21. Checkers and Chess

As much as I love a draft, it's nothing compared to an Auction. In an Auction, everyone gets a shot at David Johnson. It's a much fairer way to distribute players, its more fun, and it's even a better test of skill. It's chess compared to checkers. Try it once.

Still one spot open in The Auction League, kids. For all the dudes that talk about how great they are at fantasy when all they've done is followed rankings and mocks in snake drafts, it's time to put your skills to a real test.

I've been pushing for an auction for 5 years now in all of my leagues and no one will do it

Auction is so much better. You get the players you want. In snake, your entire team is determined by your draft slot.

We do our 12 team auction draft live. It's around the table format. It normally takes us about 5 to 6 hours mainly because there is too much fireball involved

I've only done it for baseball, not football, but live auction drafts take for fricking ever.

Everything goes a lot faster online, with enforced time limits, etc.

That said, it's way more challenging and fun than a regular snake draft.
