The draft

[The Argonaut]

Just a question about the draft and it may have been answered already. I assume that we all get a list of the available players in the lead up. Who is on the list? As I manage a county side does that mean I am restricted to one import and thus can only pick English players or can I pick 6 new imports to boost the squad. If it is restricted then do I only have access to one of the particular academy sides.

there are no restrictions on players after the 1st season so u could keep your 10 players and then sign up 6 international stars...

hope that helps....

How will it be run in terms of picking order and how we actually pick?

Hey Marc, check this thread out Marc it was suggested by Paid and as far as I know it will be the way that the draft will be done

I think the order there looks good, but what I'd like to know is how we actually pick - is it submit a list of players we want in order for a round, run the draft, tell everyone who's gone and repeat process or is it one at a time picking?

 

[Blewy]

The draft will be run over 2-3 weeks in which u will submit a list of players in order of preference to me and i will run the draft...

And then hopefully following the draft, there will be an opportunity to do trades?

 

[Blewy]

That option will be looked into in the next couple of weeks Graham....

 

[Paid The Umpire]

Does anyone want the number one draft pick?

Then then have to give me a good bowler.

 

[Graham]

I'd happily give up who you consider to be the best Lancashire bowler in order to have first draft pick!
I don't believe though that trading for draft picks should be allowed.

 

[Paid The Umpire]

Why should it not be allowed?

Isn't it my perrogitive to choose?

 

[Umpire Money]

Ive got some good bowlers

U should be able to trade your draft picks
If they are yours u should be able to use them

 

[Graham]

As long as it doesn't complicate things too much I suppose there's nothing wrong with it.
