Hi
These games have been successful in the past - I am capping the entrants at 14 so get in quick.
If you have been sitting on the sidelines watching these Wrighty games in the past and thinking I will enter next year then let this be your year.
Each year we have a hoot playing these games. The game thread will be very active. It will give us something to do while we wait for next pre-season to roll around.
This is likely to run over the Christmas Holidays so please enter if you will be either in town or have access to your phone on the holiday.
Have found in the past when I give out all the rules in advance it discourages sign ups and confuses people. So the full set of rules will be published in due course once sign ups are complete.
I would like 14 - if I only get 10 I will need to recalibrate the game slightly. Wrighty will not play and will be the moderator of the game. For those who haven't played one of my games before this means that I can make and change the rules on the fly during the game and my decisions are final as sometimes we just need a decision to move forward.
The Game concept at a high level
If we get 14 guys there will be two rounds where each player takes a turn as round master
Each contestant gets a bidding war chest. Once you spend it - it is gone. No Loans. No Do overs. Spend Wisely.
Qualifying players are League Players who have played at least one test match since 1980 for England, NZ, or Australia
Round master asks a qualifying question and there is one round of silent auction and one round of open auction.
There will be a sheep aspect in that if you bid on someone no one else does you get that player for free.
I have the rules figured out at a much more detailed level but as mentioned will not take clarification questions at this stage. Once we get our required crew I can take questions and you can make some rule change suggestions if you like.

Guaranteed as the Irish say to be some craic.
