Work out a snake draft order

Some leagues pick players in a snake draft instead of an auction: the last team to pick in one round picks first in the next. Enter your teams to get the order.

Questions organizers ask

What is a snake draft?

Teams take turns picking one player each. The order reverses every round — 1 to 8, then 8 to 1 — so the team that picks last in a round picks first in the next.

Does DesiAuction run drafts?

No. DesiAuction runs live auctions, where owners bid for players against a purse. This tool is here for leagues that pick by draft.

Draft or auction — which is fairer?

A draft spreads picks evenly; an auction lets each owner decide who is worth more. Many leagues use an auction with a purse and a minimum squad so that no team can buy all the stars.
