Howdy stackers,
First of all, kindly take my apologies for a slight delay in the Pick 'em post for WBBL Survivor Pool. However, considering we aren't many in the pool, I doubt we may see all the rounds. Anyways, as they say it's better than none, we should begin the first ever Cricket Survivor Pool on ~Stacker_sports.
As I mentioned earlier, you can only pick one team for one round. But, I haven't given you an idea about how many teams or what are the teams. So, let me introduce you to the teams first.
There are only 8 teams in WBBL.
  • Melbourne Renegades
  • Melbourne Stars
  • Brisbane Heat
  • Perth Scorchers
  • Sydney Sixers
  • Sydney Thunder
  • Adelaide Strikers
  • Hobart Hurricanes
  • For every round in WBBL Survivor Pool, you've to pick one team out of these 8 teams. I shall only post the scheduled matches in the round from the next post.

The Matches for Round 1

Pick your team for this round from these games as one or two teams might not have a game in this round.
Best of Luck
Important: The Post for Round 2 will be available on October 31.
Reminder: Tagging those who may still buy in the pool before the first game begins tomorrow. @Carresan, @hasherstacker @Golu @TheMorningStar @IamSINGLE
The Prize Pool: 8800 Sats.
I'm riding with the Thunder, just like in the NBA.

Thanks. It's noted.
I've listened the Cricket part of the POD and it seemed like both of you believe more on the odds than your prediction skills. Sorry for having differing opinion but Cricket as I said many times is a nasty game. It's so unpredictable that the odds run like a pendulum while match is on.
I'd better go with the team history and analysis of the ground and conditions alongwith who has better what. So, I'd suggest you to read some analysis of the teams for this year's WBBL or you can also read from the links which are embedded with the schedule up in the post.
Best of Luck.

I was going to go with the Heat, but I actually looked at the standings and saw they were pretty even with their opponent.
reply
Alright. You seem to have come well prepared. That's good.
reply
Give me the Heat.
reply
Thanks. It's Noted.
Now, it's certain. Either you or @siggy47 are rebuying for the next round.
I and @undisciplined can also be eliminated. But we're not locked in the same game so we may both survive.
reply
I like the Melbourne Renegades.
reply
Thanks. It's Noted.
May I know why you actually like Melbourne Renegades?
Here's Last Year's Points Table for WBBL.

I believe they are this year's sleeper team. The reasons for my picks are a well guarded, proprietary secret.

well guarded, proprietary secret.
Defenseman Language!
I can already see you rebuy into the pool after the first round.
reply
I'm a sixers fan. But I'm going with last year's winner.
My pick for round one is Adelaide Strikers.
reply
Excellent initiative. I already voted, I love sports.
reply
You've to buy in with 2100 sats to participate in this pool. I don't know why you've voted there. This pool isn't about voting. It's about survival.
It's a prediction game. You need to predict a winner team each round. Those whose picks lose get eliminated and those whose picks win move forward.

Sorry then I misunderstood the dynamics.
