One of the downsides of not having a snake draft is you're constantly screwing over the same people. The top line Reds are all pretty salty, though. I definitely gave Sanders a thought.
I should take this post as a challenge, actually, to create a snake pattern. Nothing changes this draft, but this is one system which could preserve the benefit of staggering the 1st place picks but still using a snake. Posting in reference to a future league idea, not in any way a criticism of the current one.
With a spreadsheet and a list sorted both ways, this staggers the pattern down two each two rounds. In theory, it could be remixed but unsure a remix would improve equalizing.
