Thanks for the advice bkeat. Something I'll try, but first I'll have to work up the courage to hope, pray, and sacrifice to the SOM gods that they might be there. :)
Not sure if your #1 question has been answered yet. There is no draft order. Everyone gets whomever they list #1 unless there is a tie. In the event two or more people list the same player there is a "virtual coin flip" to determine who gets the player. Winner gets him. Loser gets the next most expensive player at that position who was not listed anywhere on anyone's draft card. Same thing happens for every other round.
To give you an example of what can happen concerning disparity, in the last week one team managed 7 of 25, another 21 of 25. The challenge of not getting who you want is one of the aspects of this game that I enjoy. :?
