Test draft - players can only be picked from 3 nominated countries and decades

[mr_mister]

So, a few years ago I did a couple of drafts that were pretty well received, one where all your players had to be picked from only 2 debut decades of your choice(eg Bradman would be the '20s if he was allowed, which he won't be for this draft) and a separate one where all players had to be picked from 2 countries of your choice.

Your first pick would decide the 1st country/decade that you were using, and then you could save up revealing your 2nd pick in either round 2 or round 9 if you wished(in other words, whenever you wanted). There was no limit to how many drafters latched onto a decade or country, so we had a lot of people digging into Australia's players for countries and the 1990s for the decades - the 1900s and Sri Lanka for example had far less people deciding to dip into them.


I want to combine the two ideas - where your whole XI can only be made up of players from 3 decades and 3 countries. I'm not sure if limiting it to 3 would make things too difficult, so am considering bumping it to 4 if enough people wish. That might make things too easy though, and I know I'd rather a draft be too hard rather than too easy, so am leaning toward 3.


Looking for 12-14 drafters, the more the merrier!

Funky idea for a draft, XIs will only be made of players from 2 chosen decades

Okay so your XI can only be made of players who made their test debut from 2 separate decades. Be it 30s and 70s. 40s and 00s. 2010s and 1890s, its up to you. Multiple people can use the same decade for their team. you also don't have to state which 2 decades you'll be using until you choose a...

Draft - XIs will be made up of players from 2 chosen countries

So first of all I'd like to apologise for being lazy with drafts in the past recently, things came up in my life and I neglected them. I'm doing better now and will promise to keep on top of updates with this one. Last year I did a draft where users made their teams up of players from 2 chosen...

Does this mean the three decade+country combo will look like one can eg only pick from 2000s Australia or Australia and the 00s to go with 2 more such combos?

I was assuming you'd have 3 decades and 3 countries to combine however you like in 9 possible combinations.

That would make sense.

I think I follow the rules. Decade refers to decade of debut, not a decade in which a player played. Yes?
