[morgieb]

In if still space.

 

[watson]

G'day and thanks.

 

[Red]

Love to if there is still room....

 

[Dan]

In if there's room.

Large drafts are always interesting, given the ATG players go very quickly. Means the later rounds are all about discovering talented players who are criminally underrated.

 

[Jager]

Going by the first in best dressed rule, a 12 man draft would include...

If everyone is happy to extend to 15, then we'd see Monk, morgieb and rvd in. If not, they will be the first players included when people drop out or get relegated.

 

[kyear2]

Your choice, you are the boss. No problem either way. 12 i s preferred, 15 is more challenging.

 

[Jager]

I think 12 would probably be way more efficent and prevent the draft from dragging on, which is unfortunate because some excellent drafters will miss out on the first round.

So, on how big the relegation zone should be. Instinct says two, which would mean morgieb and Monk gain promotion at the end of the round and the bottom two vote pollers exit the league until they are in line to re-enter. This adds pressure to the draft, as in future rounds even the championship leader may be relegated for a round after a disaster of a draft.

We have six points-scoring positions (1-6), four neutral mid-table positions (7-10) and two demotion positions (11-12).

First draft rules
ATG test draft, players must have played at least one test match.
No Bradman.
There is a 12 hour selection zone before you are skipped. You still choose at any time, but the draft continues and you may miss out on players.
We will have twelve rounds. Your 12th pick does not have to be your 12th man.
A new thread will go up on Cricket Chat where everyone votes on three different teams, which is how we will determine the winners, point-scorers etc.

Alright, the draft league is on.

 

[watson]

These rules seem fair enough to me.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Fair enough

 

[MrPrez]

Is there no way there could be a separate draft for the reserves and the top 2 are the ones that get promoted?

I was trying to think of something like that too, so if you have any suggestions it'd be great.

Erm, not to state the obvious but could there not just be a standard draft for them called the reserve draft?:P

There could, but there's only three players so I am not sure how well it would work

 

[MrPrez]

Keep reserve league sign ups open haha.

 

[Jager]

They definitely are, anyone who is interested is welcome to join the reserves.

Give the reserves really out-there drafts? "Must have played Test Cricket with Graham Gooch" or "Pre-1900 XIs".

Something like that gives you a challenge, even with a limited number of people.

Fantastic idea, where would we run it? Have two drafts here or a CW Draft League Reserve thread? Either way please win, I consider you my rival

 

[MrPrez]

The latter imo.
