FAQ
Serpentine vs. fixed order?
Serpentine (also called snake) flips the order each round. Pick last in round 1 and you pick first in round 2. Nobody holds the best spot all draft.
Fixed keeps the same order every round. Whoever has pick 1 gets first dibs every time, and that's a big edge. Only choose it if your league really drafts this way.

What is 3rd round reversal?
It's a twist on serpentine. Round 3 goes the same direction as round 2, then the snake picks back up in round 4.
Even in a snake draft, the first pick has the edge. Landing the best player usually outweighs what the last team gets back at the turn. Reversing round 3 too gives the back of the order another early pick, which evens things out.
