Add Third Round Reversal Option
Please add Third-Round Reversal (3RR) as a native draft-order option for Yahoo Fantasy Basketball.
Our long-running 12-team H2H league uses 3RR every season because it helps reduce the advantage created by the very top picks in snake drafts. Yahoo technically allows us to create it by manually customizing the draft order, but having to rearrange every pick/round manually is unnecessarily cumbersome.
Ideally, under Draft Settings → Round Rotation Type, commissioners would have:
• Snake
• Non-Snake
• Third-Round Reversal
For 3RR, Yahoo would simply run Round 1 normally, reverse for Round 2, keep the Round 2 order for Round 3, and then snake normally from there.
Other serious fantasy platforms increasingly support more draft customization, and this seems like a relatively straightforward commissioner feature that would meaningfully improve Yahoo for competitive leagues.
We’ve been manually implementing 3RR for years. Please make it native.
