Snake Draft Rules

Preparation

During the ESPN Snake Draft, if owners encounter power/cable loss, Internet issues, computer problems or issues with the draft, there will not be a redraft unless ESPN says that the site has crashed or has major site-wide issues that effect everyone.

Technical issues are beyond the league's control, so please prepare before the draft by editing your Pre-Draft Player Rankings and Auto Pick Strategy.

Also, it is recommended to do Mock Drafts before doing the real draft. This familiarizes owners with their equipment in relation to the ESPN site and interface. Mock Drafts also provide an advantage over other players.

Mock Drafts, Pre-Draft Player Rankings, and your Auto Pick Strategy are available on your ESPN team page.
