Diminishing Draft

[CricAddict]

Or else everyone maintains a wickets and a runs list in parallel and can switch back and forth?

Yes. That's the idea. You can switch back and forth between picking batsmen/bowlers based on how the draft and a going.

You have to pick batsman/bowler lesser than your previous pick only. You don't have to worry about the runs/wickets of other drafter players.

 

[CricAddict]

Would need to establish some sort of equivalence between runs and wickets.

I am not getting it. What do you mean by establishing equivalence?

 

[trundler]

X amount of runs = 1 wicket. That way we could keep a tally in terms of either runs or wickets to see what everyone's upper limit is.

 

[JOJOXI]

In please

This seems unnecessary. Each participant keeps two separate lists - their 7 batsmen and 4 bowlers. Each list diminishes independently of the other.

 

[shortpitched713]

In, if still able to enter.

 

[kingkallis]

In!

 

[AndrewB]

I would say in but it already feels like you have more than enough players.

 

[Line and Length]

By my estimation we have 16 interested starters. Why not conduct 2 drafts with 8 participants in each (Diminishing Draft I and Diminishing Draft II)? The leading (1 or 2) teams, as voted as per usual, could then go into a Diminishing Draft Final Vote. By having 16 in a draft it can often take a long time between selections.

One big draft is fine IMO, fwiw

 

[Teuton]

With a full player pool, the draft can easily accommodate that many.

Yeah, it can't be so hard. Let's start @CricAddict ?

I'll start it tomorrow morning. Today is a holiday here and so not getting anywhere near to my laptop today.

What? You have a life?

 

[CricAddict]

[Patience and Accuracy+Gut]

Sure. Will add you to the list and freeze it. We will start Round 1 tomorrow with the 16 players.

6 hour time-out but please try to pick as early as possible so that others don't wait for too long.

 

[Line and Length]

I did say "By my estimation". I was one out.

 

[CricAddict]

16 participants. Let us get the ball rolling. It will be 6 hour time-outs starting this minute. Personally, requesting all to have 2-3 picks in mind before your round and pick as early as possible. Below is Round 1 order
