IPL Auction Draft

[JOJOXI]

Hello

Came across this mock IPL auction simulator that is run in real time.

Crikky IPL Mock Auction

This draft will feature IPL players past and present - closer to the time I'll set up another auction as a test so I can make a list of the order of players and post it in here.

As long as you are signed in the website saves your 'progress' so there is also the option of splitting this draft into multiple sittings if needs be as with it being an in-real time commitment and juggling multiple timezones it may well need multiple sittings to complete the auction.

Once all teams are completed, I will ask teams to nominate their first choice XI as well as their 'impact player' and list their reserves.

I will set up a voting thread asking for teams to vote on the overall squad - it is up to voters how important bench depth is to them.


People to have signed up so far

JOJOXI as RCB
honestbharani as CSK
Himannv as MI
Thala_0710 as RR
Bitmap as KKR


That leaves 5 teams left - DC, GT, LSG, Punjab and lastly SRH. In the case of SRH - if you go to the squads part of the website there should be an option to join as team - there is on my end (when going incognito so browser treats me as not yet having a team but in the case no one can join as SRH we can still run the draft as 9 players.

will also start asking about your timezones and general days/times of best availability - just to potentially formulate a first draft of a schedule.

Generally between AEDT 8:30pm and 1:00am is the ideal time. Later the better in general. Earlier might be possible as well but it will depend on the day.

@capt_Luffy will you be picking the auction in your main username or from the multi you ve created as Sayon Basak?

 

[Himannv]

@capt_Luffy are you locked up in a basement somewhere forced to watch reruns of the 4 games Bangladesh have won?

 

[JOJOXI]

@CricAddict reactivated SRH as had to deactivate it as a drafter lost access to that team so if you can confirm whenever you have the time that its still okay on your end now I've re-activated team

The draft won't run before 7th but what sort of timings in terms of IST post 7th December.

It will be an auction of IPL 'legends' (past and present players) - so during auction you'll bid for players and form your own team.

LSG, DC, and GT need franchise owners.

@Red_Ink_Squid

@JOJOXI me(LSG) and @capt_Luffy(Punjab) are in.

I already picked LSG.

 

[Himannv]

@JOJOXI is there a way to see the pool? My team needs to match the options available with the team strategy. Have to convince Mahela to not pick up all the Sri Lankans, himself included.

 

[Himannv]

@sayon basak are you sure? I see LSG as an unassigned team. Can you try with a different multi?
