Draft order is determined by using CBSsports random order generator.
Supplemental drafts beginning in year two are non-serpentine (1-14, 1-14, 1-14, etc.).

EXTENDED LEAGUE DRAFTS: Unless a league is clearly marked "Extended League Draft" it can be assumed that it is "all in one day." Beginning in 2010, FSRU will begin rolling out extended league snake drafts in fantasy basketball. Each team owner will have 12 hours to make a pick. The clock will be on 24 hours per day. The draft robot will automatically make a pick for an owner who does not submit a pick before the time limit expires. If an owner is not going to be available to make a pick, it is recommended he queue his player choices and turn on auto draft so as to not hold up his choice till the 12 hour clock runs out. In the unlikely event that this leagues draft is not on target for completion by season start, the commissioner reserves the right to decrease the 12 hour clock time between picks to ensure draft completion in a timely manner.

AUCTION DRAFT: In our auction leagues, each team will begin with $160 to fill their complete 16 player rosters. Bids will be taken in $1 increments.
In the following years, you can keep as many as you wish on your roster at an annual player salary increase of $3.
Free agents picked up during the season will be issued last team in standings to first team weekly.
Free agent pickups will receive a starting salary of $4.
An auction of all non-keepers will be done yearly to fill out team rosters and new salaries assigned to the players acquired.
These drafts are done utilizing CBSsportsline.com top of the industry auction software.
This is the closest thing to an in-person auction draft. Your gonna love it!!!

KEEPER LEAGUE REDRAFT: After 5 years a keeper league will completely redraft. Redrafts will be serpentine (1-14, 14-1, 1-14, etc).
There will be no keepers in a redraft year as all players are available. Random draft order will be utilized in redraft years.
Each established leagues, the redraft year is listed on the League Winners page.
