You are making my head spin, I have no idea what you are saying.

it's like if the two lists were:

Feral
DMT
Heye
Ken
Diablo

and the numbers were
4
1
2
3
5

one way would say
feral = 4
DMT = 1
Heye = 2
Ken = 3
Diablo = 5

That's how I always imagined it... but I don't think it's how johnny does it.

He says...
4th name is first so Ken #1
1st name is second so Feral #2
2nd name is third so DMT #3
3rd name is fourth so Heye #4
5th name is fifth so Diable #5

OK, I'm glad we've established the order for the 1st 5. What about the rest of the list?

I somehow ended up with the 6th, 10th, and 12th picks in the first round... also a compensatory #2 sandwich pick between the first and second round for finishing in the bottom 5 (stunningly an option DMT hadn't come up with yet).

[Bene Futuis]

Step 1: randomize names (A, B, C, D, and E)

E
D
C
A
B

Step 2: randomize numbers (1-5)

4
2
1
3
5

Then you match them up and get:

E - 4
D - 2
C - 1
A - 3
B - 5


So C picks 1st, D is 2nd, A is 3rd and so on.

We also didn't consider a lottery system with ping pong balls.

I need more ping pong balls!

Thats how i thought we did it

right, but I don't think that's how it's actually done...

I think it's
4th name is first so A #1
2nd name is second so D #2
etc...

[The Feral Slasher]

right, but I don't think that's how it's actually done...

We need a poll to decide which way to do it...with a long discussion of which way disadvantages appropriate drafters

[The Feral Slasher]

right, but I don't think that's how it's actually done...

You mean Johhny just makes up an order and lies about the names and numbers, right ?

[DMT]

right, but I don't think that's how it's actually done...

I think it's
4th name is first so A #1
2nd name is second so D #2
etc...

Like I said, two methods. Neither is subjectively better.

ETA: I see johnny uses the other method for VDs but I use this method when I've set draft orders.

[johnnya24]

I just place the 2 lists side by side in excel, copy paste the results across and put them in order.
