For the next round I was thinking a sheep format pick. 2 picks and 2 blocks per round. No blocks though if picks fail but you cannot involve the same players in the next round.

For instance

Player A
Picks - Messi, Ronaldo
Block- maradona, pele

Player B
Picks - Messi, maradona
Block - Ronaldo, Pele

Player C - Pele, Pogba
Block - Beckham, Messi

Now in this case both Player A and B fail both their picks but they cannot pick or block any of the players they picked in the earlier round. In this situation,Pogba will obviously be blocked but no one else will be meaning if player C wants he can pick Ronaldo since he hadn't picked him or blocked him earlier. The other 2 cannot.

Is this idea fine? No sheeps will be given. At worst, you continue your current team.

(PS- One of you would have to be the mediator though. @Edgar Allan Pillow @Varun @The Man Himself )

Is this R2 or QF? If R2, I suggest you keep the snake order in reverse so that whoever had last picks in R1 can get the 1st picks here which evens things out. You can change from SF.
This is SF. Only me Raees mani and 2mufc0 left.
Ah man I was hoping straight forward snake.
I just thought we can have some fun instead of the usual. Plus most drafts I played had sheep at SF stage

Generally SFs are sheep format. Thats why i thought. If majority prefer snake, then let's go for that.

Sheep format is interesting one, anyway I'm happy with either format.

It's 2 vs 2 on what we should do , as you are running the draft you can decide , I think that's the best solution.

Yeah even I feel sheep is more fun at this stage. With few parties, we have mind games and stuff involved now that we have a huge pool to pick from. I think we should do the sheep thing itself if you don't mind

(I did create a brilliant sheep technique after all:angel:. Haven't drafted contracts with this sincerity :p)

I'm here now.. make your minds up. I prefer Snake because it's a snake draft but easy either way.

It's sheep. Will be fun, man. The whole point of drafts is to have fun while drafting.

Please Send your picks to @Varun.

This is the rules again.

For the next round I was thinking a sheep format pick. 2 picks and 2 blocks per round. No blocks though if picks fail but you cannot involve the same players in the next round.

For instance

Player A
Picks - Messi, Ronaldo
Block- maradona, pele

Player B
Picks - Messi, maradona
Block - Ronaldo, Pele

Player C - Pele, Pogba
Block - Beckham, Messi

Now in this case both Player A and B fail both their picks but they cannot pick or block any of the players they picked in the earlier round. In this situation,Pogba will obviously be blocked but no one else will be meaning if player C wants he can pick Ronaldo since he hadn't picked him or blocked him earlier. The other 2 cannot.

No sheeps will be given. At worst, you continue your current team.

How would Pogba be blocked? Player C gets Pogba, no?
Blocked in the sense that he won't be available for picking again. Messi will be available if player C wants (but it would be a risk as nobody's picks and blocks would be revealed so you have to gamble).

Is it too complicated? :p

Pogba would already have been picked by C, so I dont see how his availability is even a consideration. Also, think you mean Ronaldo and not Messi.

I dont think its complicated but you do have to reveal blocks imo otherwise it just becomes a crapshoot.

What happen to the manager with successful picks in first attempt, will he keep blocking for second and third round?

Actually @Varun if you want you can conduct thid round as per your discretion. Would be easier in fairness.

And no, if you are successful then you can'block. If you get one pick then one block would be allowed next round.

Keeping it as it is, it'll be good.
