Starting Resources
Each Manager will have a starting $10Mn for spending
Round 1 – Silent Bid on Teams (Mandatory Participation)
There will be a X number of (X = number of Manages) already pre-prepared teams available for bidding. This team will consist a mix of all time greats and some all time not so greats and Managers will be able to see the different team sheets. Managers will PM me their bids by ranking them from first choice to last choice and their bid for each team. Minimum bid for a team is $100,000 and increases are to be in multiples of $50,000. The respective team will go to the manager with the highest bid for that team, provided that manager hasn’t already won another team with an even higher bid.
Eg: Take a scenario of 3 Managers (and therefore 3 teams)
Manager 1 would send me the following bids;
Team C - $800,000
Team A - $350,000
Team B - $100,000
Manager 2 would send me the following bids;
Team C - $700,000
Team B - $500,000
Team A - $100,000
Manager 3 would send me the following bids;
Team C - $750,000
Team B - $600,000
Team A - $100,000
I will announce the winners as follows;
Team A – Manager 2 for $100,000
Team B – Manager 3 for $600,000
Team C – Manager 1 for $800,000
Manager 1 – Balance remaining $9,200,000
Manager 2 – Balance remaining $9,400,000
Manager 3 – Balance remaining $9,900,000
Team A will go to Manager 2 despite having a higher bid from Manager 1. If we have a scenario where 2 teams have tied bids we will do another round of bids just for those Managers and teams. However in this round the Managers have to place bids higher than their initial bid.
Round time frame: 24 hrs. If I get all bids in before we can proceed earlier
I will share a list of players available for bidding in Round 3 at this point. Managers can use this to decide their moves for round 2 and 3.
Round 2 – Manager Trades (Optional Participation)
In this round Managers could trade players from their respective teams with other Managers. No restrictions here. Managers can trade 1 player for 2 or more in return or even trade players for cash. All dealings however need to be public on the thread.
Round time frame: 24 hrs.
Round 3 – Silent Bid on Players (Optional Participation)
The main purpose of this round is to fill in the holes in each team.
New Rule: Unlike for the Mix n Match Test Draft, I'm thinking of doing a live draft here for this. Will agree with all managers for a 30 min window for the auction. We might have to run this over 4 days where we focus on 2 categories (opening batsman, No.3s, Wicket keepers, spinners etc) per auction. Managers will post their bids on a separate thread and I'll do my best to live update the excel. Using a randomiser, within the 30 min window the action will suddenly close. I will give a further 24 hours for Managers to bid again as they may have lost some of the players they hoped for in the live auction. If all goes well, all managers will have a complete squad by the end of this 2nd round.
Round time frame: within 30 mins across 3-5 days
Basis of selecting the draft winner
50% weightage on vote and SIM each.
For the vote, Managers (and even other forum members) can PM me their ranking. Their own team will not be ranked.
The SIM will be managed by TO.
MUST COMPLY: Team Composition – Manager Responsibility
A manager can build as big a squad as he chooses however he can only nominate his final IX for the vote and SIM. A minimum of 5 bowlers (including all-rounders) must be nominated for the SIM and a minimum of 2 spinners must be amongst them.
Opening batsman and No.3s to be those classified as such in the original team and Round 3 bidding sheet. Wicket Keepers/ All Rounders highlighted as "Orange" can be also used as an Opener, "Yellow" can be used as a No.3
Eg: 1
Your pre-selected team is
1. Hayden
2. Jayasuriya
3. Lara
4. Kohli
5. Hussey
6. Sanga
7. Watson
Watson will be highlighted Orange. Manager may opt to have Watson as an opener for Jayasuriya. In this case Jayasuriya CAN NOT be put to bat at No.7. The Manager was fill the No.7 slot with a Batsman/All Rounder/ Bowler. Opener/No.3s can only play in those slots.
Eg: 2
Your pre-selected team is
1. Hayden
2. Jayasuriya
3. Lara
4. Kohli
5. Hussey
6. Sanga
