    A fair draft order in one click

    Enter the teams or managers, choose how many rounds, and press Generate. The order is drawn with a cryptographically secure random generator and revealed one by one for a bit of suspense. Below it, a pick table shows every pick number for every round.

    Choose the format: snake (the order reverses every round, so the last pick of round 1 gets the first pick of round 2), linear (the same order every round) or third-round reversal (rounds 2 and 3 both run in reverse, then it snakes again – popular in fantasy football). Copy the result into your league chat or print it for draft night.

    Frequently asked questions

    What is a snake draft?

    The order reverses every round: 1-2-3-4 in round 1, 4-3-2-1 in round 2, and so on. It balances the advantage of picking first.

    What is third-round reversal?

    Rounds 2 and 3 both run in reverse order, then the draft snakes as usual. It gives later pickers a little more value.

    Is the order fair?

    Yes. Every possible order is equally likely; it is shuffled with the browser’s secure random generator.
