Well, I don't want another team but I'm still not clear on what the draft order is. I thought we moved away from snakestyle and were going with shifting the draft order uno style (i.e. every round you shift up one in the draft order). However, the draft rounds would be set 1, 2,3, 4, etc rather than picked by the first owner in that round.
If that is the draft style, I would think that would address his concern and he'd stay in. I think part of the problem is that in this league, a snakestyle draft really does give a significant advantage to those at the ends of the draft. Seeing as we're only in round 1 and most seemed to favor moving towards an Uno type model anyway, I'm not sure why we couldn't change it.
