An all time Test draft.
The difference with this one is that rather than having each round of picks have a randomised order, the order is decided on by a preliminary round of cricket trivia questions. Essentially, by doing better in the quiz, you "earn" a better pick.
I'm looking for players who'll be able to email in answers within a 24-hour window each round, and be online enough make regular 12-hour picks. If you don't want to play but would like to help me write quiz questions, that'd be handy.
Each set of quiz questions will have 10 questions and a tie breaker. I'll try to make the difficulty such that we have a good range of success between participants. This may take a few goes.
In order for the latter quiz rounds to be just as relevant as the first, there will be quizzes towards the end that decide the order for more than one round.
Rules
1. Since good picks are "earned", everyone is eligible, from Bradman to my nan. (bowls some useful offies, ftr)
2. The penalty for not emailing in answers and making everyone wait for more than 24 hours for nothing is getting a sheep. Missing a 12-hour pick means you get skipped, and can catch up later.
3. Don't google/wikipedia/statsguru the answers. Obviously I have no way of enforcing this, but if you do cheat, you're just going to have to live with the fact that you're a **** who ruined the game.
