Qualifier - 1v 2 - Winner goes to finals
This is too much confusion, existing playoffs structure much better than this.
For everyone in the last 2-3 pages saying, Mumbai cannot deny mega-auction, remember this - IPL auctions will happen the way Mumbai wants. If Mumbai says there is not enough time to have a mega-auction, that means "there is not enough time".
I didn't get your point? U are saying that Mega Auction doesn't have Retention? It's always der. How do you think Dhoni, Raina, Kohli etc etc never went to auctions after the initial one. Even during the first Auction, Teams were given choice to pick Icon players. Thats how Sachin, Sehwag, Dravid, Ganguly wound up playing for their respective city franchises.
Where did I say this?
What u want to say I can't understand ur point?
Read the message I quoted when making the post. That will give the context. Even if new teams are added, retaining system will be there because Mumbai will want it that way.
The whole context you are saying Mumbai retained. So I got u are inferring taht. And then I have asked you, I haven't given a statement. And explanation if u are inferring that part. Now in the above post u are inferring Mumbai benefitted from retention, for the same, if teams don't use them wisely its their mistake not teams who are using them.
1. I am saying the Retention System is flawed because it allows a player to be taken for less amount that what the player would be bought for if in an auction. Example Bumrah for 7c. Instead don't have Retention System and take Bumrah for whatever price happens in the auction. That is a fair method is what I am saying.
Buddy! Retention also provides Player to say no to the price which the franchise is offering. They can demand more. If Bhumrah is satisfied with 7 crores then its his wish. Take Kohli for example, he felt he is above 15 Cr and demanded for 17 crores which RCB is paying happily. Bumrah one is on himself not MI, if they got him agreed to 7 crores.
