PSL 14 Discussion & Sign-ups
Posted: Mon Aug 12, 2024 9:34 am
The Pakistan Super League is a competition where franchises consisting of 5-9 teams each face each other in matches for the PSL Trophy.
Last season Islamabad United led by MrMoose won the title.
PSL 14 sees the competition being played in the OD format, in keeping with the intention to alternate between OD and T20 for each season of the PSL.
Teams will be assigned an entire week to get their games done and each team captain or a designated representative has to post the links to fixtures in their respective forum threads.
Ex: Round 1 has to be played in FTP Week 7, Round 2 in FTP Week 8 and so on.
If teams have no free friendly slots then the match will be declared a draw.
Franchises have to play their matches by Sunday 23:59 FTP time, and games can be played any day of the week.
Ex: Round 1 is FTP Week 8, so all matches for this round have to be played by Sunday 23:59 FTP time.
Franchises are allowed to retain up to 3 teams (including themselves and affiliate teams) from last season.
Franchises will also have the ability to use one Right-to-Match (RTM) card.
This means that in the draft if a team played for them last season, and someone else won them in the draft, then they can use their RTM card and get them back in their franchise, while the draft will then be adjusted accordingly.
If picked for retention, teams will still have the choice if they want to stay in the same franchise or not.
So for example if Team A is retained by Quetta, but Team A wishes to leave Quetta, then they will be entered into the draft where anyone can pick them.
How the points system for franchises will work:
2 points will be awarded for a franchise win and 1 point for a franchise draw
For example out of 7 matches between Karachi and Lahore if Karachi win 4 and Lahore win 3, then the score will read as Karachi 4-3 Lahore.
Karachi gets 2 points in this case.
Individual wins and losses will also be recorded and used as a tie-breaker in case of a tie in the points table.
For the semi-finals 1st will play 3rd and 2nd will play 4th, and teams of the franchises that finish 1st and 2nd will have Pitch Advantage for the semi-final only, meaning each team in those 2 franchise get to choose their own pitch for their respective semi-final fixtures.
For example, Team A of the 1st place franchise can send a challenge to their semi-final opponent to play on a Dry pitch, Team B of the same franchise sends challenge for Uneven pitch, and so on.
Competition format will be a single round-robin with all 4 franchises playing each other once and the top 2 then contesting the final.
Winning franchise members will each be awarded either 1 month membership or 40 credits.
Rulings if teams cross the rating limits:
1: Team A vs Team B, If Team A wins but crosses the rating limit and Team B stays under the limit, then the result will be overturned and Team B will be declared the winner.
2: Team A vs Team B, If Team A wins and stays under the rating limit, and Team B goes over the rating limit and loses, then the result will stand.
3: If both teams cross the limit then the result will stand.
All matches will be played on Random pitch and Random weather.
If anyone exceeds their league match rating, then the result will be overturned regardless of the difference in match ratings between them and their opponent.
Example: Team A played Team B in the Gold league. Team A won but they rated 216k while Team B rated 200k. Team B will get the win as Team A crossed the Gold league limit of 215k.
