The Trend Setter (TS)
TS is the player which does the best in a criteria. The rating of all other players are calculated taking the TS as the benchmark. Know All About TS. Here is an example:-
- TS Ave: 25.00; Player X Ave: 30.00; Section Points: 300.00
- TS Points: 300.00(Max); Player X Points: TS Ave/Ave X 300 = 25.00/30.00 X 300 = 250.00
- Ratings of all sections are calculated similarly with Ave being replaced by the Criteria Stat.
TT and NWT
Some sections consider performances only against the top teams (TT) and non weak teams (NWT). Here is some information:-
- Win/Loss Ratio is used to determine TT and NWT.
- They are calculated by decades.
- A bowler's performace is counted in TT or NWT if it comes against that team in the specific decade.
- Knock Out matches of T20 World Cup are also counted in TT.
- TT & NWT may be found in the last section.
