Also see Gepps are to play Golden Grove at Harpers Field 2 games in a row in C1.
I know all too well how this happens, its a dogs breakfast the with the mycricket draw creator. Im sure its fantastic for all the premier competitions in the states who have the same amount of teams in every grade and the same clubs in each and play the same format in each grade at the same time.
Makes it hard when you have a two day comp and a one day comp where an oval is shared between 2 teams in the different comps
ATCA doesn't use the mycricket draw creator.
With 60 clubs of all different sizes and make ups, sharing ovals, etc, they can't possibly do it that way.
They use a base draw which has roughly 60 clashes in it, then go through and tweak the draw game by game as they can to minimise the clashes.
They then email the remaining clashes out and make it the club's responsibility to sort an oval.
I know of one club already that has 'home games' for 5 sides on 6 different ovals this season, and still they have issues with clashes.
