- Any random draft you dream up with your buddies!!
How a Snake Draft Works
A snake draft is when you reverse the order of picking every round, so the first drafter in round 1 becomes the last drafter in round 2, and then the first again in round 3, and so on.
Here is an example snake draft using this live random draft order example generated at the scheduled time:
-
Round 1
- Eddy
- Dan
- Sean
- Ryan
- Bob
-
Round 2 (= Round 1 reversed)
- Bob
- Ryan
- Sean
- Dan
- Eddy
-
Round 3 (same as round 1)
- Eddy
- Dan
- Sean
- Ryan
- Bob
-
Round 4 (same as round 2)
- Bob
- Ryan
- Sean
- Dan
- Eddy
Keep repeating this "snaking around" each round through the draft.
