Not that I'm complaining, but why am I 2nd last in R1, but first in R2?

 

[Jarquis]

So that Cabinet doesn't gain the advantage of picking from only his own previous scorecard

 

[G.I.Joe]

a spambot added to draft list.

 

[G.I.Joe]

12 hours up. Himmanv can make his pick now.

 

[kingkallis]

Sam, come on! Make a pick...start the gameee!

 

[Himannv]

I'll take Sobers. Hold on while I find a scorecard.

 

[Himannv]

Garry Sobers

2nd Test: West Indies v Australia at Port of Spain, Apr 11-16, 1955 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo

 

[Howe_zat]

Am I correct in saying that everyone on the scorecard you post is ineligible for your next pick?

 

[Himannv]

Am I correct in saying that everyone on the scorecard you post is ineligible for your next pick?

I seem to have not thought this through.

 

[kingkallis]

Am I correct in saying that everyone on the scorecard you post is ineligible for your next pick?

Is that the new rule?

Cause as per the old Scorecard Draft rules, the next person can not pick player who appeared in the same game.

Yeah, but we're doing it differently this year:

For those already familiar with the scorecard draft format, it should be noted that this edition won't be exactly the same format.

It'll be different in that each participant picks his next player from his own last scorecard, rather than the scorecard of the participant who picked before him. In essence, you'll be playing with yourself, rather than exclusively against others as usual.

 

[G.I.Joe]

Yeah, the next pick in R2, Himmanv can't select anyone from the scorecard he's posted now, in addition to the usual rule of not being able to pick anyone from the scorecard posted by the person before him (i.e, the R2 scorecard by Spikey). Basically, there are now two scorecards you can't pick players from, instead of just one. You've got to balance the idea of shafting the next person with your scorecard with the chances of shafting yourself next round with the same scorecard.

Spikey and Eds both up.

 

[Himannv]

Fancy shafting myself there. Oh well, I'll just have to find other good players to pick.

HowSTAT! Match Scorecard

changed my pick. hope i did it before anyone noticed

 

[G.I.Joe]

Nothing to see here, folks.

 

[Eds]

I know who I want to pick but what am I basing the selection of scorecard on?

 

[Spikey]

I'm perfectly fine to start over again given Eds is online. Whether Himannv is...

 

[G.I.Joe]

kingkallis and Eds both up.

 

[Spikey]

Everything is a mess!


GI Joe has to show examples imo

 

[G.I.Joe]

Nothing. You were first in the draft order, so you get to pick any player that hasn't been picked so far.
