What is the SCC?
The Stick Cricket Council (SCC) is the governing body of Stick Cricket.
The SCC is responsible for the organisation and governance of Stick Cricket's competitive matches. It promulgates (go on, Google it!) the SCC Code of Conduct, which sets professional standards of discipline in Tournaments, Leagues and in the experimental Multiplayer arena.
History of the SCC
The SCC was founded in 2004 by representatives from England and Australia and is chartered to ensure that the spirit of Stick Cricket is upheld.
The acting SCC President is Oliver Sutton who was hastily appointed following the sudden death of his predecessor. A coronial inquiry stated that former SCC President Dan Saul Knight’s demise was attributed to exhaustion sustained in a Kingston night club during the 2007 World Cup. It was announced recently that former West Indian peanut farmer Dwayne Pipe will fill the role of SCC President from 2009 until 2011. Pipe is best known for his marriage to the popular British actress Sue Ridge-Pipe.

Head2Head FAQ
Q: Head2Heads look a bit different, what has changed?
A: Now you compete for your country in each match in every series rather than just a single Head2Head match that covered the series.
Q: What's the difference between Test and ODI Head2Heads?
A: In test matches you begin with a 5th day scenario chasing down the lead inside the remaining 20 overs. ODI's are a straight forward 10 over run chase. Results in both of these game modes count towards your countries global ranking. T20's are a 5 over slog exhibition match for bragging rights.
Q: How do the SCC Rankings work?
A: For tests, it's based on the winner of the test series. For ODI's, the winner of each match gets the points.
Q: You didn't fully answer my question. How do the SCC Ranking actually work?
A: I was trying to dodge that one! :) The boffins at the SCC have a complicated set of rules and formulas that very few people can actually understand, so you will have to trust us, it is fair. If you are still curious you will find a full explanation at the bottom of the rankings tables.
Q: What happened to the old Head2Head table? India was leading!!!!!!
A: It's gone! The new ODI and Test ranking tables have replaced it. Rest assured, Indian fans are a force to be reckoned with....
