@harshad You fine with playing? All you need to do is pm a choice using your phone when you're at work.

@Mani @Varun

I think 10-12 is more than enough; with the potential of blocked players, you do not want absolutely rubbish players like Herath/ Olonga getting through
If it's 13, we'll have 4 groups of 3. If its 10, 2 guys would need to becomes AMs. Let's see what we get by tonight

Btw @Interval, it's a sheep draft. You'll be lucky if Herath is the worst player in your team at the end of drafting.

I'm still up for my shittest players draft, where your opponent has to fight for your team.

Do it in sheep format - where the sheep is an all time great

What is it?
The Monopoly Draft:

Managers will be randomized in snake order.
Every turn I'll randomize number 1-16 and allocate to managers. Just like throwing a dice. You need to pick on criteria you get for that number in snake order.
Certain numbers like 1, 2, 7, 12, 15, & 16 will not feature in every round.

It'll be a criteria draft, but everyone will have different criteria's for the same round.

We could improve the criteria's to make it more interesting in the interim.



Opinions?

Let's go with 10 no? Reducing teams in a sheep draft would make it less fun. We can come up with group stages or something later.

Having 12 makes groups easy. With 10, it'd need to be 4+3+3 with 2+1+1 going through which isn't balanced.

Hello all

Welcome to the draft. I have got a team of 2 highly efficient, skilled and experienced draft organizers who will bring you a world class draft and will make it an experience to savor. We believe a draft shouldn't just be transactional in nature but offer an experience which takes our customers, both participants and voters alike, to self-actualization state.

I have full trust in ability of my team but we are always open to suggestions and improvements, so in case you feel need for escalation or bring something to my notice, I can be contacted by tagging or PM.
