Taboo Draft

[uvelocity]

well I could have picked a batsman the first round, but being the first time I've played in a draft thing here, and not seeing the pitfalls I went for a spinner. crying into my bourbon aws

Perhaps as a suggestion for next time & without giving it much thought the 2 taboos could be what you last picked, and what the person in front of your picked (rather than previous two) - a little less dependent on luck of the draw.

 

[morgieb]

Yeah this format is regrettably too reliant on luck.

I think a good idea for next time is to introduce 2 batting categories, therefore not having really poorly balanced sides.

 

[kingkallis]

So Zaremba, looks like its your turn if we are continuing...

 

[zaremba]

Anyways this is not such an important thing for which I'll fight and make enemies in this beautiful place (CW).

Likewise!

Anyhow, to compromise, why don't we stick with the taboo plan for Round 11 and then have a free pick in Round 12?

On that basis,

Matthew Wade (keeper)

+1

Openers and Mid Order bats.
Also relax the restraints on all rounders to about 1.5 wpm and include the Don.

Just my two cents worth.

+1

Openers and Mid Order bats.
Also relax the restraints on all rounders to about 1.5 wpm and include the Don.

Just my two cents worth.

The other thing we need is a new penalty to missing your turn.

I'd suggest this

A
B
C
D
E

If C misses D can play as normal but C has 3 taboos (A B D) if D plays before him, similarly for E. If you can't pick you lose it. Taboos are always the most recent picks (inc late ones).

I'd also suggest that a smaller number of players would help.

 

[kingkallis]

Ok so I will pick an all rounder, pacer or a spinner. Right?
