there has been a lot of discussion about (un)fairness of the current snake draft system, especially the fact that unsuccessful captains get dicked in a 12-team league by having, say, picks #1 and then #24, #25. the board pondered the issue lenghtily in pre-season, but it was too late to change the rules at that point. we should get things moving WAY in advance so it doesn&#039;t get forgotten and picked up again a week before the next season starts, so here we go.<br /><br />[b]we propose that the caps should pick their place in the draft, in the order they would pick in the old system.[/b] the caps with weakest results could improve their position by placing themselves wherever they think it&#039;s advantageous. this should remove the #1 pick curse and add another layer of cap tactics straight from pre-season. caps would be required to decide very soon (&lt;x&gt; days?) after the cap list finalization.<br />just so it&#039;s clear: the caps would pick their order in the first round, the following rounds would still go by snake order.<br /><br />this is a big change and we&#039;d like some feedback from the community. discuss, please!
