^ We do an autodraft, because the odds of all 20 people in one division being at their computers at the same time for a REAL draft are slim to none.
If you don't know how autodrafts work, Yahoo! ranks all the players in the league, but YOU have the option of ranking players how you choose before the autodraft takes place. For example, if your favorite players are Kidd, Kobe, and Ginobili (in that order), then you have the option of placing Kidd #1 on your list, Kobe #2, and Manu #3.
If you want to just leave it like that and stop with those 3 players, then that's fine. But if you want to go through and rank more players, then that's fine, too. If you want to rank EVERY player in the league according to how you like/dislike them, then knock yourself out.
-OR-
Just do nothing, and don't rank anyone.
So at this point, you have three options BEFORE the autodraft happens: #1- rank your top players, and leave the rest of the league unranked; #2- rank every person in the league, beginning with placing your #1 player at #1, and ending with... your very least favorite player in the entire league; #3- do nothing. Don't rank anyone.
Now... when the autodraft comes up, everyone is given a RANDOM order in the draft.
Once the draft order is set, let's say you end up 4th.
The highest ranked available player will be given to you if you didn't do a predraft ranking. If you DID do a predraft ranking, then YOUR highest ranked available player will be given to you.
