Rather than a 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-ETC-type draft, it goes 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-ETC.

Intent is to spread the talent more evenly.

so this would help me since i'm the 28th (out of 30) to draft. right?

Serpentine is good once you've established your outstanding team. Of course, if you start in 2002 with Tampa Bay, straight-draft is the way to go. 63 wins is better than 60 though...right? Baby steps

hehe... you have got to start somewhere. As far as worrying about the serpentine draft helping you, why don't you just make a custom draft order and give yourself the #1 pick?

THe only time I would use a serpentine draft is to start a league.
