Look's promising

 

[Noble One]

K Akmal

 

[NUFAN]

I don't really get the point of us having to make the keeper silent if they've all been posted now?

The basics would be that each person has a fixed budget to spend on their 11-man squad and for each round submits silent bids on the fixed list of players in that round. You can bid for as many or as few as you want in each round but can only get 1 player per round.

The highest overall bid received in a round gets that player, then the highest for the remaining players in the round and so on. If someone is left without a valid bid then they will pay a sum to be determined for whatever player is left over (equivalent to the highest amount bid in that round)

Have a few questions on these. Is it one round per category (wicketkeeper in this case)?

Just throwing this example out to see if I got it clearly:

If I bid $10,000 for Player A and someone else bids $11,000 for Player A, then the second bidder gets the player and it goes to another round where I can bid for another available player in that list. Is this right?

 

[gnieraw]

Sounds a great idea

 

[silentstriker]

You have $10,000 total for all the players in your draft, correct?

 

[silentstriker]

Also, what if I have the highest bid for both Akmal () and Engineer, how is it decided which I get? Do we send in our rankings with our bids as well?

Also, is it a maximum bid? So if the next highest bid is $200 for Bradman and my bid is $500, do I pay $500, or do I pay $201?

Obviously $500. Wouldn't make any sense to pay 1$ higher than the second highest bid. Might as well bid the entire $10,000 on every player you want then

 

[Himannv]

So are we allowed to make bids for more than one player?

 

[Shri]

We should first nominate the players we would like to have in the side and then the bidding starts later, right?

I thought it was 10mil.

How do you mean?

The bids are all silent as each person only has 1 bid on each player. I provided a list of keepers so far so that people would know who not to nominate.

There's only 1 round of bidding.

When it's all closed I'll list the players in that round.

What you need to then do is email in a bid on as many players as you want to bid for, don't worry because you will only get one person in a round.

For example, you may wish to bid $2m for Gilchrist, $1m for Akmal, $500,000 for Healy and so on for the other players in the draft.

I'll go down in order.

The highest bid of the round gets that player, then I look at the next highest bid for any other players in the draft and so on till someone's left with Akmal.

Also, is it a maximum bid? So if the next highest bid is $200 for Bradman and my bid is $500, do I pay $500, or do I pay $201?

You pay what you bid for him.
