Number of matches

Cricinfo has reported there will be 74 matches, for the 2011 season. This means it wont be a simple home-and-away series, like previous years. Therefore the current table used, doesn't make sense. I assume one team will play 5 others twice, and 4 others once. Along with the same 4 game final series, this makes 74 games. Maybe the extra games can simply be blocked out in the table.

Points Table

Even though the teams are categorised in two groups, there standings will be compared in the same table. So we should put up a single points table instead of seperate tables for group A and B. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.163.87.193 (talk) 15:25, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

I've done it and put it in one table. Let's see what happens.--Anaxagoras13 (talk) 12:05, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

compared by who?

so theres NOTHING here that shows them in the 2 groups? considering the top 2 of the SEPERATE groups go through its pertinent this way.

Wiki[pedia is not a new service to cater to the fpresentations of other websites. as this page says the top 2 go through nad thus the seperate groups are more affirmative than the random and nonsensical singkle group that means NOTHING.Lihaas (talk) 14:56, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Someone needs to read the rules once again...The ten teams will be split into two groups of five, but will be ranked together in one composite league table. Also:

The teams that finish first and second in the league table will contest the first playoff, which is effectively a semi-final (Game A). The teams that finish third and fourth will play each other in a knockout that is effectively a quarter-final (Game B). The loser of Game A will play the winner of Game B in a match (Game C) that will decide the second finalist that will play the winner of Game A in the grand final. This playoff format was previously used in New Zealand's domestic one-day tournament last season.

Nowhere does it state that the teams must come from separate groups. Thus in theory, two teams from Group A or two teams from Group B could qualify for the first playoff. Cs-wolves(talk) 23:28, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

How do we edit the points table? Kdg81 (talk) 18:40, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

It's a templated table...which you can find here. Cs-wolves(talk) 19:50, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, mate! Kdg81 (talk) 18:37, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

Attendance

Are there any stats out there, on the attendance of individual matches. Would be good info to add to the games. Davo499 (talk) 13:01, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

Flag icons

I suggest that there should be flag icons in the MoM field; either that of the country of the player who gets the MoM or more better, the flag of the respective IPL team. Fernando-the-King (talk) 14:31, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

Unnecessary icon decoration. Simple as that. Besides, you can already see which team the man of the match plays for and you can click on that team link in the scorebox. Cs-wolves(talk) 23:28, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

I suggested it because the flag was placed for the matches of previous IPL tourneys - isn't it better if all of them follow a same pattern on this site? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fernando-the-King (talk • contribs) 12:05, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

In 2008 and 2010, yes...but not 2009. But it still does not make it acceptable...they still create unnecessary links and add unnecessary flagicons; you can just click the team's page to the left of the MotM and find which country they are from. No hardship there. Cs-wolves(talk) 19:50, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

Green colour for the top 4 teams

Hi folks,

Although I feel its a tad early for this, can we have the green colour scheme for the top 4 teams in the IPL 2011 points table?

Kdg81 (talk) 18:20, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

I'd wait until a team is through before adding it in. Cs-wolves(talk) 19:50, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

→ Agree, however, it would be great to see how the teams are progressing every day. FYI..we have already a similar scheme in place for BARCLAY'S Premier League Table where the first 3 spots are shaded as (Qualified for Champions League), last 3 spots for relegation etc. The teams "actually" occupying those slots change every weekend and final spots are known only after all teams play 38 games. Just wanted to ensure consistency, what do you feel?

Kdg81 (talk) 18:35, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

Erm, perhaps take it up on the Wikiproject talk page...you may get more responses there than on this page. There's already an IPL section on the discussion board, so you might want to put it on there! Cs-wolves(talk) 18:39, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

I feel that there should be some sort of on going notation to mark the top 4 teams that would make the playoffs at any given moment. This will show casual viewers a quick hit of who is currently in a playoff spot. Ploben (talk) 13:20, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

Using match summary on the main page

The main page doesnt need all the match details. Only the summary is enough. This has been discussed in the WP:CRIC here. There is already a resolution to use the summary template in the main articles and the larger template in a page for the matches.

I am making the changes. Thanks. ashwinikalantri ^talk 07:43, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

India Map

This is not the map recognized in India. Does not show Kashmir properly. please change —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.73.216.104 (talk) 16:57, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

explain this to the rest of us

wikipedia is written from an international standpoint - please explain what the subject of this article is so that people not already familiar with the subject can undersatnd what the article is about. μηδείς (talk) 05:18, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

 Fixed I made the match summary a little more comprehensible, hopefully. I'll remove the tag.--Johnsemlak (talk) 07:57, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
