Scorchers Monday. Sorry didn't realize they played twice.
reply
However you're choosing a team not matches so both matches will count. If you believe scorchers are gonna win both matches choose them otherwise you can pick any other team.

What? They have to win both matches?
The other teams only have to win 1 but scorchers have to win 2 to win the week?
Do I get two wins and skip next week if they win both?
reply
You need to pick only one team out of the following games, choose wisely as one or the two teams might be playing more than one game. More games means more risk of elimination.
Yes, that's why you need to pick wisely.

Ok, I don't get the logic behind it but I will stay with the scorchers since I already picked them.
reply
The logic is that there's no limit on picking the same team every round but this puts a cap on the repetition and will also involve some strategy.

I get that but I don't see how that outweighs the competitive imbalance of some players having to win 1 game and other players having to win 2.
I know in the baseball pool we had a similar situation where some teams would play 6 games in a week and others 7 but the difference between 6 and 7 games and 1 and 2 is pretty significant.
Anyways, my fault for not reading the rules more clearly. All good.

Everyone's free to choose the team that's playing only 1 game. This rule is not there to outweigh the competitive imbalance but to let the players use their brains ;) before picking.
In WBBL pool, I had to omit a few matches due to some teams playing more matches. This time I've decided to add each match and let everyone choose whichever team they want.
Perth and Heat are playing two games this round but we stil l have sixers, stars, strikers and Renegades with only one game.
Hurricanes and thunde don't have a game this round. This means you can't pick them but it will also be that those teams which have 2 matches this round might not have a match in a future round.
