Ok I've read the rules. But since I have diminished comprehension ability and ADD (self diagnosed, happened just now), couple of questions:

1. What does the term 'blocked' imply? Blocked for the round, or blocked for the entire draft...
2. What the hell is a curveball? As in, someone gets Abou Diaby for Round 1 sheep, or something much worse?
3. What about the player pool?

That's about it. Oh, and apologies for being a chump about this all.

1. blocked for the entire draft (unless there's a special final round where all the blocked players become available again, we had that in first sheep draft).
2. A curveball is @Chesterlestreet 's way of praising the evil sheep draft master genius of @Skizzo or in short, the more brainfeck criteria the better.
3. In theory the criteria restrict the player pool anyway, but it's possible to limit it from the start. I think the first sheepdraft was limited to all players born after Maradona.

 

[The Stain]

Playing? @Balu

Ah, I get it now thanks to that, and The Stain's PM.

@Raees @VivaJanuzaj @harms @Aldo @Cutch

Sorry mate, since the new job I can't commit to drafts anymore wouldn't be able to do it justice especially recently. . Quality of the write ups is better than ever.

[Isotope]

Any space left?

I might leave if the curveball requires too much research though.

 

[Joga Bonito]

Has to be the fastest sign up ever , nothing can beat a good sheep draft.

 

[Physiocrat]

I'll be snowed under at work soon, so unfortunately I'll have to decline. Thanks for considering me. @sjor

I will though be lurking in the sidelines.

I really think though the draft should have a different scoring system, like the one Aldo suggested a while back. Also we need a way for keepers to be improved

@Raees @VivaJanuzaj @harms @Aldo @Cutch

Thanks for the shout out buddy. Can't really get much time around as you can see from my half arsed efforts in the current one. So will sit out for a while.

thought if you are playing there is a chance of a first round match between us so at least one progresses for a change

Will be busy in next 2 weeks, so count me out this time

 

[NM]

I want in but too busy pencil me for the next draft and I can watch this one

 

[NM]

who is running this? @Edgar Allan Pillow can you include me in the running so I can laugh please?

 

[Moby]

Was just about to ask this.

 

[Snow]

Saw this updated and thought it was about suggestions. Was going to suggest something like "Never won a league medal" or "Never won anything at international level" or "All players except X nationality". Thought this could do with some weird twist.

I'd be up for this anyways. Need to brush up on history.

I think I might be able to run it (with the support of a small committee). Two things first though:

1. Can we have some more discussion on potential new scoring system? Something simple but perhaps more balanced than the status quo?
2. Keepers will count for more.

Sure. Couple of questions. If a player is blocked does it count for that round only or is he unpickable for the rest of the draft?
The example in the sheep draft thread you posted had one guy fail three times. Was he just stupid so as to explain what a sheep is or are manager picks only revealed when all picks/sheeps are confirmed?

Manager picks only revealed after turn three.
