Anyone have any ideas on how to create an "Auto Draft"? Maybe based from a player_rank table where the draft order is either selected or randomized and the first team would get player_rank 1, second team would get player_rank 2 and so on?
I'd be interesting in helping out with this if anyone is interested in helping me create this, I have some ideas, just not really sure how to piece it all together. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I don't have a screen shot of yahoo's but I know how it works:
I believe that Yahoo either has an online manual draft or a random draft. It randomly picks the order of the teams to pick. then it gives a date of when the draft will be held. Each player has the opurtunity of giving the players a rank (there is a pre-draft rank already set by yahoo that a player would change). Then on draft day, team 1 would get the first player on thier list, or if they didn't modify it, the player ranked #1. Team 2 would get player 1 if not chosen from their list or player 2 if they didn't modify the list and so on ....

The Auto Draft sounds like a pretty cool feature, but I won't have time to develop it. I'm setting my sights on developing a better auction module later this year. In addition, I also want to find a way to archive franchises that leave the league. It would be nice to have a hall of fame page showing who the coaches are with the highest winning percentage and so forth.
If you have the time to work on the Auto Draft, give it a shot. I'm sure there will be people that would love to see it. I conduct my drafts live, and everyone is in attendance, so I'm not all that interested in developing this feature.

I've heard of this feature through yahoo's leagues, but I've never seen it in action. Does anyone have any screenshots of what this might look like?
