Draft/Trading Rules

Blewy

Cricketer Of The Year
Ok guys here is the rundown on the Trading/Draft...

1st up is the Trade period...
It opens this Thurdsday at Midnight, It will remain open for a few weeks..
Trades can be made between any team, but there are a few basic rules and exceptions...
* Trades must be of equal value (ie 1 for 1, 2 for 2 etc.)
* Rookies which were handed out at the beginning of the season are not able to be traded, whereas rookies handed out as replacements for retiring players can be...
* Trades are not completely accepted to both teams managers have confirmed the trades in the appropriate thread, If a manager pulls out after giving their word its bad luck...
* If the trade deadline is closed before your trade is confirmed it will not be accepted...

The next step is the player cull, which is conducted after the last round of games...
What takes place here is teams cull their 16 man squads down to 10, now the catch here is that you also have the option of including your original rookies...
So you have a few options:
* Keep 10 squad players and 0 Rookies (u will have 6 Draft Picks)
* Keep 8 squad players and 2 Rookies (u will have 6 Draft Picks)
* Keep 9 squad players and 1 Rookies (u will have 6 Draft Picks)
* Keep 10 squad players and 1 Rookies (u will have 5 Draft Picks)
* Keep 10 squad players and 2 Rookies (u will have 4 Draft Picks)
* Keep 9 squad players and 2 Rookies (u will have 5 Draft Picks)

(If you drop Draft picks you will release your 3rd round pick first and then your 4th round pick)
Now the rookies you got for retiring players will be counted as squad players...

What happens now is once you have selected which players you are retaining all the released players will go into the draft pool with the left over academy players...

From there the draft will commence... Teams are allocated points for where they finish in each competition the team with the most points picks 1st, and so on until each team has picked 1 player for the round, then it starts again until all 6 rounds are completed... This will again give all teams 16 players...

After all is done teams have a 1-2 week period to conduct trades before the new season commences...

I think this about covers it...
If you guys have any questions just ask....

Unfortunatley mate you guys will lose players to the top sides, however next season you will get a whole new influx of rookies, and players left out from the draft, hopefully though, by then you guys will get into the main stream, the academy was really only designed to keep you guys interested and give you a bit of experience on WCC until you get a full time spot...

Looks fine to me.

Would someone be able to post the rookies lists cos its no longer on the forums. Im after the 2 sets of rookies, the ones that went to the academy, not the replacement rookies. Thanks.
