IMO thats pretty unfair, as HD is going to have much better odds than proto of making a good team.
But hey Girly you have a lot of experience running these things, so I should just trust the expert.

No snake this time. It was requested by a few of the participants in the workshop thread, and not opposed by anyone.
I don't see how it gives anyone any real advantage. It's not like a hockey pool where the 22nd player chosen is almost always going to have better stats than the 42nd player chosen.
This sort of draft has no stats. It's all about building the best overall team in whichever way you choose to do it. Some will choose to go after the best possible choice at the moment, which could leave them some weak choices to fill out categories later. Others will choose to fill out difficult categories early, thinking that they'd rather have the 21st best sitcom and the best game show than the other way around.
I say this as one of the people who would have the most to gain by going with the snake style. Personally, I don't mind at all. Even choosing 20th, I'll be able to make a first pick in a category, if I so choose. Over the course of the draft, everyone will make one of the first five picks in a few of the categories; everyone will make one of the last five picks in a few of the categories; and everyone will make some middle-of-the-road picks in the rest of the categories.
Looking at the movie draft, I don't think my team would be significantly different had it been a straight draft rather than a snake.
