Test Cricket Draft

[Saint Kopite]

What's the R3/4 order?

I think it would be like a ladder, right?

1-10 then 10-1, then 1-10 and then 10-1 and so on...

 

[kingkallis]

Nope that wouldnt be fair...it should be random for 1,3,5,7,9,11 and reverse for 2,4,6,8,10,12

 

[Jager]

Agree with kk!

[Saint Kopite]

No need for random order again.

After Somerset makes his second pick, we can start with Himannv in Round 3.

Order for Round 3:-

Himannv -
AldoRaine18 -
Marcuss -
Agent TBY -
AndyZaltzHair -
Saint Kopite -
Jager -
kingkallis -
Michaelf7777777 -
Blakus -
Monk -
Somerset -

Round 4:-

Somerset -
Monk -
Blakus -
Michaelf7777777 -
kingkallis -
Jager -
Saint Kopite -
AndyZaltzHair -
Agent TBY -
Marcuss -
AldoRaine18 -
Himmanv -

In Round 5, AldoRaine18 will have the first pick with Himannv as last and Somerset second last.

 

[AldoRaine18]

That's not a bad idea either. Let's decide it before round 3 begins.

I am fine with both but the second one seems more systematic.

 

[Agent TBY]

Nah, random order on every odd round with it being reversed in the even rounds IMO.

 

[Jarquis]

Wasim Akram

 

[AldoRaine18]

Wasim Akram

He has been picked.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Wasim Akram

 

[kingkallis]

Nah, random order on every odd round with it being reversed in the even rounds IMO.

This works fine..so +1

 

[Saint Kopite]

Issue with random order is there would be guys who would never get to pick first in a round etc. We should have a methodical order.

 

[kingkallis]

Sir, this is probably 1882nd draft we are playing @ CW with these kind of random orders. If we want to change the way we set the orders, we have to plan it @ the beginning of the draft and not after the 2nd round.

Issue with random order is there would be guys who would never get to pick first in a round etc. We should have a methodical order.

Issue with your formula is I wait 23 selections between my second and third pick, and somebody else (let's take you as an example), only waits 13 selections between your 2nd and 3rd pick.

This is while the cream of the draft is being taken.

Randomised every odd numbered round and reversed from that every even round is probably the most fair way to do this, especially seeing there is such a small pool of players to choose from.

And maybe just let AldoRaine post the draw, it's confusing enough as it is in here without two different draft orders on the same page in round 3!


Aldo- could you post up the full, correct order (every round) we are following, and players already chosen?

Fair enough.

You don't win a test match by scoring 1000 runs. You win it by taking 20 wickets.

Kind of true!

You do it by batting first, making 500-600, then bowling them out twice for under 150 each time.
