We do a toilet bowl and the winner gets 4 balls in the 1OA lottery, then we work backwards from there.

Another solution to tanking would be to do an auction draft, yes? That way there's no benefit to finishing last? Genuine question, what's the advantage to a snake draft versus an auction? Time, I'm guessing? Mental effort?

Not everyone is willing or able to dedicate multiple hours to a draft (  ). Plus perceived complexity, whether that's real or imagined. Everyone understands "click highest ADP man". Not everyone knows what to do when the second guy put up for bid is, idk, Dameon Pierce.Auctions have gotta be objectively better in terms of fairness and representing skill in the final roster. Not to whine and make excuses for my horrible management this year but in every draft I was picking like 10-12. Value was so top heavy this year. When you're picking from the likes of Saquon and Davante Adams vs CMC/JJ/Hill you're starting out behind the 8 ball. In an auction, if I want CMC, I can have CMC. Or make sure whoever gets him pays so much the rest of his roster is hamstrung. I would love for some of my leagues to move to auction but there's no way people are going to put in the work.

Snake is also a lot easier to do in person. I wouldn’t even wanna imagine trying to do a live auction draft.

Start to finish it took under two hours. I do understand a lot of folks play with people who aren't their close personal friends, so having a big draft party is not always gonna be in the cards. But having done it this way, exactly once, I can't imagine wanting to do a snake draft.

Dropped Rhamondre when he went down. First seed in the league in both record AND PF has Zeke stashed on the bench. Feels bad man. First round playoff exit, here I come!

My main league's draft already is a huge party among friends with everyone in attendance so we don't even have that excuse. People just don't want to rock the boat. There's also a LOT of drinking so I imagine bidding would devolve into an absolute shitshow toward the end. Which is not necessarily an argument against

Mostly so you can just do it at your own pace and relax instead of having a timer forcing people into a lovely auto draft if you take .1 second too long. You can take a break halfway through if you want. Everyone doesn’t have to sit there with their face in their computer.FAT32 SHAMER posted:We did our snake draft on yahoo, I cannot imagine doing it on paper lol What is unimaginable about just writing draft picks on a board, or typing them into an excel sheet that is mirrored on a tv?

I can see the appeal of doing a draft old-school, with a big draft board and everything. We were still able to pause our draft for piss and (big) smoke breaks doing it on ESPN.

I will say that I’m in a fair amount of goon leagues, but I’ve always been intrigued by the idea of a live goon draft. Not electronic, live and in person. The logistics would be a nightmare, but I think we would have a hell of a time. If I ever won the Powerball, I’d fly the 20 team league members to Vegas or something for a live draft. 😁
