Hello, an idea inspired from thoughts about how the County Championship could look if they threw money at it prior to the IPL.
I'm looking for 6 or more players to take part in a County Championship draft. Each player will choose to represent 1 of the 18 existing English/Welsh counties.
Rules are
* Each team can retain up to 2 players from their real-life squads prior to the draft.
* Each team must end the draft with at least 3 players that represent their county in real life.
* Each team must have at least 8 domestic players - players that currently play for any county and do not count as overseas.
* Each team can have a maximum of three overseas players - there are no restrictions on who these overseas players are.
Draft Order
* The draft order throughout this draft will be the same - the player representing the county with the fewest number of England Test caps amongst current players will be first in each round and county with most number of England Test caps amongst current players will be last in each round.
In the event of a tie with number of England caps those tied will alternate draft positions with each other in each round.
* All teams will feature in first rounds of the draft, if they retain players they will just reach 11 players quicker. In essence the decision is whether 1/2 retentions from your county are better than 10th/11th round picks from a wider pool.
I am going to enter but will pick my county last.
If you wish to enter let me know - along with the county you will represent.
If you have any questions please let me know.
