Draft Game - Fantasy Cricket 2023

[CricAddict]

McMullen is properly gun.

Yes, someone who bats at 3, bats long and also gets wickets is gold. The moment I got him, knew he will give me those points. Unfortunate that they don't have any matches anymore though. So, will have to release him in the next mini.

Thanks for the score up date.
In the first quarter I had the tragic Pant accident and in this one Lyon going down was a set-back. Even so, without those facors I wouldn't be near the leading pair.

Still young too. He's a serious talent - not just for Scotland, for anyone - worthy of playing a lot of international cricket.

Can we have a fantasy draft specific to the world cup? Since there are only 10 teams, we can restrict to only 10 drafters.

We can. Hopefully someone else would be interested in running it though.

 

[CricAddict]

I will run it. I would like to run it as a secret auction draft so that people do not miss out their preferred players due to luck of the draw.

The draft will have a maximum of 10 participants since there are only 10 teams in the ODI WC. Everyone will have $10Mn at the start of the draft. I will put up 10 players per day and everyone can send me their bids for the 10 players or less privately through pm. Unpicked players will automatically be moved to the next round. So, the draft will run for ~11-15 days after all the squads are announced.

I hope this will not be too challenging to the participants. You will need to login to cw once per day during the draft to send me your bids. Please let me know if you are in. Checking here first before posting in the general thread. Obviously, I will not be able to participate in this.

for the record, what are the dates of the WC?

The WC is from Oct 5 to Nov 19.

 

[Teuton]

yeah good, so plenty of time.

Any idea when squads announced?

Got this from Google. So, we will have ample time of 1 month to run the draft before the world cup starts.

"According to media reports, all participating nations must finalize and submit their respective squads for the marquee event before August 29."

Saw the new thread for sign ups. Looks good.

I think you are on top of the spreadsheet but let me know if you need any assistance.

Sure, thanks Teuton. Yes, I am ok with running the current version like the one done for the women's world cup but will definitely contact you for any help in case of new challenges/errors.

@Teuton when is the mini-draft for Q4 starting? And when can we start releasing players?

 

[Teuton]

I normally call for cutting players halfway through the month.
The minidraft will begin approx 1 week before the end of September.
