One-from-each-era draft 2014

[Red]

Is there still a spot?

 

[kyear2]

If not you can take mine.

May be too busy next week.

 

[NUFAN]

I haven't actually taken part in a draft for a while, so yeah if there is a spot, count me in bagapath.

 

[bagapath]

Both monk and Nufan in. Kyer stays too.

I will start this on Tuesday.

 

[NUFAN]

I will start this on Tuesday.

Hey Bagapath, can you tell me...

 

[Camo999]

I was thinking the other way, to go era by era..... defining each round. Wonder what the others think.

Up to you Bagapath but I quite like Watson's suggestion. Even if you are towards the bottom of the draft order you then still have the option of a wide choice from any era rather than having to take the 10th or 12th best player from a particular era.

Yep.

It would involved a lot of "strategy" and not just picking the best players of that era in an order.

 

[AldoRaine18]

We should allow everyone to choose whichever era they wanna pick from as long as they have one from each. More fun that way.

 

[ohnoitsyou]

Agree with all the sentiment, stats draft turned into a bore for me because it was a glorified rank the players exercise, drafting is more than that, especially for a decade draft, which this essentially is imo.

 

[bagapath]

okay guys... am cool with it... very keen to see how each of you plan your picks this way...

 

[bagapath]

Hey Bagapath, can you tell me...

hahahahaha... honestly... it will be great if someone can run the draft because i am in the middle of a shoot this week and the next... now that the concept and the methodology are in place it is okay if someone does the weightlifting from here on... i will be following it keenly and enjoying it rather than delaying this whole process in the middle of my slightly hectic schedule...

if any of you can put your hand up, then start right away

 

[Red]

Get one of the mods to randomise a list and away we go...

 

[weldone]

Wait, the Bradman+Ishant rule and the era rule combined might mean undue advantage to person 1 in round 1.

He'll pick Bradman in round 1...and players from different eras in round 2-10 and get Ishant round 11...way too much advantage that way

Shouldn't we make it something like (Bradman+Doda Ganesh) or something?

 

[weldone]

unless he has to skip round 2 (and get Ishant in round2)

That might be a nice rule IMO. What say guys?

Yep. I agree with this.

 

[NUFAN]

Only issue with that is if Bradman gets passed in round 1. It should be hradman allowed in tje first 10 rounds and ishant is automatically selected in the round following the don.

 

[Red]

Haha. Imagine if Ishant is reading this

Hi Ishant

Yes, let us consider this as the final rule.

Cool. I'll do it.

But, I need someone neutral to draw the order and then we can go.

 

[Red]

Ask PEWs if he'l do it.
