Perfect Draft simplified format suggestion

I'd like to see a perfect draft format that is friendlier to new players. It's probably suitable only for quick tournaments because it is easier to play.

My idea is a pick-12 where in each round you are guaranteed 1 of every fielding position, 2 SP, 1 RP and a 12th card from any position. No need to track "positions seen" and no need to worry about a missing backup somewhere.

I think this might become very popular if it were implemented.

At least the last screen should have one of everything so you can be sure to have a backup at every position.

This is good, too. ANYTHING, to get rid of "positions seen" crap. Who cares how many positions I have seen? I want to know in the 12th round with less than a minute on my clock, HOW MANY I HAVE LEFT. And for the love of God, can we combine RP and CL into 1 number? Who cares how the card is labelled when they are functionally equivalent?
