Best of 130/5-fer ODI Limit Draft

[anil1405]

If you don't mind that would be great.

Yeah I can do that. Plus maybe we vote for top 3 from each thread and the final 6 can compete for the ultimate showdown.

In that case, we'll stay at 130 (not 135)

130 is much more restrictive than 5-fers I feel though. The balance is kinda not there imo. 140 cuts off like 60-70% top targets anyways.

Wouldn't it be nice to try something different for once. Running the same draft in two separate threads by splitting the drafters into nine in each thread.

If that seems like extra work then I can handle one thread where I post picked players and each round order etc.

Wouldn't people just copy from the other thread then rather than putting in the work?

You meant will take "inspiration"?? But seriously though, your team can only get that much strong if you just copy from others.

Where's the fun/challenge in that?

I don't know... I think a single draft would be more fun

This draft is already restrictive enough. Would be mayhem with 19 participants. It's definitely one of those I feel with a 11-12 cap. And let's try this for a change of pace nah.

Yeah and I don't want to kill the fun/challenge and practically there will be people looking at the other thread.... Wouldn't picking non great players be more fun for once?

 

[capt_Luffy]

Would be interesting though if there's some way to restrict viewing the players picked by one Group to the others.....

Is there a way to password protect a thread or something?

Okay, here's an idea. How if instead of threads as usual, this draft is conducted on a group DM?? That certainly would make it impossible for others to peek in.

Yeah can do that

@Fuller Pilch . Also pls consider 140 again. 130 is like 4x more restrictive for batsmen than 5-fer is for bowlers

That does end up being a lot more work. Does it matter if the same players are picked in different drafts?

I'd expect 7th graders playing the draft for the first time to do that. With each of us having our own favourites and strategies I believe there will be a sense of uniqueness to a larger extent.

I am honestly fine either way. Same players are likely going to be picked anyways. Thala's worried that given high amounts of research is needed, someone can just skip that and copy who others are picking.

There are a lot of quality ODI bats from the 80s and 90s who only scored 1 or 2 (low) 100s or even none at all. With only 9 per draft (or 10 in one), I think a 130 restriction is fine.

I would rather keep the 1 player pool, to go deeper and make it more interesting.
And have 2 ppl up as suggested.

We can maybe vote on this
