A set of teams should disagree like analysts, not duplicate like photocopies. The structure, slot by slot.
The structure
| Layer | Slots | Rule |
|---|---|---|
| The core | 7–8 | Identical across every team: confirmed roles only — openers who open, bowlers with guaranteed overs. |
| Swing slots | 2–3 | Where teams disagree: venue specialists, form gambles, the second keeper on spin decks. |
| C/VC bands | 2 per team | The real differentiator. Rotate bands across the set; in megas, low-ownership bands are the whole point. |

Same core, two band combos, one or two swing-slot splits. Covers the realistic outcomes.
Only with bankroll to spare. Bands and swing slots spread wide; the core still never changes.
The set is finished when the window closes. Lock-minute additions are tilt wearing a plan's clothes.
Multi-entry rooms are open on tonight's fixtures.
