Tbh, a minis tournament is like a little season in itself? It will give people an idea of what to expect from the new sim before the matches actually start counting for one thing...
I actually agree with Damo unfortunatly I can just see the auctions taking too long, simming etc. Im just not getting any sort of exccitment for this thing compared to the start of S2 and the intro of the new team.
Right, there are 3 options for this. OPTION A: None of this happens, although it will not mean Season 2 will start alot quicker. OPTION B: A draft takes place. OPTION C: An auction takes place. The draft would simply be as the CPL Football and Cricket have been. The auction would take place as follows. - There will be 4 clubs. - You need at least 19 players. - You must have 1 player from each Seasonal Rugby "normal" club. - The budget each team would get, would be £19million. - Club owners could bid to 0.1m but not too 0.01m. - The top 10 posters will be known as "star players" and will have a set reserve price. The bidding will start at the reserve price rather than 0 for these players. - It would be announced what type of player would be drawn in the auction at a certain time. e.g Lock, Scrum Half, Fly Half, Centre, Wing. - There would be an official thread, where people can bid with the auction finishing when I say FINISH. The highest bid before this is said will win the auction. The time of the FINISH will be informed before the auction. Shall I put it to a poll? By the way guys, I want to reitarate that Season 2 will not come alot faster whether this is here or not.
Poll. Have to say the auction does sound fun...and also the fact that we'll get a good run on the new sim to see how it plays.
