Silent auction draft with a twist

I'm proposing a test draft which is a slight modification of the one that was recently run by AndrewB: http://www.cricketweb.net/forum/cricket-chat/77541-draft-idea-silent-auction.html

AndrewB said:
Each drafter starts with $1,000,000 to buy their XI.

In Round 1 you pick 11 players and an amount to bid for each player so that the total of your bids is $1,000,000, and e-mail me your list of bids. You have then bought any player for whom you've outbid everyone else.

Suppose you manage to buy 3 players for a total of $327,814; then in Round 2 you would bid for 8 players (not bought by anyone in Round 1) with your total bids being $672,186.

Bidding continues until everyone has at least half the drafters have 11 players.

Hoping to get about 12 nominations. Please chime in if you are interested.

Sounds interesting but do I guess that some teams end up unfilled?

Yes, if you don't complete your team you are disqualified. Idea is to get drafters to think hard about actually getting slots filled fast too rather than go all out for top 2-3 players in 1st round and then fill with leftover cricketers later.

Have 3 sign ups. Will wait for more.

ankitj, sorry, I'll have to give it a miss, unlikely to have time over the next few weeks.
