what does that mean? will the order change from round to round?
otherwise there is still the advantage to those higher up the picking order, especially since some positions are more important than others - all sounds a bit complicated to me for no good reason.
The way I understood it (or now an alternative if I'm wrong!) was everyone submits a list to an independent party and there are no 'rounds', just an order of who gets priority, like this:
Team A, 1st draft, order of preference:
1. Shearer
2. Ronaldo
3. Henry
4. Cantona
5. etc.
Team B, 2nd draft, order:
1. Shearer
2. Ronaldo
3. Cantona
4. Henry
Team C, 3rd, order:
1. Schmeichel
2. Shearer
3. Ronaldo
4. Eboue
Team D, 4th, order:
1. Shearer
2. Ronaldo
3. Schmeichel
4. Cantona
So starting out, they've got:
Team A: Shearer (his first choice)
Team B: Ronaldo (because Shearer went)
Team C: Schmeichel (his first choice)
Team D: Cantona (because all his first three had gone)
Assuming only four teams were involved, Team A would also bag Henry and assuming Eboue was low down on Team B's list, Team C could capitalise and take him.
Basically all the lists (which would have to be quite big) are submitted and the squads are worked from there.
I might have completely misread the situation though.
