ATG 'Mixed Experience' Test XI - Draft

[bagapath]

Fellas - Given the consensus seems to be for a 12th round to allow for an even number of order reversals, let's open it up with round 12 to be players from the <25 test range. (we may even want to limit it to the 20-25 test range so it's not so crucial).

And to make it interesting, you can select your final XI from all 12 players in your squad as opposed to the player you choose in round 12 automatically becoming your twelfth-man.

Anyone object to this? Suggestions for the final test number range welcome.

of course, the 12th round selection is eligible for the playing 11. no question about it

test range should be 10 to 25

 

[mr_mister]

yes id love it open as possible regardin who we make 12th man. as for limiting to 20-25 players i dunno, ill let someone else field that. personally the poor person who has to pick last in round 11 deserves a chance at barry richards or someone like that

 

[Zinzan]

of course, the 12th round selection is eligible for the playing 11. no question about it

Just clarifying

test range should be 10 to 25

I'll check the data and confirm the range based on a similar distribution pattern as I've used so far. i.e, Allowing a higher number of players to choose from as test experience drops off. Will confirm shortly.

 

[Agent TBY]

Yes to <25, yes to final XI flexibility.

But I don't see the point in limiting the range. I actually never understood why a "mixed experience" draft was omitting an entire bracket of players. Besides, there are so many great players in just the 20-24 range that I doubt it'd make much of a difference.

 

[Zinzan]

Cool Round 12 to be the 21-24 Test range (111 players to pick from).

[Zinzan]

mr_mister, then Coronis

 

[Agent TBY]

He picked Kanhai already. Coronis is up.

 

[mr_mister]

lol im happy enough with that

 

[kingkallis]

12th round will be of NO real use if you limit it. First few participants gets benefitted but the rest won't be able to utilize it.

Make it a FREE round so participants with missing links can complete their teams.

 

[Zinzan]

If most would prefer the 12th round to be open to <25 tests, we'll go with it.

Whatever the consensus is.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

I haven't seen the player names but if 111 people are available it seems reasonable to me to go 21-24.

 

[mr_mister]

and thats coming from the guy picking second last! maybe extend it to 18-24? a happy medium?

[bagapath]

If most would prefer the 12th round to be open to <25 tests, we'll go with it.

Whatever the consensus is.

I have never selected players like barry richards, procter and merchant. this will be a good opportunity to let people like me select players without statistical limits. open it up for all players < 25 tests

 

[Agent TBY]

Yeah, <25 for me too.

Anyway, Coronis's pick doesn't affect mine and mine doesn't affect his, so I'm going to go ahead and pick Sir Garfield Sobers.

 

[Zinzan]

Pretty strong consensus, so <25 it is for the 12th round.
