All time ODI Draft - Snake Format

Though I'm not playing, my opinion is that seeding would not be proper. In footy draft experience, there has been ample instances wherein the winner of previous drafts gets eliminated in R1 of the next one.

Pool is the fairest option of all, but considering the sheer number of matches, a quiz should be an acceptable alternative.
 
Option B.. 6 matches, then have super 6 round, where we have top 4 go through in one match thread. Two teams with lowest votes get knocked out and go straight to semis.
 
Option C. Option B will be too many matches plus it would be fun
 
Option C sounds the most interesting.

The Playoff Puzzle Round - #1: GOAT

Who is the 5th greatest cricketer of all time?

Winner will be randomized from the biggest pool.

NOTE: If there is a tie or no result, I'll just randomize the pool based on managers who chose the player I have in mind.


The Playoff Puzzle Round - #2: Best Format

Which is the best cricket format of all time?

a) Test
b) ODI
c) T20
d) Street/Gully

Winner will be randomized from the biggest pool.

NOTE: If there is a tie or no result, I'll just randomize the pool based on managers who chose the format I have in mind.

The Playoff Puzzle Round - #3: Jack of All Time (JOAT)

Who is the greatest of versatile cricketers? (as in can do many jobs, bat/bowl or bat/keep etc)

Winner will be randomized from the biggest pool.

NOTE: If there is a tie or no result, I'll just randomize the pool based on managers who chose the player I have in mind.


The Playoff Puzzle Round - #4: Blackjack

Pick a number that can win you this blackjack game. If two or more managers submit the same number, they will get DQ'd and drop out the win criteria for this round.

NOTE: If there is no clear winner, I may at my own discretion dilute the criteria to the biggest number with the smallest pool.


EDIT: For those with mental development of 5 or below,
- blackjack is won by whoever gets exactly 21 or the closest to it.
- So you need to submit a number lesser than or equal to 21.
- If the same number as you submit is chosen by other manager(s) all who chose that number will be DQ'd.
- So you need to gamble on a number high enough to win and not popular enough to attract other managers.

A bunch of you have voted for Tests.
I was tempted to disqualify you all on general principles for being boring cnuts and hand this over to the good Desi Gully guys.

But still... The lucky (and boring) winner of this round is NM!

Congrats, @NM you just won the 2nd bye.
