Major League Cricket: World Series

Also let me know if I have to add anymore missing players before we start the draft, in 24 HRs. It won't be fair to add them when the draft is in progress.

We know the order in the round 1 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16).

What's the order from round 2 to 16?

We just flip it like the other fantasy games.

Round 2: 16, 15, 14, 13, ...... 1
Round 3: 1, 2, 3..... 16
Round 4: 16, 15, 14...

I can see why it would get confusing in "manual" system. So I'll just make it clear on that thread.

I edited in a few things in my post. Please have a look and respond

If you do as I suggested about random draws in odd numbered rounds from 3-15 with the order flipped in the even numbered rounds 4-16, the system becomes infinitely more fair and will go a LONG way in mitigating some of the discontent so far. The website you used before, it'll take just a few minutes. Think about it.

Maysun looking to Orlando Baker

It's been reported that manager Maysun and the LA Kings staff & management have looked into the possible inclusion of the Jamaican born US player, Orlando Baker and have asked the player to consider appyling for the same.

The LA Kings management will also appeal to the CEO of MLC to include Orlando Baker after his decent outing for the US in the T20's.

[Sohel]

^Now watch someone else pick him. PM the CEO bro.

[Dilscoop]

There. Listed. http://banglacricket.com/alochona/sh...35&postcount=6

And now we wait.

[Sohel]

So I get the 5th pick in all of the odd numbered rounds and the 12th pick in all of the even numbered rounds. The randomization I mentioned in POST 529 would've made things more exciting and fair, but oh well

I'll log back at 4AM BST for the draft. Khoda Hafez for now.

That's not fair at alll for the people in the middle, because some people could always be rolling at the bottom of the table on random draws, you never know. While Top 2 stays at the top for the most amount of time. "Serpentine" draft style is know for being the most fairest draft style. And it has a continuity and patter and we are sticking by it.

Number 5 isn't so bad compared to number 6

Cya man. I'm counting on you. One of my committed GMs

[Dilscoop]

Snake style is theoretically fair for the first two rounds. My system of random draws for subsequently odd numbered rounds flipped in the even numbered rounds that follow is theoretically more fair because that way, everybody has the chance to go first at least once.

[Dilscoop]

Where I was planning on a "auction draft" with bidding and everything for next season. But hell, if we can't even get through this most easiest draft, how can we get bidding going!

[Kohli_Sox]

Let's start, Dilscoop give me the green signal

[Maysun]

As expected, Kohli_Sox has picked Gayle. Favorites already?

[Sohel]

HERE'S MY PLAYER PAYROLL.

Hope it helps with the formatting. Can't go over budget because you MUST be able to afford your drafted players and pay them.

I'll post the match fee per individual player after drafting them and will indicate with a " * " if he's available for trade.

[Dilscoop]

Few minor things to be fixed from that Kohli's post. I PMed him.

Now next people just hit quote. Then get rid of the quote codes, and post your pick underneath his, make rest of our lives easier. Like follows.


Round One:

1. Chris Gayle, (WI) - (Philadelphia Flyers, Kohli_Sox)
2. _________ ( ) - (Kansas City Chiefs, Tigers_Eye)
3.

[Dilscoop]

Just FYI, if you are visiting this thread and don't have a team and would like to have a team then you can replace couple of our inactive managers for -

Pittsburgh Pirates
Seattle Mariners
Detroit Lions

Think about it.
