World Cup 2015 - Draft

Red

The normal awards that everyone else has
Can I make a suggestion that if an injured player is replaced in a squad, the person with the injured played automatically gets the replacement player?

I don't think there should be restrictions on the balance of the team, but I'm not in the comp so whatevs! :P

I think restrictions are good because people might be able to "cheat" the point system by picking XI batsman, XI bowlers or whatever if they've discovered that particular type of player scores points more easily. I'd probably loosen them quite a bit though, only having two potential team balances is quite strict.

I feel like picking players to do well based on the rules everyone already knows is kind of the point, and I'd rather see that rewarded. As a casual observer it's much more interesting to watch it unfold with creative strategy going into it rather than just picking down the line.

Someone remind SK that there are no added benefits of picking a player in the last minute for this draft ;)

We will draw orders for 11 rounds. Upon your turn you have to pick a playr of your choice. Just make sure you do not break the rules. Build a team of 11 with given combinations and then let the work cup begin.

Your players will gain or lose points with their performance.
Forgive my ignorance, but I'm just clarifying. When it becomes my turn (after SaintKopite has selected) I can select any player, from any squad, who will play in the World Cup?

OK. Can't go far wrong with Virat Kohli. In excellent knick at the moment and will have plenty of game time. Kohli for me.

Does it now immediately become Weldone's turn?

We will need to pick 5 players / day if we have to complete the first phase of the draft by 10th February.

Make the time between picks 6 hours. Still works just as well.
