I will use the Openroleplaying.org dieroller ( <a href="http://www.openroleplaying.org/tools/dieroller/index.cgi" target="_blank">http://www.openroleplaying.org/tools/dieroller/index.cgi</a> ) to generate the results.  We'll simply assign numbers based on alphabetical order of teams, ignoring the words "the" or "a" in the team name (hence, "The Frost Mages" are alphabetized as though they begin with "F").I will use the die roller to roll 1d12, and e-mail the results to all participants.  The team name that is that number in alphabetical order will have the first overall pick in the first round and will be "taken out" of the pool (i.e., if the number is "5" then the 5th team in alphabetical order will get the pick).  I will then use the die roller to roll 1d11, with all the remaining teams alphabetized; that team gets the second pick and is take out of the pool.  I'll then roll 1d10; that team gets the third pick.  Then 1d9 for the fourth pick, and so on, until we roll 1d2 for the eleventh pick, and the team that doesn't get the 11th pick (obviously) will get the 12th pick.Since this is a snake draft, the draft order will be reversed each round; thus, team that gets the last pick of the first round will get the first pick of the second round and vice versa.TRADING: Because Yahoo allows me to directly input the teams' picks, you will be allowed to make trades of any stripe you wish during the messageboard pre-draft, including 2-for-1 or 3-for-1 trades.  As soon as I can after the league gets filled, I will run the "lottery" as described above to create the draft order, and we can get started as soon as that order is determined.  I think it would be best to create a separate thread in Meta for this (and only this), with no editing of posts allowed to avoid arguments... except for the first post, of course, which hold a list of the players picked by each team (IOW, it's not an "I draft so-and-so" post) so everyone can keep track.Hopefully we'll get this filled shortly and we can get started on building our teams. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />--The Sigil</blockquote>
