- If you are last to pick your players in that round then you are able to pick your players in the next draft round straight away.

- Each draft rund will only go for 24 hrs, if you aren't able to get make your picks during that time then I will randomly assign you players.

Draft Picks:
Round 1 - 2 African Players, 1 Internationals
Round 2 - 2 African Players, 1 Internationals
Round 3 - 3 African Players, 2 Internationals
Round 4 - 3 African Players, 2 Internationals

Would you guys prefer to have a draft or an auction? Right now I'm leaning towards having a draft as it is an easier process.

[Gary123]

Would you guys prefer to have a draft or an auction? Right now I'm leaning towards having a draft as it is an easier process.

I'd prefer a draft.
But,if auction is conducted in the manner Shantanu has done then that will be great.

[Harishan]

I'd prefer a draft.
But,if auction is conducted in the manner Shantanu has done then that will be great.

Yeah, I really like the way Shan has done his auction process it has worked out well but I think a draft would be easier.
