For N teams and initial position p, an odd round r gives overall pick (r − 1) × N + p. An even round gives (r − 1) × N + (N + 1 − p).

In a 10-team draft, position 3 has overall picks 3, 18, and 23 across three rounds. The generator restarts its displayed numbering within each round, so its round-two label 8 corresponds to overall pick 18. Keep round labels when sharing results. The formula assumes an ordinary snake draft without traded picks, keeper changes, or additional reversal rules.

The example has 10 retained entries. The first-round list is shuffled once. Snake rounds alternate that list and its reverse; standard rounds repeat it. The generator supports 1–30 rounds and up to 10,000 picks. It does not trade selections, enforce keeper costs, calculate player values, or update a league platform. The numbered entries within each round are within-round positions, not overall pick numbers.
