7 in, keep it rolling.
ah but there are many risks, depends on which one
My understanding is you need to be India to pick Messadona.
Messadona is India only.
I'll go with something more straight forward.
Pelealdo?
So which one of you fellas has decided to go down the evil route and attempt to block others' picks?
Oh, crap, I was doing it wrong all along, then...Isn't that what the first two picks are meant for?

I'll take that. All of the cool long names will make the my team fill up the whole field without much effort.You've got to stick with Iran now mate
I liked it
To rephrase the question above: Are players, for the purpose of this draft (or round, at least), limited to one national team (viz. the first one they were capped for) even if they have caps for several?
Example: Lothar Messadona was first capped for India, then went on to play for Brazil. I pick Brazil as my country - successfully. Nobody picks India successfully. Can I then grab Lothar? Or is he out of bounds, because he is considered to represent India and India only?
Submitted. How many more are left to submit?
Messadona is Indian and seems to have had a lot of curry last time I saw picks of him.
13How many picks submitted?
Good. I'm happy to know that we'll be going through a regular schedule. At least we won't be dealing with stuff like extra-long delays or anything like that (hopefully).So we are clear here, this draft will require an immense amount of admin legwork. It won't be run according to managers' patience.
A strict schedule has been put together which works fine for The Stain and I to coordinate and cover for each other. We will have things to throw into the mix later as special events while Picks 2 and 3 are playing out so you are entertained, but we won't be constantly chopping and changing times subject to when all picks are in.
The deadlines are set in stone but if either of us are around when all picks are in you'll obv get longer (until the next deadline) for the next pick. If the deadlines are shit for you then get an AM (this last bit was directed at everyone).Good. I'm happy to know that we'll be going through a regular schedule.

Very good. Bamboozle and sheep, really. Sheepoozle.
One question about the bidding: I don't get the "increments of 1M" part: You pick a player who meets the criterion, and then add a bid. And then you either land him or not - as far as I can see, you can't up your bid at any stage, since the player simply gets blocked if multiple managers enter identical (highest) bids.
Surely "Baaamboozle" is the way to go with the name
And the 1m increments just means I could bid 11m instead 10m, and wouldn't need to better your bid by the usual 5-10m amount
I meant no 30.5M bids.Very good. Bamboozle and sheep, really. Sheepoozle.

ETA Nevermind, I see what you mean now: 11 or 33, not 10 or 30, etc. I just thought it involved some kind of regular outbidding process at first.
Exactly, it's like a closed envelope single shot tender in multiples of 1M.Surely "Baaamboozle" is the way to go with the name

Or at least it's my understanding
ThisThe budget part sounds nuts. Won't that mean there is pretty much a zero possibility of sheep as it's highly unlikely 2 players bid on the same player with the same bid?

Fair point. Budget use only applies in Pick 1 @The Stain.The budget part sounds nuts. Won't that mean there is pretty much a zero possibility of sheep as it's highly unlikely 2 players bid on the same player with the same bid?
