Draft Order Wheel

You are at the table before the fantasy draft. Open this draft order wheel and spin once. The name that lands fills the next open slot, then that name comes off the wheel.

Spin one manager into the next slot

This draft order wheel puts one nickname in the next open slot. Say the name and write it down. The other names stay on the wheel for the next spin. More game wheels are on the gaming spin wheel.

Only managers who are in the draft stay on the list. A name that is not playing stays off. A late join is typed in before the next spin, or written at the end of the order.

Each spin of the names still on this list uses crypto.getRandomValues in the browser, so every slice with equal weight has the same chance.

Fill the next draft slot

Read the landed nickname out loud and write it in the next open slot. Take that name off the wheel before the next spin. After every manager who is in has a slot, write the snake chart on paper. Slot 1 picks first in round 1 and last in round 2. This wheel does not print that chart.

Spin the draft order wheel

1. Agree the league list. Only managers who are in the draft stay on it. For a one-pass mix of every name, use the shuffle list. On this wheel, one spin fills one open slot.

2. Spin once. The name that lands fills the next open slot. That spin is the draft order generator for this one slot. Spin again when the next slot is open.

3. Write the name down. Remove that name from the wheel before the next spin.

4. Repeat for the open slots. Continue until every manager still on the list has a slot.

5. Write the snake chart on paper. Do this after the order exists. Slot 1 picks first in round 1 and last in round 2. This wheel does not print the chart.

When the league list changes

Full order

Keep spinning until every manager who is in has one slot. Each landed name comes off before the next spin.

Absent manager

A manager who is not playing stays off the list before the first spin. That name is not in the draw.

Late join

Type the new name in before the next spin, or write it at the end of the order. Do not drop it onto a slot that is already filled.
