Hi all,

A number of you have been calling for a change to the ordering of the autopick draft process. It currently goes:

Player 1, Player 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2... etc

The point was rightly made that this gives an unfair advantage to the player who goes first. This makes it less likely for people to pick up challenges for Autopick from the homepage, because they know they'll go second.

In response, we've now changed it to a more traditional snake draft, where the order is:

1,2,2,1,1,2,2,1,1,2,2,... etc

i.e. the first entrant still goes first, but the second-comer gets 2nd and 3rd pick, and so on.

This change will be introduced for Friday's (1/29) games.

Please post any feedback or suggestions below.

sounds good. It was a change that needed to be made...Good job

the better way would be to have it be random who goes first also, not the first person.

now some people will only wanna go 1st or 2nd. should just be random whos first + the snake

I don't really know what tuffled was saying there, but I think i do, and my opinion is the same as far as- The first pick should be random some how. As of now, when LBJ plays there is a race by some people to enter their teams asap to insure they get the first pick. Then alot of peeps walk by those games not wanting to give up LBJ... Just make the 1st pick random... Thatd be great
