I will take any advice and also suggestions for team names.

bladescape added 37 Minutes and 31 Seconds later...

Bidding to begin after the team names have been decided.

 

[age of the fall]

No Shane Bond?

What sort of names would you want?

 

[bladescape]

Whoops,How did I miss him!
I've put him in now.

Anything really,as long as it isn't stupid.

 

[JD10]

i would like a team but i don't get it

 

[westindies2007]

i would like a team but i don't get it

Same here :idea

 

[bladescape]

You select players from your squad and stratagies for matches and you name the franchise.
Every manager posts their favourite 20 players and That is what that bidders for that team try to win in the bidding.
Now do you understand?

 

[JD10]

abit mate

 

[bladescape]

Starting tomorrow,even if 8 people haven't joined.
WI07 and T20Pro,If you want teams then you can PM me the name of the team and the 20 target players.

 

[westindies2007]

I PM you, my team

 

[Amiya]

Would be a good story... Best of luck ahead...

 

[GrayNicolls]

I hope bladescape becomes bankrupt.

 

[bladescape]

Not likely!

 

[bladescape]

I forgot to mention that there will be a 50 over comp and a FC comp as well as a T20 comp.
More of a domestic season in its style but isn't!
Though I will start with the T20 comp.

 

[age of the fall]

I don't quite understand, so Ill let you randomize the remaining teams. then pick one if any are left

 

[bladescape]

Including names randomized or not?

bladescape added 42 Minutes and 33 Seconds later...

I'll wait until tomorrow morning too do the bidding because I'm not allowed on any more tonight.
Teams currently:
Ayub(needs to name it.)
WI07(needs to name it.)
Andyhorn(Adam's allstars.)

The other teams are open to be taken and any teams afterwards will be randomized.
And from what I understand,Then Age_of_the_fall is to chose one of the teams.
Then Bidding is to take place.
