Super 8s/9s Competition

(UPDATED 3 FEBRUARY 2012)

It was some 60 years ago, and the Interstate Vigoro Tests were back and running after WWII. Tasmania had joined the All Australian Titles and NSW was a force to contend with in the competition.

In honour and remembrance of some of our great players from that era, we've dedicated each of our Super 8s team in the name of a NSW champion from that time. Teams have been dedicated to the following NSW greats to date: Dodge (Ettie), Buchanan (Zilla), McKeough (Thelly), Vandine (Jeannie), Burtenshaw (Dotti & Vi) , Dixon (Alice), McKenzie (Thea), Turner (Phyllis ‘Min’), Ball (June), O’Brien (Fran), Stone (Patty), Little (Hazel ‘Jeannie’), Bushell (Dotti), Durrant (Roma), Hobbs (Hazel), Martin (Joyce). For Stemore information, please see below.

Next Game – Saturday 4 February 2012

** There are some special rules that will apply to this game. A 35min timelimit will apply to each innings starting 12pm SHARP. The first innings will conclude at 12:35pm SHARP. 3 mins is allowed for innings changeover and 5mins for half-time If the batting team is late starting then they will have less batting time. If the fielding team causes a delay to the start then the same amount of time will be deducted from their innings. If the fielding team is time wasting when the batting team is ready then run penalties may apply at the umpires' discretion. Where a team is timed-out in the 1st inns then their 2nd inns start where the batting order finished the previous inns. This will ensure that everyone gets a bat**

Game 12 - Naughty vs Nice - "Santa Knows" game

As only Santa knows who's been naughty or nice, players drew their own team selection on the day. The first 3 players to arrive at the ground - Phyllis, Amie and Stacey did not need to draw out their name - their good behaviour will warrant selection in the "Nice" team, as for the last players to arrive at the ground, well you can guess which team they will be allocated (right Kel and Rachel :)).

Round 1, Game 8 Super 12s Game- Alphabet Soup Mix - Front Runners vs Back Rowers

THE THEORY TO TEST

Are those at the beginning of the alphabet the leaders in setting the pace, whilst those always last on the list happy to sit there? Or are those always at the top of the list tired from taking on the head wind and those at the end forever trying to make a move to improve on their position in life? And what about if your surname is in the middle of the alphabet? Or maybe we'll simply disprove any relationship between playing style and surnames and concur that skill/attitude is purely genetically based :). Enjoy our Alphabet Soup mix game!

THE TEAMS (listed alphabetically just like the White Pages)

Front Runners (A-K): Lynne Browning (c), Wendy Celarc, Bernie Coutis, Vicky Davidson, Lucy Dobbins, Jess Downting, Steph French, Lyn Harrison, Amie Hartas, Barbara Jones, Catherine Jones, Rhianne Kerr.

Competition Information

The new Super 8s competition has been designed for those players looking to play the game at the most challenging level. It will NOT replace the current competition format, but rather compliment it with an additional competition level. Players will be able to both participate in the new Super 8s and play with their current club team.

It is expected that the Super 8s format will appeal in the main to all State level players, however there is no minimal skill level required for players registering for this competition.

SUPER 8S COMPETITION WINNERS

2009/10 Rnd 1 - Vandine (Jeannie) - Players: Wendy Celarc, Kiera Fisher (c); Stephanie French, Jessica Toomey, Marissa Valle, Gloria Walsh, Karena Walsh, Amanda Wilson

2009/10 Rnd 2 - Burtenshaw (Dotti & Vi) - Players: Wendy Celarc, Lucy Dobbins, Jessica Downting, Jessica Toomey (c), Barbara Jones, Nicole McLintock, Jessica Toomey, Gloria Walsh, Karena Walsh.

2009/10 Rnd 3 - Little (Hazel ‘Jeannie’) - Players: Megan Capouski, Jessica Downting, Louise Farrugia, Catherine Jones, Tegan Kesby, Gloria Walsh, Karena Walsh (c), Keleigh Walsh.

FEATURES OF THE SUPER 8S

Competitions will run for 6 or 9 weeks. There will be multiple Super 8s competitions run during the season. Players will need to sign up for each competition separately.

There will be 4 teams in the competition, each of 8 players (this number may be increased subject to participation interest). Players will be 'drawn out of a hat' and allocated to one of the 4 teams. This process will be repeated for each Super 8s draw.

Should a player wish to introduce a new player to vigoro via this competition, then the player new recruit may play in the same Super 8s team for the first competition.

Rules will be modified slightly to encourage multiple bowlers and weekly batting order changes.

A reserve list will be created from players who may not be available each week but would like to play on an ad-hoc basis.

WHEN WILL GAMES BE PLAYED?

At this stage it is proposed that Super 8s games will be played at the 12 noon Saturday timeslot, however this is subject to change pending player interest. First Super 8s competition is scheduled to commence Saturday 18th September 2010.

COST TO PLAY

There is no additional cost to play if you are also playing in the Opens competition. Simply pay your normal season registration.

For players just wishing to participate in the Super 8s, registration fees are $25 player insurance (one-off fee for the season) game fees $30 (6-game competition) or $45 (9-game competition). Given the shorter competition length, Player insurance is due on Game 1 and game fees are due by Game 3.

THE PARRAMATTA COMPETITION CHANGES

All teams will be moved into one open grade. To keep the competition even, the stronger players will be given a handicap. This will be determined on a team by team basis and agreed by a grading committee. This will impact mostly on previous A grade teams. All teams should nominate one person to participate on the grading committee.

PLACES WILL BE LIMITED - REGISTER YOUR EXPRESSION OF INTEREST NOW TO PLAY IN THE SUPER 8S AT: nswvigoro@bigpond.com. Players will be notified of the team selection night closer to the date so that they may attend.
