Debut Chronology Draft - Tests

@AndrewB @Himmanv @JOJOXI @Line and Length @Magrat Garlick @mr_mister @Red Hill @StephenZA @weldone

No pressure


Senor is correct.

Oh and round 1 will be a free-for-all. I'll post a google calendar event for it. Will set it to an hour that's reasonably accessible for everyone. 9 PM in Auckland would be 9 AM in London, 10 AM in SA, 1 over here and 1:30 in India. Works for everyone methinks.

Mr_mister uses an online timer kind of thing. That will work better.

If it helps I'll be the in the middle of a physics class.

Ah, so nap time for both of you then.

Himmanv said he's scaling back his forum usage and not signing up for new drafts.

 

[mr_mister]

In

 

[ataraxia]

In if there's room. (9pm doesn't suit me but I don't mind getting an underrated player in R1)

 

[trundler]

Well, would you look at that? We've hit 16 already. Just a couple more and we're in for an epic ride.

 

[honestbharani]

pffttt, its no Mahabharatha maf.

 

[ankitj]

16 is plenty!

 

[ataraxia]

How do you determine next pick order in case of a tie in debut date?

need answer to this @trundler.

 

[trundler]

I'll default to precedent. Whoever had to wait the longest between picks gets to go first. 6 hour time outs and only 1 person at a time.

I had done it differently in ODI version of this draft. Whoever gets to the same debut date later gets to pick before. More equitable IMO because it reverses relative order of picks in case of tie for previous picks. Just a suggestion, I am fine either ways.

 

[mr_mister]

I'm assuming no Bradman? I feel like it'd be fair to include if he debuted in 1950s for example but a 1928 debut is so early there's basically zero incentive to not pick him first

 

[Fuller Pilch]

It is 9pm NZT

 

[Pothas]

This has started then?

Jack Hobbs (01-01-1908)

 

[Pothas]

Usually there is just a big penalty for it.

It is more likely that this has not actually started.

 

[srbhkshk]

Yeah, please disallow Bradman or change his debut to something like 2008.

 

[srbhkshk]

I pick absolutely nothing by the orders of lord trundler.

 

[weeman27bob]

I don't think someone other than tundler can just decide the draft has started...

 

[honestbharani]

He did leave the time and details to be fair.

 

[weeman27bob]

He did leave the time and details to be fair.

He said what time it would start, but not what day.
