How to randomize a fantasy draft order

Spin through everyone and post the order.

  1. Add every manager or team, one per line.
  2. Spin. Each spin takes one name off the wheel and puts it at the next position.
  3. Keep going until the order is complete, then copy it out.

Do it in front of everyone

Draft order is the draw leagues argue about most. Either run it on a shared screen in fullscreen mode, or record it: one proof session captures every pick in sequence and ends on the complete order, with the time and a fingerprint of the exact list of managers.

Weighted draft lotteries

If your league gives last season's bottom team better odds, add weights. A weight of 3 is three chances out of the total, not a guaranteed first pick — which is how a lottery is supposed to work.

Reverse order

Some leagues draw last pick first. Draw the order however you like, then read it backwards — copy the list and reverse it in the league chat. The randomness is the same either way.
