Auction draft 2011

I have an idea for a draft. It's based on the Scorecard draft, but differs slightly in that every player starts off from a scorecard entirely of their choosing from any point in history, and you then carry on picking players from your last scorecard every round instead of going from the scorecard of the person who picked before you.
It could lead to interesting tactics like people choosing to start off from an obscure era just to have a good pick of all the players from that era without others also nicking those players. If many participants start off at the same era (say the 90-00's), it'll only dilute the player pool available to them. Since it'll be more of a competition with ones-self rather than exclusively with other participants, I call it the 'Playing with yourself' draft.

Trust you to come up with something like that.Sounds like it might be challenging. I'm in if you start it up.

I'll do it if there's enough interest. Howe-zat's already got one up and running.

Yeah, start after Howe's draft gets over, I'd suggest - and count me in.

You could always just use Micheal7x7's list I think its more or less accurate.
Yeah that would probably be easiest, mine has one change which I posted earlier but will put it up again to save you going back.

Have been preparing the teams for the sim, but so far have only got half the teams entered, so it should probably start this weekend

I think you could use PEWS' standardised averages (the latest one) - otherwise Himanv's opening bowlers will have bowling averages of 10 and 16 respectively...
