Exactly this....The resistance of mainstream auctions IMO are that it's not as cut and dry as with rankings or ADP in august where you can predict how things go for the most part. Auctions take more personal planning, strategy, etc. that the less-hardcore FF players will not be committed to on a regular basis.I for one love the slow email-style auctions, but some that get involved in those leagues are antsy and frustrated a couple days in about the process. To each their own.Its called an AUCTION.
I'm a big fan of letting people pick their spots.But to determine the picking order, how about a Texas Hold 'Em tournament?sometimes allowing owners to choose their position.
This but the order/ number you pick isnt necessarily the number you have to have.For example...the person who pick #1 out of the hat has first choice as to which spot he wants to pick and so on and so forthGet drunk. Pull names from a hat.
How can you do an auction for a draft?

We put everyone's name in the hat and the order they are pulled is the draft order.'Bigboy10182000 said:This but the order/ number you pick isnt necessarily the number you have to have.For example...the person who pick #1 out of the hat has first choice as to which spot he wants to pick and so on and so forth'Skeletore Eh said:Get drunk.

No shtick - I have zero clue how it could be confusing. Throw names (of the owners) in a hat. First name drawn gets to nominate a player. Move down the line until all names are drawn. Repeat the order until the draft is complete. You can get any player you want. Want to go Calvin/Richardson/scrubs? Go ahead. Want a team full of flyers? Knock yourself out. Auctions are worlds better than typical drafts. They're infinitely more fair AND infinitely more fun.'Kenny Powers said:How can you do an auction for a draft?

This is what I use as well. Works fine.'Bronx Bomber said:My commish used fftoolbox.com (IIRC). They have a random draft order selector and then they send athe results to the league members to show it was from a 3rd party (non-tampering).
