Round One Manager 1 - Chooses a player Manager 2 - Chooses a player Manager 3 - Chooses a player Manager 4 - Chooses a player Manager 5 - Chooses a player Round Two Manager 5 - Chooses a player Manager 4 - Chooses a player Manager 3 - Chooses a player Manager 2 - Chooses a player Manager 1 - Chooses a player ...and so on. 1. Once the first pick has been made, the next manager has a maximum of 12 HOURS to make his pick. If the 12 hour deadline expires, the next manager in the draft order can make his pick. 2. If you think you will be away for over 12 hours remember to leave someone your shortlist to post for you. 3. Once you have made your pick, please Private Message the manager who follows you in the Draft Order. 4. You must draft a goalkeeper! Choose a sensible formation and build a balanced team. 5. We'll be evaluating the players on their performances/form/ability from the past 12 months. If the player has been injured for the last 12 months we need to think about how good would he be if he returned. Ask yourself this question: 'If I was a manager, who would I buy?'

We have our 25 managers now - any further managers will need to team up with an existing one. We'll probably kick off the Current World Draft in two weeks - leaving plenty of time to do any research
I laughed and cried when I saw the Draft Order! You lucky son of a... LEF has the easiest choice, so he wont need much time meditating on it!
17th How long do we allow every person for their turn ? Could someone refresh the newbies on the rules ?
12 hours for your pick. If you miss your turn you post your choice when you get online but anyone who has chosen in your absence keeps their pick. May I suggest that we have a no snagging each others pick until we are done (then rip each other to bits) the rule as well.
I think it should stay 24 hours tbh, the deadline worked for the majority in the Premier League draft.
Not sure about that, but I don't like the idea of leaving a shortlist with another manager and potentially reminding them of someone they'd forgotten. Simple answer, make sure you're on at least once every 12 hours, even if you do nothing on the forum other than look at this thread...
That will work too I don't think anyone needs 24 hours to make a pick - hopefully everyone playing are active users. Being last in the draft order, I wouldn't mind if a few picks were skipped anyway
