NUFAN
Y no Afghanistan flag
Pretty cool idea. I wonder if it will end up making everyone share the same opinions of players as people will soon realize who's a hot player and who's a cold player for the people who vote.
Just a suggestion, but the points system reminded me of old school Formula 1 - so it might be fun to let all the drafters 'stage a round' and make the rules/conditions however they like.

Impressed that you noticed the points format Nuf, as a huge F1 fan myself, it's what I based it on.
I was wondering the same thing myself, whether people will choose players entirely to win votes. I'll definitely change things around with the formats we run, but I was thinking that we return every three or four rounds to the classic format just to keep it grounded.
Do you want a slot in the reserves, Nuf?
EDIT: Michaelf7777777 is in, so our reserves are now Monk, morgieb, rvd619323 and himself.

Alright, from this moment this draft is ON STANDBY until Monk's ATG Quick draft is finished.
The order will remain the same, although kingkallis may need to re-pick depending on whether Sobers is included or not.

Agreed here, but I thought the general consensus would be to keep Sobers in. If the majority of people want Sobers taboo, he will become taboo.
That'd be great, I am running the ODI draft, the Draft League and some of the ATG world XI's game, so that would help a lot. I think you should hold out on starting it until Monk is done though, for obvious reasons.Hold off on starting it Jager, we've got three drafts running to start with - ATG, ATG ODI and the Auction Draft.
ATG is ending soon, so maybe start once that ends.
Definitely use a separate thread for the 'Reserve' Drafts. I'll run it if you'd like

Well I think Sobers should stay, after considering it. You get a genuinely unfair advantage if you get Bradman. Sobers, despite being a superhero all-rounder, does not automatically make your lineup stand out from the rest. I'd say probably because he is a fifth bowling option, instead of Miller, Imran, Botham etc. who can genuinely be used to open the bowling at ATG level. If you get Bradman, you will likely still get another two ATG bats to make your lineup by far the best.

I agree. Bradman is so ridiculously good it's absurd. Considering great batsmen like Ponting, Tendulkar and Viv all average around 50, and would be considered in many ATG World XIs, the fact that Bradman averages 100 seems crazy.
And on Sobers, if I had first selection, I'd probably take him, but I'd also consider Imran, Viv and Warne strongly, for various reasons.
However, if Bradman is included, I take him, no doubt. He is two excellent batsmen in one, giving me massive flexibility to be creative with all-rounders at #6, 7 and 8.

Why would you HOLD something amazing like this? Other 2 drafts are QUICKIES and will be over in no time so lets continue with this...

The ATG test draft should be over very soon.
I'm keen as to get on board with this, so I'll keep track of what happens!

awta.
No one is up there with Sobers, only Bradman and that is as a batsman alone. Warne is just in that level below, and for me followed by Marshall. Hobbs and Richards.
