    "Rounds" - and when you pick your kicker or defense - are not relevant in an auction.

    If you were still fixated with "rounds," then yes - you should probably stick to the inferior snake-style drafts you're accustomed to.

    Instead of being a dick, explain to this neophyte why people do it.
    And of course there are rounds...I went first, then someone else named a player...etc. Then it started over.
    Again, try not to be an ass, might be hard, I know.

    It is hard to not be an ass :)

    1. Yes, there are "rounds" but it doesn't matter if you spend $1 on your kicker in the first "round" or $1 on your kicker in the last "round".

    2. I love calling out a kicker or a defense in the early rounds, because I want people to outbid my $1, and thus have less money to spend on actual players. If I get stuck with a $1 kicker and defense .... OK.

    3. When I do auctions, I almost never, ever call out players I actually want to draft. When I do baseball auctions, I'll sit and call catchers - eventually getting stuck with a $1 player - because I'm really, really happy to see people spend money on a shitty catcher.

    But yes - rounds don't matter .... until the end, when you've got a couple folks flushing out their rosters with their $1 max bids.

    Worked on a story, informed the winners of a contest I ran, drank coffee, replayed Phish's Esther 10 times because it's so goddamn good -- maybe their best song -- and learned I'm going to see Mike Tyson in 2 days.

    My brother in law has a similar story. His dog got into the trash where there was a used condom. They were sitting around a fire pit in the backyard several days later and someone noticed something sticking out of his dog's butt, so he went to check it out, and, yep. He pulled a used condom out of his dog's ass.

    Next time I saw him I casually mentioned, "So, I heard someone f-ed your dog?"

    Reminds me of those jokes with the talking animals.

    "The dog is a damn liar!"

    Is that the one where the dog rides the train home from college?

    Hmm. I goofed up. I was thinking of talking sheep that lie about the farmer.

    What's the college dog joke?

    There's lots of versions, but I'm going to let the guy I heard it from tell it.
