So we draw out of a hat but pick one then decides where they will pick in draft 1-12. Pick 2 then can choose any spot left etc. pick 12 gets last spot available.

I also try to come up with creative ways and we’ve done these:

The best/most desirable draft numbers (1,2, 13,14, etc..) are in the SMALLER circles and are drawn in the more difficult areas of the board.

Then you get a football and put CHALK on the tip of it- THen you take turns throwing the football (from across the pool or yard about 20ft away) and have to hit your draft number with the football. This turned out excellent and is very exciting.

Another one we’ve done is like beer pong. Get 14 cups and place in a beer pong triangle formation on the table.

-Have a “Legend” that list/pictures the numbers (1-14 draft spots) on a separate sheet of paper and you put the cups (with 1 shot of liquor in each cup) where the draft numbers go.

Then you have to make the ping pong ball into the cup with the draft number that you want (place the more desirable numbers in the harder spots to hit It doesn’t even need to be a neat triangle – You can have the most desirable numbers in random/far out corners of the table). Worked great and everyone loves beer pong.

The last couple years I have been setting the draft order based off of a NASCAR race. We are drafting on Labor Day Monday and normally the Bojangles 500 is that Sunday. You take the top 10 drivers in the standings and randomly assign them to teams however you wanna do that. How they finish during the race determines your draft order.

Trevor, you’re a genius! I’m giving this “shooting blanks” game a try. Thanks for posting!

What’s up! I’ve spent lots of time this season AND last season, researching the net searching for a fun RANDOM way to choose a draft order. With my group of friends, it HAS yo be booze oriented! After searching and searching…I’ve found nothing but the some old stuff. I decided to invent my own way, it was a HUGE hit, and I thought I’d share it with you guys. I calk it “Shootin’ Blanks”. Here’s how it works:

Take the number of people in your league and multiply it times 4. We have 10, so our # is 40. So I took 40 small, shot sized, paper cups. On the bottoms of 10 out of the 40, I wrote numbers 1-10. Then placed each cup with a # into a cup without a number. This conceals the number so no one can see it. With the other 20 BLANK cups, I simply doubled them up stacking 1 cup inside another cup. Now I have 20 doubled up cups. 10 have hidden #‘s in them, 10 are " BLANKS". NOW THE FUN BEGINS! Everyone gathers around, picks a doubled up cup at random, fills it with a shot of their choice (I’m a whiskey man myself!) On the count of 3… DOWN IT GOES! Once the shots have been taken, everyone removes the inner cup and looks underneath it to reveal their draft order. Some will have #‘s…some will be "Shootin’ Blanks", and will have to do another round! Its a fun RANDOM, DRUNKEN way to pick your order, and sets the pace for a BLAST OF A DRAFT! You’re Welcome!
