i would prefer a snake from start to the end. the lowest ranked tean is already getting the 1st overall. then he bumps back to back on the 2nd and 3rd rd. i believe your punishing the higher teams because the owners are playing smart all year and not rolling over.
1st pick in a snake draft would get the #1, #24, and #25
12th pick in a snake draft would get #12, #13, and then #36
In a non snake draft -
1st pick would get #1, #13 and #25
12th pick would get #12, #24, and #36
IMO A snake draft ensures that it is a competitive league regardless of where you are picking - There is a price to pay for having the #1 pick and having to wait for the 2nd and 3rd is that price, I would not want to be picking 12 in your draft - b/c it looks tough to field a good team that way - Again IMO -
DO what you want - Having a competitive league is what it is all about -

In my leagues I have made all keeper leagues non-snaking for the first three rounds as I feel this benefits the lowest ranked teams.
However I have noticed that nobody else seems to do this.
What are you thoughts?

you think that picking first and then waiting until every else has picked twice is an advantage?

nick is right. i snake after the first three rounds as well.

Assuming a league of 12:
1st pick in a snake draft would get the #1, #24, and #25
12th pick in a snake draft would get #12, #13, and then #36
In a non snake draft -
1st pick would get #1, #13 and #25
12th pick would get #12, #24, and #36
