DDD - Draft by Debut Decade

Line and Length

Cricketer Of The Year
Following the relative success of my first venture into conducting a draft, I have decided to organise another one. There should be less controversy than my Restricted Draft as the rules are straight forward and don't involve syllables or surname debates.

Participants select players who made their debut in different decades. The decades are 1960s, '70s, '80s, '90s, '00s and '10s. You can pick no more than 2 debutants from each decade and no more than 2 players from any Test nation.

Draft order is by randomiser for Rounds 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 with the order reversed for Rounds 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10.
Round 11 will be decided on the basis of earlier randomising so that those most disadvantaged obtain the earliest picks. Confused? see page 17 of Restricted draft.

There will be a limit of 12 participants.

When making a selection, please indicate the decade in which they made their debut.

Hoping to see my previous co-draftees along with a couple more.

LL - is it possible to run all randomizers at once so we know the full order for all rounds? just a feedback from last time - sometimes the draft ran slowly due to us not having the orders and people running clueless about when their pick is on. I think if we have all the orders for all rounds together we'd know exactly when to sleep and when to pick.

Just to double check as you mention Test nations - when we are looking at their debut dates it is debut in Test cricket rather than international cricket more widely

Fair request - will do.

Their debut refers to their Test debut. In the case of someone like Kepler Wessels he has 2 debuts - one with Australia and one with South Africa. In his case you would need to specify which country you are choosing him from as there is a limit of 2 from each Test country.
