I already gave my availability earlier. Gonna go through the rules in next hour.
Thanks for your kind words, everyone
Unfortunately, we cannot begin the auction sooner. Solomon is unavailable.
I will conduct a mock auction for whoever is interested from noon GMT.
@AngryPixel - your absence is unappreciated. I sent you a PM two days ago and your next response is 3 hours before the auction. You are ignoring the effort that goes into making this a seamless process for everyone. You entered this thread, criticised the auction, never registered your icon players, and disappeared. You were supposed to provide your icon list by Saturday morning.
Here is how we will proceed:
Suresh Raina will not be removed from the auction list. It is too late to do so, now that managers have begun creating strategies. In any case, Raina was an exception that Ishaan made for you - Raina never played for J&K. You must pick another legend from J&K, based on Ishaan's original post.
If you do not reply with your confirmed icon list by 11am GMT, you are out of the tournament.
You have to understand how this late re-entry of yours throws a spanner into the works.
- I will have to add 6 new players to the auction
- The other managers who haven't seen your late re-entry will have to readjust their strategies, which is unfair to them
- It is unfair to me, since you haven't shown any respect to the process. I will now have to modify my excel, modify the player list, and bear the brunt of other managers who will complain at my decision.
- You have thrown the 9 team league format into disarray. I had already created a rough league structure with three groups and qualification rules. This will now have to be rearranged into a 10-team league. It is unlikely that I can now recreate the structure before the auction, since I need to consult with Ishaan. If I post the groups after the auction, managers will accuse me of bias. So far, you have been the only person to accuse me of that. Unacceptable. Yet, I am trying to fit you in.
If you do choose to re-enter, I will add one backup player from each category into the auction, and I will add Trent Boult and Steve Smith.
Hey guys .. I understand everyone wants to watch the t20 match. I couldn't avoid this meeting, which was scheduled already. I will try to join in early as soon as it gets over.
Look forward for the auction. Good Luck to all.
I'm not retaining any player. There is no player worth retaining. I didn't replied earlier because i had hectic days. I was travelling since Friday. I already gave my availability in the ishaan's thread. Since i didn't said anything about opting out you should have understood that i could be busy.
There was just one option in ishaan's original post, that is ajay jadeja. I'll do some more digging and try to find out some better played who has player for J&K. Till then consider Ajay Jadeja as legend.

Thanks for the offer This league is for us to enjoy DBC, so please continue. I was just upset by Angrypixel's disrespectful attitude, where he doesn't even seem apologetic for the confusion he is causing.
I will speak to Ishaan later and create a 10-team league structure. I will pick random team numbers from a random generator. Team numbers are in post 3.

Jadeja added as J&K legend.

Let me also state that if someone makes a bid that his budget does not allow for, then the next highest bidder will have first option to choose the player at the price he bid for. If he does not want to choose that player anymore (perhaps because he bought some other player in the same round), that player will remain unsold for the moment, and will come back into the auction later. Let me know if you have any questions regarding this.
