had been the only person for a few days on that waiting list. Now, those other three people got their teams and are no longer on the list, leaving just me as the 1 waiting.
