CPL Rugby Union

    I have asked Cribb to make a subbie for this in the CPL section (so hopefully he does and this thread can be moved there)

    Hoping to get as many managers as possible. Very frustrating when all these CPL's just never get anywhere so this certainly won't be the case with this one.

    There'll be the usual things, trading and so forth. Looking at squads of 30 so 30 rounds of drafting.

    Doesn't matter too much if the draft takes a little while as I'll be waiting to see how good Rugby Challenge 2 is (in terms of simming) which comes out in about 2 months or so. No doubt we'll finish before then so will start warm up games and things prior to it - just to keep the spirit of things up. I know RC2 probably won't be the best thing to be using as a sim (it could be, who knows) but it's always fun having that added simmage after the drafts.

    So who's keen?

  3. Eddie EI Morris

    Keen
     
  4. Magrat Garlick M Garlick

    Big draft. Maybe have 2-3 pick at vaguely the same time down the order?

    Keen though.

    A big draft indeed. However I suspect every season will be quite long, so cover and depth in squads will be needed.

    Open to any suggestions involving speeding up the draft. We do however have about 2 months + on our hands until the actual season can get underway. The faster the draft the more warm up games, the slower well then longer till we get under way I guess.

    Also thinking of implementing international teams (or similar) that play the odd game/ comp here and there. Which either I select or I choose "well performing" managers to select. Probably the latter for added fun.

    To explain a bit further: say that from pick 150, instead of having a strict order, the order are made of groups of 2-4.

    I.e.
    1. Rego, Skippos, Howe, Mariner
    2. Vimes, Eddie, Jabba, Heef
    3. Alex, Hunter, Morgie, Baxter

    When the clock starts anyone of that first 4 can draft - the next group have their turn either when all members of group 1 have picked or when the 12/24 hours are up. Would be better for the time zones imo.

    Internationals sound gun too. :toot:

    Oh ok yeah that makes sense. Would work well if everyone was in agreement. Would definitely be good for rounds 23-30 where everyone is just picking reserves. Possibly even earlier if everyone was in agreement. I guess it just depends how fast/ slow we're going.

    Yeah, in. Gonna pick faves.
     
  12. Baxter MJ Deane

    For round 23-30 you could do what one of the CPLs did a while back.

    Basically everyone PMs their picks for all 8 rounds and then you work through it.
    Small example

    Player A
    Round X : Bob Smith
    Round Y : Adam Brown
    Round Z : Simon Simons

    Player B
    Round X : Bob Smith
    Round Y : John Jones
    Round Z : Adam Brown

    Player C :
    Round X : Adam Brown
    Round Y : Ben Smith
    Round Z : Roger Jenkins

    Player A gets Simon Simons (Round X)
    Player B gets John Jones (Round X)
    Player C gets all 3 picks.

    ftr boot me for someone else if numbers are too many as I'll just be picking favourites/guys I like circa 2010 :p
     
  14. Eds E Ames

    Keeen.
     
  15. Zohaib ZM Ikram

  16. Howe JHF Howe

    Would be keen but I really don't trust my knowledge of any rugby outside the English premiership. I'd like to team up with someone though, I can at least help make sure picks/lineups/pre-match insults/etc are in on time.
     
  17. Baxter MJ Deane

    Would team up with Howe and pick the entire Leicester squad
