Draft Game - Fantasy Cricket 2017

Also it is time to start thinking about next year.

I do plan to run it in pretty much the same format. As early adopters I will give you first crack at the 2018 comp so please post here if you want to be in it next year. The draft will begin in early Dec in a new thread.

I have been happy with how its run (hopefully you have too) and it did confirm to me that 10 teams is the right number as there was not much left after the minidrafts. So to lock in one of those slots please post here and whatever slots are left will be open to the rest of the forum when i start the new thread.

I was thinking about dual-position players - mainly since SL had about 10 keeper-batsmen who could be either and this meant that we had an excess of keepers, but now Dickwella seems to be the #1 wk in all forms so i will probably just put the others as bats and leave how it is unless there are some other anomalies that have arisen.
Was the most exciting draft in this forum since the result is based on actual performance. And can't really find a flaw in the way it was run.

Definitely in for 2018.

Didn't play 2017 but would be keen to get a spot for 2018 in this most prestigious Draft run by what I can only say is one of the best forum members of all time.

That is a weird outcome. The scores are calculated at the end of the quarter and I'm not going back and changing them. Nothing to do with the fact he was on my team, just keeping it simple and happy to do that if it happens again.

Yea it's pretty weird. Has that happened before? I was just posting it here because I immediately thought of this thread for some reason.

Interesting stuff.
