I'm looking for a way of testing the new rugby league simulator with some different team balances and ideas, so I'm going to run a lightning fast CPL Rugby bidding process. The 'real' CPL Rugby will occur in due time with a proper draft process, reserve grade, less player restrictions etc but I just want this done quickly, so I'm basically going to run an NNRL style bidding process. How it works You have a salary cap of $5,000,000 You must recruit a total of 25 players A player's mimum wage is $50,000; do not make a bid of less than this. You will PM the CricSim account "CPL Rugby" with your opening bids. The first 20 people to PM their opening bids will have sides. If less than 20 people have PM'd after 24 hours (or after that if I say so) then we'll just run with < 20 teams. After 24 hours I'll then post up the results of the bidding (highest bidder on each player gets that player) and you'll be able to bid again on the remaining players. You'll have 24 hours to do so. This process will continue until everyone has exactly 25 players. The total number of signed players + new bids must always = 25 on each bidding day. If your bids don't add up for whatever reason I'll probably let you know as the PM comes in, but try not to rely on that. The competition will probably just be some sort of pooled/knockout thing but I'll be using the teams in a lot of testing after that. Available Players Any player who played an NRL game in 2013 Any player who played a Rugby League World Cup game in 2013 Any player that played an NRL game in their career at any stage, who played a Super League game, a Queensland Cup game, a NSW Cup game or a Holden Cup game in 2013
The reason we're using this format is so we can have teams ready in a week or so. We'll be using a proper draft once the sim is all ready to go.
Make sure you get your first bids in as soon as you have some time then because it'd be fucking shit for 20 people to get in ahead of you given how keen you constantly are for this.
If you want to be in just send your first 25 bids in, and you're in. I don't think it's going to fill up in the next couple of days.
Harder than I thought. Trying to find a good side with players that Cribb isn't consistently in public support of.
I've given up choosing one that goes along to Cribb's logic. Mine will probably end up with some interesting bids.
Just bid for 25 players, adding up to a $5,000,000, and PM the list to the CPL Rugby account on here. When everyone's bid I'll post up the results.. and you can use whatever money you've got left over from your failed bids to bid again the next day on any players that didn't get taken originally. And we just do that over and over every day until everyone has 25. And then we'll simulate a mini competition between them.
