Ohh...except that really is not a draft that is one person gets their whole team and then the next players get what's left. A draft is where you select one player, next team selects one player, etc. In a snake draft the person picking last in the 1st rd gets 1st pick in the 2nd rd, etc. A regular draft is like MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL draft but those are used when the draft choices are based on where you finished.

Advice from rockycola: DON'T FUCK WITH mm's RULES. Leave it be. I love how he's plans on doing it. Simple is as simple does.
OK bil, its not a draft.
Its a
Tiered Allocation Priority Selection Pool using a Waterfall selection format but that sounds stupid.
Look back at how last year played out - make sure you read the first 5 pages of the second part.

Wow, it was complicated.
Hence - the "Keep it Simple" strategy.
Its the fastest way that we can get to a position where everyone gets unique players - we can't afford to wait for 2 or 3 days for someone to pick a player then move to the next protagonist otherwise it would take about 3 months to do the draft.
Trust me, it will be alright - I see it as 5 different drafts all running quickly and at the same time. Of course there is an advantage to first picker but look carefully again at the groups, its not as if Xpert is going to get Scheffler, McIlroy, Bryson, Rahm and Schauffele is it?
Do a mock draft if you want to see what squads might look like then come back to us?
Whichever, make sure you still play. The comps are not the same without your name on the leaderboard
