Hopefully we'll get enough to play.
I'll add a prize. A pipe and tobacco (my choice) for the league winner with myself being exempt.

Pardons if you already know this but I'll explain:

A Snake auction means that you pick players in a round-robin so that everyone can get quality players. It's much like the way that the NFL draft is conducted with the exception that the picking order 'snakes' as I'll illustrate (for an 8 team league). This continues for all of the rounds of the draft. You don't need to know a lot about players and football because the software guides you through the draft.

Round 1, pick 1 next pick in round 2, pick 16
Round 1, pick 2 next pick in round 2, pick 15
Round 1, pick 3 next pick in round 2, pick 14
Round 1, pick 4 next pick in round 2, pick 13
Round 1, pick 5 next pick in round 2, pick 12
Round 1, pick 6 next pick in round 2, pick 11
Round 1, pick 7 next pick in round 2, pick 10
Round 1, pick 8 next pick in round 2, pick 9

in successive rounds of the draft the order flips. It's a very fair way of selecting.

Unlike a Baseball league, Football leagues take as little as a few minutes a week to manage before the games are played. Of course you could sweat the details if you like and obsess over it if that's your preference .

Perfect! The Kinks, You Really Got Me, just came on!
