India Association Summer Sports – 2010
This year we have thought of implementing a new method in which summer sports can be held. The whole system is explained below
A survey was taken to see how many people are interested in playing what all different sports. We have got an excellent response i.e. to be exact; we have got around 90 feedbacks. There was another survey in which each person has to rate himself in each sport from a scale of 0-10. Now these 90 people have been divided into 3 groups each having 30 odd people.
System in detail
A computerized system has been devised which will decide which person will go into what group and the system will take into consideration the following points: Equal no. of players in each group. Players who have rated themselves in the high end (7, 8, 9 and 10) will be divided equally among the 3 groups considering all 10 sports Hence each group is equally strong in all sports Remaining players are divided in such a way that the cumulative ratings of all the groups are almost equal Selection is done on the basis of individual preferences from the survey. Members can be added, swapped or removed from a team representing a group in a sport at any point of time from within the group only, and the schedule planned for the summer sports will not be changed. For e.g. Ina cricket match if one player is not available then another player from amongst the group can be selected provided he is not playing for another team representing that group in that sport.
Now once the 3 groups are formed, let’s say we have the following 3 groups red, white and black.
Individual Sports
Now just consider one single red group. We have 30 players in red group. In singles sports like badminton, squash etc. each person in the group can participate in any sport. There are 2 choices for doubles and mixed-doubles (Depends upon the participation from girls) that each individual can make. Either he/she can have a partner from his/her own red group, in which case if they win say, badminton finals, then 10 points will be given to red group.
Else he/she can select a partner from white or black group, in which case if they win the badminton finals, then red group will get 5 points and the other group will get 5 points. This decision can be solely taken by the individual player.
Team Sports
Now for team sports like cricket, 30 Playersof each group can decide how many teams they want to field in the tournament. Let’s say one cricket team will be having 9 players. Then it’s the decision of 30 people from one red group to decide how many teams from red group will take the field in cricket tournament. It can be 1, 2 or even 3 teams (where in 27 people out of 30 are ready to play cricket) from each red, white and blackgroup. Now since people may go to India in the middle of summer sports, it is better to keep say 12 people in a cricket team even though say only 9 people will be playing in a match. So, it’s better to keep substitutes for each team sport. The substitutes can also be used for rotation of players as each player might not be available for each game. One more important thing is that: Consider Red group has 2 cricket teams which areparticipating in the cricket tournament. Let’s say one of the cricket team from the Red group crashes out in the knockout stages and the other team from the Red group qualifies for the next round, then, players from the team which has lost (which is not qualified to play in the next stage i.e. it has been knocked out completely)and has played all its matches (Even though the match may not have any importance on the future scheduled matches) can be incorporated into the team which has qualified for the next stage. As we all know, LAN games can be enjoyed only if played with a particular team with whom we have practiced a lot and hence LAN games will be played with the team of each person’s choice and there will be no points for LAN games. It’s just for fun. Number of players in Team sports are as follows: 1. Cricket 9 Players on each team 2. Football 9 Players on each team 3. Volleyball 6 Players on each team 4. Throw ball 6 Players in each team (If we have 6 women participants from each team) or else we will have mixed throw ball team comprising 3 boys and 3 girls
Group Organisation
One Group Coordinator will be assigned to each group from amongst the Executive committee or else the coordinator can be chosen by the Players of the group itself. It’s the responsibility of the group to decide how many teams will participate in each sport and who will be the captain in each team sport. The decision taken by the India Association executive committee will be final and binding.
The main reason for this to be implemented is as follows:
The group with the highest cumulative points (Points will be awarded to the team which wins 1st, 2nd or 3rd place in each sport…. Points table is given in the next page) will win the Championship Trophy. This Championship trophy will be continued in the coming years and will pave way to bringing friendly competition in all sports.
The points table for each sport is given as follows:
1st place for individual sports like badminton (for men’s, women’s -singles & doubles) will each get 10 points
Sports
Cricket Football Volleyball Throw ball Badminton Table tennis Squash Racquetball Chess Carrom
1st Place

2nd Place

3rd Place
25 25 25 25 3 3 3 3 3 3
The final call on the interpretation of the rules is at the discretion of the executive committee of India Association.
