Budget Draft Revised

This is going to be another mega draft.

I propose stingiest pick gets first pick in subsequent rounds. We have already established a wicket/runs equivalence.

Edit: I see this is how we're doing it. Nvm. @Pothas may want to join in that case.

There are still rounds here. Just that the round order is determined by total matches used.

will post the order in the morning to give any stragglers a chance. 24 hours for the first round at 12 every round thereafter

Why does the entire first round get more time? First pick getting additional time should be enough.

Picks don't have to be made in any order i.e. you can pick Tendulkar R1 and Ganteaume R2 if you wish, or vice versa.

Will compromise with ankitj - no timeouts in the first 24 hours and then 12 hours from there

Mike Proctor please

Not sure if it helps at all for me to put record alongside but if it does, 7 matches, 226 runs, 41 wickets

Guys,

I’ve encountered a bit of an issue with the rules as set out.... if somebody picks an uncapped player with their first pick then effectively they’ll get a double (or triple etc if they pick another uncapped player) pick.

Should it be reversed from fewest selections to most in the case of a tie for remaining caps?

Apologies if this is just my confusion but I thought effectively say I chose Nicholas Pooran as a random example of a player without a Test cap as my first pick I wouldn't get another pick until everyone else has had their 1st pick and then I'd probably be 1st pick for the start of 2nd round. And then if I chose another uncapped player I would still have to wait for everyone else to have their 2nd picks before I had my 3rd pick and so uncapped players would just get me an earlier spot in each round and the only likely way of a double pick would be if Ataraxia as the final drafter in Round 1 picked an uncapped player and therefore got first pick in Round 2 - but if he then picked another uncapped player that would just mean first pick in Round 3 rather then another pick straight away.

I also interpreted it this way.

seems the fairest way to go

We’ll run with the suggested idea for this draft and I’ll come up with something to allow a fluid order for an ODI version

Just so I`m not confused, because I am easily confused nowadays... we are doing draft rounds, were the round is determined by test cap number starting from lowest?

Each round order will be decided by who has the most caps remaining in their budget - from most to fewest.
