Turn draft order into game night.

Why use games for your basketball draft order?

Draft position matters, but a plain randomiser is over in seconds. A short OrderUp competition gives your league a shared event before draft night and lets every manager influence the outcome.

It works with head-to-head, roto, points and category leagues because OrderUp only decides the order; you still run the actual fantasy draft on your preferred platform.

A balanced five-game format

• One reaction or speed game.
• One memory or pattern game.
• One precision or timing game.
• One arcade challenge.
• One commissioner wildcard.

Using different game types reduces the chance that one specialist dominates every round.

Run it live or asynchronously

A live competition works well before the draft or during a league catch-up. If schedules do not align, set a play window and let everyone complete their attempts independently. The commissioner can monitor progress, reset a genuine failed attempt and reveal the final order when the league is ready.

Ranked picks versus choosing a slot

For a traditional result, convert first place directly to pick one. For more strategy, let first place choose any draft slot. Some managers prefer the turn in a snake draft, so choosing a position can make winning even more valuable.
