[Krypto]

himannv binned both walcott and weekes and he got worrell lol

That is insane and awesome at the same time .

 

[Himannv]

Not complaining, but how did trundler end up with Walcott if so?

 

[Krypto]

As far as i understood it your bin list is to block players for yourself , so for example you blocked Walcott , so if the random generator decided to give you Walcott your bin list would block it and it will move to the next drafter and so on and so forth .

My Bin list for reference was some of the worst I could think off .

Edit: I might be wrong however that is how i understood it , would've made different choices if it was to block for entire group .

I am not sure how this exactly works, but there are quite a few of my requested binned players assigned to others too. Probably, block III revives the binned players too.

Wow, if this is the rule, it totally changes the draft. I was thinking the bin list bins the players for everyone, not just ourselves. Everyone would just give the list of worst 20 players if it is a bin for themselves alone.

Are players not binned for everyone for round VI onwards, and it's just for round III that you could "un-bin" players?

I might have misunderstood it then completely , probably then due to it being revived in the 4 pick so theoretically Himannv could have gotten Walcott.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Block III revives the binned player by anyone and assigned to others (if he didnt bin it)

Yeah unbin worked upto block III

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Its because someone revived Walcott in block III and trundler didnt have walcott in his bin list. So if you had Worrell in your bin list then you would have been blocked from getting worrell

 

[CricAddict]

I am just now getting a hang of the rule. Would have selected different lists for rounds 2 and 3 if understood earlier, but completely my bad.

Ahh so I didn't misunderstand it completely, I didn't want to block any potential good players in the random pick for myself even if it gave some strategic advantage going forward.
