Answer given on Yahoo Answers or other Q/A are simple instinct of answerer. I would like to repeat those words furthermore I want to substantiate them. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.moneycontrol.com/india/news/business/ipl-team-owners-confident-earning-revenues-post-splurge/17/00/327311. Q: We would like to know the possibility on how you would leverage individual players that you have bid for having paid so much for the time already? Is there a specific marketing strategy that will come in for each player that will work as a revenue generation model going ahead or will you essentially look at generating individual value from all of your players? Srinivasan: I explained to you that there are huge revenue streams coming in. All of us have gone with what we think is going to be matchwinning team or combinations. Ultimately the quality of cricket we deliver is what is going to bring in the people. We believe the stadiums will be packed, we believe we will get excellent crowds. We are not looking at this as some kind of proposition where we will lose money. There are two separate aspects. One is, we want to bring in good quality cricket. We are people who have been associated with cricket for a very long time. We believe we have a match-winning combination. The second aspect is we believe that this is also not going to be a losing proposition and ultimately the value of this franchise is like a right in a territory. This will grow by leaps and bounds. I do not know what you are trying to get at. But we believe it is a win-win situation, win for the players, win for the public, and win for the franchise owners. Mr. N Srinivasan is all so a President of AICF. In regard to whatever he has said about Cricket and Cricketers, I want to ask as a simple ordinary member of AICf and a citizen of India . What he think of Chess and a Chess Player, particularly of Grandmasters. Mahendrasingh Dhoni might be playing for about maximum of 60 days in three years ..... he is offered 6 crore i.e. Rs.10,00,000 per day. You are also a President of AICF, by a circular, you have told GM to submit their biodata (There are only 16 Gm in India) and offered Rs.10,000 for 10 day coaching. i.e. Rs.1000/- per day. Demand Supply of IMs level chess coaches The AICF shall pay Rs.10,000/- for GM's and RS.7,000/- or Rs 5000/- for others for a ten day coaching programme. For outstation coaches AICF will reimburse, on production of tickets, third A/c train fare and shall take care of the local hospitality. Coach unit = 10 days batch for a group of 10 General ratings statistics for India Jan 1 2008 Total (inactive inclusive): 3371 Total : 2485 Below statistics is valid for active players only: Grand Master : 16 Woman Grand Master : 5 International Master : 53 Woman International Master : 12 FIDE Master : 24 Woman FIDE Master number : 9 http://www.fide.com/ratings/avgtoplist.phtml?country=IND Rating of 2300 is considered as International Master level and Rating of 2500 is considered as Grand Master level India has 100 International Master or higher level players. (List attached) Considering all 100 are ready to coach throughout the year we have 2400 coach units. ( Coach unit = 10 days batch for a group of 10, 2 in one month, 12 month X 100 players of International Master or higher level) Fifty percent of these are very active players eager to upgrade their rating. These players it self will demand Grandmasters coaching if available at through away prize. In reality coach units may not go beyond 150. --- Supply Like Goa as one chess activity centre, in India there are around 100. In Goa there are around 35 Rated players out of which 10 are elderly may not opt for coaching if there is any fee but 25 Rated Players are willing to take IMs coaching even if there is a fee. A person takes 2 coach units in a year. There may we Active Chess players 2500 In a age group below 20 1800 Trying hard to be a Rated player 5000 (5000 + 1800) 6800 group of 10 680 group twice a year 1360 coach units---Demand Goa Active Chess players 35 In a age group below 22 25 Trying hard to be a Rated Player 60 Demand for good coaches (IMs level) in Goa and willing to pay for him Rs.2500/- per day, 16 coach units. I regularly visit AICF website may be once in a day. Core issue This was a good circular/notice . uploaded on the AICF website may be on 12 or 13 Jan 2008 INFORMATION TO ALL OFFICE BEARERS, STATE ASSOCIATIONS & CHESS PLAYERS COACHING PROGRAMME http://www.indianchessfed.org/News/2008/January/coachingprogramme01.asp I as a Secretary of Taleigao Chess Academy by my email dt. Jan 13, 2008 (copy enclosed) had congratulated AICF for coming out with coaching programme. Copies of this email had been sent to Acting Secretary as well as President of GSCA. This is the bad circular/notice uploaded on the AICF website may be on 17 Jan 2008 Appeal to Our Senior Players / IMS' / WIM's / GM's / WGM's / FM's and coaches http://www.indianchessfed.org/News/2008/January/natI13Girls/appealtoourplayerscoachingprogramme.asp In respect of above circular/notice came to my notice on 17 Jan 2008. I have informed the President about my reservations may be on Jan 20 and repeated there after. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Income figure of AICF quoted in Gomantak Times Apology In the Executive Meeting of GSCA on Sunday 9th March 2008 at Margao, wherein I was invited to the query regarding the figure quoted in the Gomantak Times I asked the amount Bambolim Chess Club had sent to AICF in respect of Open Rated Chess tournament held by them in the year 2006. Flat reply I got is, I am an invitee to the meeting, I have no right to get an answer for any question that I ask. I also stated that there were around 90 to 100 tournament very very big, very big, medium, small tournament held in India in the year 2007. Open Rated tournament held in Goa in 2006 was of medium level. As it will take months to substantiate the figure in Gomantak times as believed to be said by me and not to divert the attention from the core issue of Circular/notice dated 11 Jan 2008 Appeal to Our Senior Players / IMS' / WIM's / GM's / WGM's / FM's and coaches. I take the blame on me and Apologise to AICF , GSCA , executive members of AICF , GSCA or whosoever is related to this issue. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing.
