The 2007 FFCC Awards

Associated Press

The FFCC Awards comprise two unique sets of awards - one subjective, voted on by a jury, the other based on numbers. We'll shortly be announcing the nominees.

The Jury Awards pay tribute to the best individual performances during the calendar year 2007. The winners, picked by FFCC's expert panel - comprising some of the world's most discerning observers of the game - from a shortlist compiled by the club's staff, will be announced at the February encampment extravaganza.

The other part, the Norris Stats Awards, is based on hard data. FFCC records data on 16 parameters for each ball bowled in indoor cricket. We can tell you who has been the most consistent batsman of the year, who has scored the greatest percentage of runs in boundaries, who has bowled the most dot-balls, and more. The awards in this category will also be announced live at the February encampment also.

Broadcast rights are currently being negotiated with a number of interested parties. A crucial part of the decision making process for the FFCC board hinges on the capacity of the successful bidder to perform a live outside broadcast from the Congo, location of this years FFCC encampment.
