The Building Blocks Draft

[CricAddict]

Same here.

Same for me too. In. Will just play for fun not caring about results.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Sounds really interesting but don't think I have the time to do it properly. Will follow with interest.

 

[JOJOXI]

In please. A very interesting idea, although I'll probably need to re-read the OP with fresh eyes to fully understand although I get the jist of it I think.

 

[Teuton]

That would give you an unfair advantage

The other draft came to end (almost). Think we can start first round.

Block I

Nominate 1 player by PM to me that you want above all. If two managers nominate same player then that player becomes ineligible for the rest of the draft.

1. @kingkallis
2. @weeman27bob
3. @Bitmap
4. @trundler
5. @Krypto
6. @Himannv
7. @Line and Length
8. @ataraxia
9. @Teuton
10. @Pothas
11. @ankitj
12. @CricAddict
13. @JOJOXI
14. @smash84
15. @Patience and Accuracy+Gut

Since we are just starting and notifications required, I think 48 hours period is fair enough.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Sorry AZH, something important has come up that will take a lot of my time in next couple of weeks. I will have to withdraw.

Block II and III

Block II

In this block, please nominate 20 players that will go to the bin.

Block III

In this block, please nominate 4 players that will go into a pool.

PM both Block II and III. 48 hours is fair enough I’d guess.

 

[JOJOXI]

@AndyZaltzHair for Block III is there a draft order once that pool is decided or are players given out at random?

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

@AndyZaltzHair for Block III is there a draft order once that pool is decided or are players given out at random?

From Block III, players will be distributed by random number generator (4 each) then we will have draft order of 6 rounds to resurrect your team.

dammit @Line and Length – so close!

 

[JOJOXI]

dammit @Line and Length – so close!

Was surprised only 2 went for Bradman but relieved that no one got him at least!

 

[ankitj]

From Block III, players will be distributed by random number generator (4 each) then we will have draft order of 6 rounds to resurrect your team.

Obviously many drafters would nominate same players in block III. What happens then?
