auto draft question

PostTue Feb 28, 2023 10:08 pm

Hello,

If two teams have the same guy at the top of their draft list, how is it determined who gets him?

random or order in which you joined the league?

Random.

How the Auto List Draft works

The Auto List Draft uses the following logic to draft the teams:
If a player was selected by only one team, that team gets him.
If a player was selected by more than one team:
The team that ranked that player highest gets him.
If more than one team tied for ranking that player the highest:
That player is randomly awarded to one of those teams that ranked him the same.
For each team that lost out on a player:
The team receives the next highest-priced available player that is not on another team's draft card and has the same primary position of the original player that the team lost out on. The player received cannot exceed the original player's salary unless no other players remain at or below the original player's salary.

The draft order is randomized so whoever got luckier and picked first.

So if:
The team receives the next highest-priced available player that is not on another team's draft card and has the same primary position of the original player that the team lost out on. The player received cannot exceed the original player's salary unless no other players remain at or below the original player's salary.

ok then is it possible that I could end up with a player that wasn't on my draft card but was on someone else's?
