Test Auction Draft (Stipulation Based)

[ankitj]

Just waiting on @Michaelf7777777 l to finish off this round.

Are you guys open to questions that require a bit of research or you want straightforward ones where it is easy to identify players who fit the criteria?

Don't underestimate nerdiness of this lot.

 

[Himannv]

Straighforward ones please. Research takes time and I don't always have loads of that.

Haha. Thats not what I am thinking. I was wondering if few drafters would lose interest if more research is involved.

 

[CricAddict]

Unlike an open auction, we do not have to follow up and bid in this draft. Just give you 3 picks and it is over.

So, research is the only time taken for this draft and a fun element.

 

[ataraxia]

I'd prefer straightforward but these questions are okay.

don't really understand this. in this draft you have to bid for 36 players and in most others you just pick 11 players

 

[anil1405]

So that's a mixed feedback.

I will stick with 'Easy to identify player' questions then.

Yes but there are multiple bids on an open one right. Here it is a single bid.

By this forums standards. Pretty much.

Are you comparing only auction drafts or just drafts in general? I think this does take more time than regular drafts but maybe lesser than the open auction draft but that is to be expected.

Yes,I was comparing only auction drafts all the while.

 

[CricAddict]

Then I too prefer you to continue to do it. ?

 

[Line and Length]

I don't mind a bit of research. It's the bidding strategies that I need to learn.

 

[anil1405]

All bids in.

The fight for Hadlee and Hutton couldn't have been more intense.

Patterson is a good player and a decent pick actually at 128. With Flower already in my team to keep, I will take Patterson to partner Walsh.
