From 2009 American College Cricket has set the bar higher for cricket in the USA and Canada, first by simply having a College Championship,and from the beginning planning the event as a TV-ready event.Next, by being the first to webcast.
This year, the focus is on having a first-class television production, comparable to top sports television. TV Asia will do a 9 cameras production, with slow motion replays,graphics, commentary etc that will pull cricket several rungs up the ladder closer to other American sports.
Accordingly it was decided to keep the total number of teams at 28, and not have a Special Guest team this year.(Our record is 3 wins to 2 losses against the Special Guests).
The Draft of the Teams into Conferences will be recorded for TV on Sunday Feb 26 at 12 noon at TV Asia Studios, Edison,NJ. To be broadcast Monday,time to be announced.
Bios must be submitted by Feb 26 and Rosters by March 3, to Lloyd Jodah, American College Cricket founder & President.
NOTE: No one, or company is authorised to solicit your teams’ equipment or travel business in our name. If anyone does,in that manner, or for any questions, contact Lloyd.
