Generation Draft

[ankitj]

In if there's space.

 

[ankitj]

Also, it would be more fun if we do not specify eras for each round and let the participants work out the balance on their own.

 

[Howe_zat]

I'd rather not do it that way, because then it'd be just like any other draft until the final few rounds.

 

[Blakus]

Still space for one more?

 

[Howe_zat]

Yep. That's enough though, or the standard starts to drop. So I'm capping it at 16.

 

[Howe_zat]

Does anyone think we should ban Bradman, as is often done? I'm undecided so would go with a majority opinion.

 

[Noble One]

I don't see any reason why Bradman should be left out.

 

[Blakus]

i don't like having Bradman in drafts where there isn't some sort of penalty or extra challenge balancing him out. He's just so much better than the rest, that whoever is lucky enough to get him has too much of an advantage over everyone else.

 

[smash84]

yeah keep Bradman out

 

[Himannv]

Ban Bradman!!

 

[marc71178]

[Himannv]

Quite hyped about this. Fabulous idea Jake.

 

[Furball]

Bradman is now ineligible.

Will post the first order soon.

If you wanna make it more fun then ban all the generation players.

 

[Himannv]

If you wanna make it more fun then ban all the generation players.

Thats actually a pretty good idea.

 

[marc71178]

Yes, GF has had a good one there - assuming he means the SJS ones?

 

[Howe_zat]

If you wanna make it more fun then ban all the generation players.

Gonna say no. Bradman is banned because he's the only one to be basically an auto-win for whoever gets him, and there'd be no strategy to getting him. I want to include as many players as possible, because this is a draft about cricketing history.

 

[fredfertang]

Your call Jake, obviously, though I have to say that I do agree that our kilted friend came up with a good idea there.
