ATG T20 Tournament.
Have you ever pondered what country has had the best T20 players of all time. Well, this tournament is perfect for you! Every current Test playing nation will be included, meaning sides like Zimbabwe and Bangladesh have a chance to make some upsets.
The format
I have split the teams into two groups, and each country will play 10 games in the round robin aspect of the tournament, 5 home and 5 away. Then, the top 3 teams from each group will qualify for the Knockout stages. The 2nd and 3rd placed teams from each group will play 2 legs (1 home and 1 away) in a 'qualifying final' aspect to it. The winner of the qualifying final will play the 1st ranked team from their group in the semi finals, with the winner of each series to play in the grand final (also 2 legs).
So, what are the groups?
I have tried to make the groups as even as possible, but total equality is definitely not achievable.

Finally, any ties will be decided by a super over, and if the super over is tied, both teams will receive half a point for their efforts.
Hope you all enjoy this series!
