Sheep Draft Version 2.0

[Matt79]

two Questions - we're selecting a cricketer to match each question, not just one who
meets both?

If you fail completely and the next person picks one for you, can they select whatever dud they like, or does their selection also have to meet the criteria?

Yeah, so you pick 1 to match question 1, and 1 to match question 2

If you fail completely and the next person picks one for you, can they select whatever dud they like, or does their selection also have to meet the criteria?

Has to meet the criteria (at least that's what it was last year)

Not sure how many will meet the criteria after 20 people have failed though...

 

[NUFAN]

It's three strikes and you are out though. So you have another hour to select a player, if he's already been chosen, you get another 24 hours to select someone, if your second choice has been chosen by someone else also you get one final opportunity. If you fail again the next person online selects your player for you.

I thought G.I.Joe's scent was pretty clever but you've managed to outdo it.

We've got 16 people in this which is way more than I expected, results coming up very shortly.

So we get to have three attempts before losing our pick to whatever someone else gives us?

 

[NUFAN]

Yes exactly right. 3 attempts per question.

You have 24 hours to make your reselections, metallics has done brilliantly getting both of his choices

 

[Jarquis]

Blast you Pup Clarke!

 

[Blakus]

I was hoping that no-one else would pick Hammond. Wishful thinking it seems.

Not to worried though as my first pick is fantastic.

 

[bryce]

Disastrous

 

[NUFAN]

Oh well bryce, you were not the only one. This is seriously tough at the moment with 15 other people choosing someone it isn't easy at all, especially at the start when you might not be looking for a specific type of player, just wanting someone decent.

I'm going to have to change some of my planned questions, I need more cricketers that actually fit into the categories.

 

[Matt79]

So are the players "banned" banned for good, or just for this round?

 

[Matt79]

Second attempts Fiddy-Sent

 

[NUFAN]

So are the players "banned" banned for good, or just for this round?

Banned for good at this stage. They may or may not be added later on in the draft.

 

[Michaelf7777777]

Rather stupid gamble on my part but I was happy to get the second one accepted.

Repick sent

Wasn't stupid at all. It very nearly came off, and would have given you (or me) an immense boost. Well worth the risk that everyone would decide that was too obvious IMO.

 

[Matt79]

dude, that's not how this game works. I've obviously now wasted my second attempt on the player you got for Q1, but you're better off not revealing who you got because now others still to make their second pick will know not to try for him.

 

[Matt79]

Wait til Nufan says to reveal before listing your players.

 

[Jarquis]

Got the impression we weren't supposed to name our picks until the whole of round 1 has been completed.
As people now know not to pick your players for 1b/2b.
