Ascending Test HS Draft

[ataraxia]

That's somewhat annoying for the purposes of this draft as he never crossed 40 aside from that innings.

Can confirm that's why FP doesn't like. But actually the first pick being interesting makes this sorta start more feasible IMO

 

[trundler]

Yeah definitely. This is the first time I've actually committed to one (and I mean committed -- on my phone while a passenger on a rainy, foggy highway!, and very fun. Ambrose the better pick surely

Don't think I've ever failed to make the first pick in these rounds. ?

 

[CricAddict]

Best if HS included with selection.
eg Walsh (30)

I was in a meeting with my boss till now and during the picking time. Had typed and kept the mobile secretly under the table as I was presenting to my boss and clicked on submit in the middle of the presentation. So, not much time to properly format the message.

We can always include HS with the player from the next round.

Damn it I am at the bottom there. Can I change again? But won't be fair to Bitmap so I will stick to my pick.

 

[CricAddict]

@Teuton can we have this as a 12 player selection draft just like that auction draft and choose 11 out of them for our teams? Or do you want to stick to only choosing 11 players?

• In this draft every pick will need to have a greater Test highest score than your previous pick.
• Will use a variable draft order format where the drafter with the lowest most recent HS picks next.
• So that we don’t get into a situation where there are no eligible players, I will implement a maximum score that you can pick for each ‘round’, TBA once I know how many participants there are.
• For something different, Bradman will be available, but only for your 11th pick.
• Round 1 will be a free for all at a predefined time so that the R1 order does not bias the results.
• Post in if interested.
• 8hr time-outs

Is the 8hr timeout not applicable for Round 1? @Archer6K timed out now in that case.

@Teuton

Do we wait longer, or start round 2?

At the moment you will be starting unless Archer picks someone who can stop that.

Allan Donald (37)
