Sheep Draft version 4.0

[kingkallis]

So we get 2 chances and if we fail to submit player, we get the player of your choice. We get the 2nd chance. Am I right?

Just gone through the results again, and a total of 8 'sheep' for the first is round is a shocker. I can understand there being a few problems with the 'Brother' question because the pool was relatively small, but not sure why there should have been so many clashes with the '6 Ducks' question.

On-the-other-hand, there is bound to be a paddock full of sheep due to the AEIOU question for good reason - there's only a fraction of reasonable cricketers available. I expect to take a hit here.

 

[NUFAN]

Just some clarification on question 4. When I say 'retired' before 1/1/2000 I mean did not play a Test after then. I hope that hasn't screwed up anyone.

You get 3 chances. If you FAIL each time, you receive a 'sheep' aka an ordinary player who meets the criteria. Before each round I work out what persons name is getting the first sheep, if they pass it goes to the name after him on my list. I then get a list of SHEEP, put them in an order and random generate who they are getting. I have a method to my madness

So the vowels question is the hardest yeah? I haven't actually looked how many available players fit the criteria, but figured there would be enough.

 

[watson]

Yeah, the 'Brother's' question is a piece of cake in comparison.

 

[NUFAN]

Fair enough, always good to have some challenging questions.

Just waiting on honest and spikey.

Ambitious.

Results to come in a minute. 6 of you will be feeling rather sheepish getting 0/3 while someone has managed to get a perfect 3/3!
