Tbh there's actually an argument to 'Bradman' Sobers out of this looking at most of the other players with 8. He's almost a cheat code here. @AndrewB to decide.

I think it's pretty fine; others can just skip 8 if they want... Afterall, we can't ban all the players.

Being in the first few a huge advantage here (he says because he is right towards the end.)

I have never been at the first of a draft in ages now.

Usually I am happy enough picking late as you get that early double pick. This one has a few really obvious ones at the top though.

i dont agree however drafting is for the most part a numbers game however with voting its also a popularity thing . So due to popularity i think some main targets will get hit sooner in this draft than others ive played due to the limitation .

That being said the numbers in this one makes it very difficult to create a balanced team and thus there is maybe 2 or 3 approaches to guarantee you'll be able to to this and create what resembles a top 11 as the end element of this draft promises to be incredibly difficult . So the first couple of picks will affect this a lot as many will have similar approaches and king makers .

Although i do think more experienced drafters will do very well having a later pick due to the fact of the numbers and i now need to wait 32 picks before my second so for me that's a disadvantage as i have a couple of targets that is vital and as per usual there is only 3 or 4 viable picks in those targets . I am happy to get what is probably a top pick but it also means in 32 picks some of those main targets can get depleted and i cannot counter and this is normally the case in most drafts .

Summary: Being the first pick is also equally bad since the second pick is after 32 picks only.

Yea , also added in summary same as going early has benefit so does going late . In more detail but yes

Regular picks get 8 hours, but since this is being launched unannounced, no time outs before 12 noon UTC on Jan 31st (i.e. no time outs in the first 16 hours or so of the draft, so hopefully everyone gets a chance to see it first).

Even rounds will (as usual) follow the reverse order of the previous round.

@draftmaster? Am I in?

Guys, I just discovered this thread. Can I play too?

I come with experience and all the necessary equipment.

I think the last few ones had some very good first picks and I wanted to be first in at least a few of those, I think.
