Chain Draft

[Himannv]

weldone -> TBP -> New order.

It does get a bit confusing when people miss their turn, but I think the right call was made there.

[The Battlers Prince]

is well done playing?

 

[mr_mister]

youd think hed continue playing after nabbing Bradman lol

he's timed out tho so you can make your pick

 

[The Battlers Prince]

That’s ridiculous, he’s skips his first turn and gets a player that he thinks he’ll get from anybody I now have to choose, I got screwed over earlier round when I should have had Sobers. Now I miss a chance at the SA players, good chance I could have had that. I find this draft less fun than it could have been.
I’ll pick soon

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Eric Atkinson

 

[weldone]

God there's no list....figuring out this draft is a nightmare

So, I select someone who played with Kanhai but not with Laker?

 

[weldone]

Alan Knott

 

[trundler]

Weldone has another pick or is it my pick?

 

[weldone]

What's my picking criteria now? I am utterly confused.

 

[trundler]

It went you (Knott )TBP (Atkinson) - you so with Atkinson but not Knott.

 

[weldone]

Need an ATG batsman to head my batting lineup and Weekes opens up many possibilities. Ended up choosing Harvey, for which the drafters ahead of me should also be thankful.

Weldone's second pick should be with Atkinson but not Kanhai IMHO

 

[The Battlers Prince]

No Weldone has to pick from Atkinson but not played with Kanhai

He missed his turn and can’t then pick from someone he chose

 

[Jarquis]

Well, he could have if he'd picked in time in the first place.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

If he’s allowed to pick bases off of Knott then so am I, it’s only fair. It undermines my selection

 

[Jarquis]

You're not getting it.

He isn't allowed to pick from Knott as he missed his turn and so Knott isn't part of the chain.

However, if he had picked when he was originally meant to then he would then have been able to pick from 'somebody he chose'

 

[mr_mister]

So what now? It's my turn but there's a bunch of illegitimate picks that have been made
