2019/20 New Zealand First-Class Season Draft (Division 1)

Kippax

Cricketer Of The Year
Exempt via their placing last season, if they elect to play again:
Chewie, Kippax, Howsie.

Three spots in Division 1 are open to prompt entries. If there's an overflow of two or more, I'll start a Division 2 thread.

Test matches: England (2, late Nov), Australia away (3, Dec-Jan), India (2, late Feb)
Plunket Shield: Oct-Nov (3), Feb-Mar (5)
NZA: India A in Jan-Feb (2)

Note: The Raval/Wagner type of player available for the early Plunket Shield rounds (Rd. 2 and Rd. 3 will clash with a NZ vs. England T20 series), the March Plunket Shield rounds (clashing with ODIs and T20Is vs. Australia), also players chosen for the two matches against India A, have an advantage from a scheduling point of view. Only a player's highest eight points hauls of the season will count towards his total.

Only five of your first XI draftees (six including the 12th man, who comes in for injuries) can score more bowling points in the season than batting points. Otherwise, infringing players on your team will go to zero.

Anyone you bat at No. 9-11 scoring more batting points in the season than bowling points, infringing players on your team will go to zero.

Your designated wicket-keeper will only score non-WK fielding points if he's making way for a gloveman with Test caps (Seifert for Watling, but not Phillips for Horne, etc.)

Ratio'd Spud Drafted player with the worst ratio of points to games played -100 points

King of the Openers Drafted player to score the most runs as an opener 200 bonus points

Non-Ravindra Emerging Player Excluding Rachin Ravindra, the highest points tally for a drafted player born 1997 or later 200 bonus points
Eligible would be Allen, Bhula, Chu, Clarkson, Fisher, Foxcroft, Z. Gibson, Leopard, Ludick, Murray, D. Phillips, Sears, Sheat, Smith, etc.

Team PPG Award Drafted team with the highest points per game played: 500 bonus points

Batting
Each Run Scored: 1 point
Duck: -10 points

Bowling
Wicket of a 1-5 bat: 30 points
Wicket of a 6-7: 25 points
Wicket of an 8-11: 15 points
Innings bowling average 20 or under: 10 Points (min. 5 overs)
Bowling economy rate 4 or above: -10 Points (min. 5 overs, bowling average must be above 30)

Fielding
Per catch 10 points
Per WK catch 8 points
Per run out 10 points
Per stumping 10 points

When are we planning on starting this? I'm away from the 21st - 25th September and 20 October - 17 November and probably won't have time to check in regularly in that period

Cricketer Of The Year
Hmm I'd say everyone would want the reigning champ to be one of those they bettered as they claimed the title, so we may start drafting as late as the 26th. Unless let's say half of the others who've now committed feel differently about it and just want to get on with it.

I don't think it'll be a problem in terms of us running up against the season's first games. We got all twelve rounds of drafting completed over the course of ten days last year.
