Keeper League for Dummies: Season 2 Loaded

Another option instead of the draft being totally random:

The six teams with the lowest salary get randomized for the top 6 spots and the six teams with the highest team salaries get randomized for the bottom six spots.

This would keep anyone from having a clear advantage and yet create different teams for the second half.

I do not like random at all.

My vote (for draft order) is based on records of just finished league from bottom to top. That gives those at the bottom a chance to improve, while randomness or same order does not. It would be almost the same league if we draft the same as Season 1, IMHO. At the very least the same Owners get first dibs again.

I vote for draft order based on prior league standings.

It sounds like people are generally onboard with using Season 1 standings for Season 2 draft order going forward. I'll give a little more time for others to weigh in. (I excluded myself from the voting below)

Eddie E - prior standings or random

Jeepdriver - prior standings
klx22 - prior standings
