More fun - snakes or auctions?

More difficult - snakes or auctions?

Differences in drafting with a partner in snake v auction drafts

Stars and scrubs v. Spread the wealth

Is one approach better or is it more personal preference?

Is answer same every season or does it vary by season?

Own performance in auctions

Mistakes made in past; areas where we focused on being better in recent years

Remaining areas of improvement to work on for next season

Snake Draft vs Auction Draft Draft Prep

differentiation between the two

Valuations vs Rankings

AAV vs ADP

The order of the drafts at live events

can/should you do multiple auctions in one day

Start or finish with an auction to get your guys?

Snake Draft vs Auction Draft In Season Management

Ie: -what determines the length of holding a $6 player vs a $2-3 player? (e.g., Oscar Colas or Oscar Gonzales)

Quantifying the cost it took to draft a player in snake draft and should that inform your add/drop decisions?

Ie: rationalizing dropping a $1-$2 player vs an 18th rounder and does it matter?
