Cricketer Of The Year
Following the success of JOJOXI's (Slightly) Wacky Test draft, I thought I might conduct an ODI version with a few tweaks.
The draft order is as per random draw for odd number rounds followed by a reverse order for the even numbered rounds.
Each player has 4 'trump cards' which can be used as follows. Each card can only be used once.
1. STEAL: A player may steal the previous player's selection but it can only be done within 2 hours of the previous player making that selection.
2. DICTATE: After making a selection a player may dictate the next 5 selection must be from the same country or decade debut as his selection. A "Dictate" cannot be over-ridden or changed by another Dictate. Nor can the "dictator's" selection be stolen.
3. SKIP: After making a selection, a player may nominate 3 players to skip their selection for that round (giving them 2 selections in the next round). This card could only be played if the nominated players are in the same round as the player using the card. (ie if there were only 2 selections remaining in the round, the card should not be played.)
4. FREE-for-ALL: After making a selection, a player may rule the next 5 selections be made in free-for-all fashion (ie first in first selection) and the free-for-all is to be completed within 12 hours. This card is designed to be used if players feel the draft is going too slowly. No other cards can be played during a free-for-all.
Time limit: 12 hours. Once timed out, a player must wait until the next round for their catch-up selection.
Who's in? Any questions or clarificatons?
