Another "bid for position" draft

[ataraxia]

Once everyone sends their bids to AndrewB for openers it effectively becomes a somewhat regular draft if not mistaken - just the bids will set the draft order for openers round and so on when we get to middle order etc.

Just to confirm @AndrewB will structure of rounds be as Magrat Garlick suggested or as outlines in your opening post?

Ah, I confused this with one of your drafts. Very fun concept this.

That’s correct; and we’ll go with Magrat’s suggestion, with the caveat that in your final XI, you must have the 2 players you pick in round 1 as openers, and the 4 you pick in round 2 batting 3 to 6 (in some order).

@trundler @ataraxia @Line and Length - first 3 to pick

 

[Line and Length]

What time restraints are there on bids and are there 3 players up together as indicated by kingkallis?

NO! One by one for sure. I just sent the alert to Top 3 to be ready with their picks.

 

[honestbharani]

@AndrewB - u got my bids in the wrong order. I bid 999 for 1 and 99001 for 2nd position.

 

[Line and Length]

NO! One by one for sure. I just sent the alert to Top 3 to be ready with their picks.

I thought as much. Still need to know time restraints. Thanks for the alert.

 

[trundler]

[weeman27bob]

[trundler]

In retrospect I may have done a boo boo
