I vote that we start sooner , We can have a cease fire/delayed timeout for the 15th,16th and 19th however if you work in first round 12 hour timeouts I don't see it being an issue as the game will only last max 8 hours . If we then get drafters not drafting that day its fine as they will not ensure penalty and draft will just be delayed ?

@ankitj I had called nominations closed but I guess we can squeeze you in. Larger numbers means it gets interesting towards the pointy end of the draft.

@Krypto Good suggestion but, having stated we would start after the ODI WC Final, I think I should stick to that in case other participants were waiting until then. Less than a week to go, so we'll start soon.

I have completed the randomised draw for Round 1 (Round 2 will be the reverse of 1).

We will start immediately after the conclusion of the ODI WC Final with 12 hour time limits for the first round. Subsequent rounds will have an 8 hour time limit.
When nominating a selection please add the era.

Sorry, we are already over the intended maximum participants.

 

[ataraxia]

Surely we can accommodate one more. 17 is doable with 8-hour timeouts (that could be knocked down to 7). The more the merrier.

No hard feelings mate; would had been great if I could join but it's alright

 

[Himannv]

Don't think one more makes much a difference. But anyway, I can sit out if it means someone else can join.

No no, please; no need for that! Thanks for offering though

@capt_Luffy OK Two senior drafters have spoken in support so I'll include you as the 17th participant. You will come in at the end of the 1st Round draw (and have first pick in the 2nd Round). Welcome aboard.
