Chakdephatte Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 (edited) I was thinking if we all can plan a mock auction ahead of the mega auction. We will be online on a predecided date and time. 10 people will be enough, each representing their favourite team, more than that will be a bonus. Either no one is allowed to be retained or those who are actually retained are allowed. The only problem is, who will be the auctioneer and who has the time to list all the players. Please don't ask why? Edited October 8, 2021 by Chakdephatte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandeep Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Good idea, implementation is the question. Are there websites that offer this already - dream XI etc? In the US, you can easily set up mock 'drafts' and auctions using yahoo sports espn and umpteen other free options for american fantasy sports. More than a decade ago, I set up a basic tournament-specific fantasy points league for cricket on ICF - ran it in a database using basic SQL and Varun helped scrape cricinfo scorecards using perl. But nobody has time to setup a fully functioning auction software from scratch. Gotta be available now I'd think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 If it's simulated properly then those of us part of the MI team should have a larger budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think everyone tries to bid higher than others. Oh, may be you mean bidders of the same team can disagree. That is also a problem. We will have 10 people qt maximum, so one oerson can get one team.

zen Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 One downside is that the auction team will be different from the IPL team so not many will bother with following such a team ... The "fun" would only be in knowing what players can fetch on ICF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Online bidders would need to bid in turn (including saying no bid in which case they are out) for e.g. Player A in auction ... turn established Opening price by bidder X say $100K Next turn is of Y (not Z): no bid Z: $200K X: No bid Player A sold to Z for $200K Chakdephatte 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If every poster can come up with his own idea, it will be possible. We should not let this thread die till then. By the way, which teams are you going to auction for, my guess is Ahmedabad.

speedheat Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 (edited) Good idea will be fun if executed properly. But kkr,rr,rcb,pkb who will bid from their side? There aren't many fans from these teams present here though we have one fake Punjabi @coffee_rules who might bid from pkbs side.
