iBL so far
Teams screwed up auction big time. Their bidding strategy seemed a complete mess, with no expert knowledge of players capability.
Players bought in a helter-skelter way without any considerations as to team composition.
Argument: "The teams were also thinking in terms of marketability" Not true. We have seen by the team compositions so far that the franchises will go out of their skin to win the tournament. If a player sucks then he/she is not marketable.
Argument: "Noone knew the actual rules of the tournament" True. The teams might have been left in the dark regarding rules flr this tournament. They are still nowhere to be found. Also quite a lot of confusion regarding number of foreigners in line up, ability to play two matches within a tie, substitution of players in the roster and so on.
Thus many teams realize that they have too expensive players on their roster. They have by chance made some great buys, and there is players that perhaps should have been coaches instead, i.e. Taufik who played like a joke and was humiliated in his match, but has been doing all the singles coaching.
Foreign players anggry as some teams try to shortchange them for money due to the decrease in value of rupees.
All players unhappy with travel arrangements.
IBL definately a succes despite all these problems. Badmintainment is going on and maybe BWF should look to adapt some of the changes employed by IBL
