Test Cricket Draft

Would make the pick time 12 hours at least.

Are we going to stick to this order for the rest of the tourney? Or change after every reverse of rounds?

Like I said in the OP, it will go from 1-12 for the first round, then 12-1 for the second round, then again 1-12 and so on.

Whenever I have done that in earlier drafts, it becomes really really slow. But then if it had to be done, it has to be done.

Maybe we can start with 9 hours and see how it goes?

Then it's going to be a huge problem (if the order remains the same) for the guys caught up in the middle esp more in 12 players format although I've no problem if others agree

 

[Jarquis]

I think its reasonable for people to be able to check on once in a 12 hour period to either pick or leave their pick with someone. Anything less is too short imho.

Trust me man, every time a draft starts this thing gets dicussed and it always comes back to this. In short : the guy who picks first has to wait for two rounds for his next pick, so it evens up. The guy who picks last gets two picks back to back after having to wait a whole round and possibly losing the top picks, so it again evens out. And the guy in the middle has the least amount of picks between two picks. So it is the fairest way IMO.

Alright we will start with 12 hours.

I recommend random for 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th and 11th

Reverse ones would be 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th and 12th

It's an interesting idea. Will have to think about it. What do others think about it?

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

definitely random with Nufan fix; Jager can sort it out I think

 

[AldoRaine18]

One last thing, please don't forget to PM the next guy in order after you pick your player. Thanks.

 

[kingkallis]

Oh come on, its just 12 hours. Relax dude dont have to PM anyone on CW, this is our virtual home...

I honestly don't feel randomizing the order every odd round helps much. If anything, it results in more imbalance than it would if the current system is followed.

In the current system, the only one who really benefits is the person who is drawn first in round one as he gets the double pick each round in addition to first pick.

Would be fun to do a pre-WWII draft

Nothing wrong with selecting your side based on your own criteria

This is the first time I am playing a draft in this forum but I have organized similar drafts a lot of times before in other forums.

 

[uvelocity]

fair enough
