IPL Auction/Team Organization Thread

"There will be a 48-hour period for those submissions."

In before the deadline and it doesnt say anything about not revising bids before the 48-hr period ends.

But if people dont like it then I can revert back. No big deal.

Period 1 runs from now until Wednesday 11pm (UK).

A franchise may not adjust the initial auction list during Period 1. That is, you may only bid once for players in the first round.

It's not really a question of me not liking it.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

'tis true. No revisions. Plenty of time for revisions in a couple of hours.

Mumbai - Fuller @ 13

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

End of Period 1

The following teams have placed lone bids for players:

Chennai: Goff 5, Kearsley 9
Kolkata: Heads 5
Rajasthan: Ritchie 10
Deccan: Rose 15
Delhi: Gough 9

These players may be signed if the franchises so desire. You do not have to sign them, however. Please confirm any signings before bidding on anyone else.

Should they be signed, that would leave:

Chennai: 6 points (but cannot bid again, due to maximum of 2 players signed; alternatively Chennai could sign just one of the players and may then bid for a 2nd player in Period 2 with 15 or 11 points)
Kolkata: 15 points
Rajasthan: 10 points
Delhi: 11 points
Deccan: 5 points

These points may be carried on into Period 2 (starting in 1 hour) to bid for players. If you choose not to sign these players, however, you carry your full 20 points into Period 2 to pursue other targets. Remember that you must sign at least one player in the auction, with a maximum of two.

See, I've tried to make this as complicated as possible (and really drag on as long as possible).

Remember, in order to sign a second CW player, you must release one existing international.

Players with more than one bid stand as follows:

13 - SE Fuller (Mumbai on top)
11 - G Sriram (Delhi/Kolkata)
6 - Corrin (Bangalore)

Any questions, and I expect several, ask 'em now or forever hold etc. etc.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Mumbai raise Fuller bid to 15.

 

[Retox]

Rajasthan would like to confirm Ritchie for 10 points.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

That leaves Rajasthan with 10 points that may be spent in Period 2. But again, you'd have to release a current international first.

 

[Simon]

I'd like to sign both Goff and Kearsley, this means I have to dump one of my current internationals yes?

 

[kears_falcon_9]

Awesome, great to be snapped up early in the IPL Auction, should be good playing along side Goffy as well. Good work Simon

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Devo.

 

[age_master]

Deccan confirms Rose for 15 points

 

[age_master]

Deccan bid 5 on DK Rai.

 

[Agent TBY]

Kolkata confirm JJD Heads for 5.

Sriram - 16 (I had bid on him first and I believe neither Kolkata nor Delhi have enough points to outbid me.)

 

[Athlai]

Kolkata confirm JJD Heads for 5.

Woohoo

 

[Agent TBY]

Sriram - 16 (I had bid on him first and I believe neither Kolkata nor Delhi have enough points to outbid me.)

Think Kev can still, if he decides to withdraw the bid for himself. Don't see why he would, though. 16 is way too much for someone who's just back from inactivity.

Not that I'm complaining, though.

Woohoo

Shouldn't have done that, in hindsight.

Haha nah, welcome aboard.

 

[Athlai]

I have the worst friggin' Indian domestic players, need a solid performer in the mix.

Can't do worse than my domestic batsmen, tbh. Their stat pages are just hilarious.

Anyway, will give up on myself. On that note:

DP Smith - 10

 

[Athlai]

Haha want to bet?
Yuvraj is goodish averaging 26.67
Then Goel averaging 23.31
Followed by Irfan Pathan 19.59

Then I think Ramesh Powar or Chawla are my best batsman. Cringeworthy.

 

[Goughy]

Sriram- 20

Delhi withdraw bid for Gough
