Team pick sequence
Draft order styles
The draft order decides which team owns the next selection. It does not sort the player pool.
Cycle same order
Repeats the configured team order every round.
Every round: 1 → 2 → 3 → 4.
Events that intentionally give the same team first choice in every round.Random each round
Builds a shuffled team order for each round.
The shuffle is seeded by round, so regenerating unchanged teams produces the same queue instead of rerolling it.
Events that want round-by-round variety instead of a fixed or reversing sequence.Adaptive by team score
Chooses the eligible team with the lowest current drafted-player spend.
Ties use smaller roster size, then the original team draft order.
Balance-focused drafts where the next team changes as player costs are spent.Adaptive order is live: the next team is recalculated from current drafted-player spend. Its repeat cap stops one team from taking more consecutive choices than configured when another eligible team remains.
Saving Drafting settings or selecting Regenerate draft queue rebuilds unused pick assets. Completed pick assets remain recorded, so settle structural changes before opening the draft whenever possible.
Separate captain setting
Captain player-pool order
This controls how pickable players are presented to captains; it does not change costs or the team queue.
Highest cost first
Shows the pickable pool from highest calculated cost downward.
Shuffle after every pick
Keeps the list stable during the current pick, then changes its order when the next pick begins.
Final checkpoint
Before opening the draft
Confirm every team has the intended captain, the player pool and waitlist are correct, costs are locked, the first several team picks match the chosen style, captain privacy is correct, and a test Discord notification reaches the configured destination.
