Draft (activity)

From Brickwiki

In the LEGO context Drafting refers to a process, carried out by at least two people, for equitably dividing up the parts from one or more sets or collections so that all participants feel that they got parts with a value proportional to what they put in. It is often carried out at club meetings as a fun activity since the interaction among participants can often be quite amusing.

Process

There are many variants in the process, see the links below, but the basic steps are as follows (order can be changed to suit)

Obtain sets or a collection and know what the value is
Identify the number of participants (or number of shares, in some variants a participant can buy more than one share if desired)
Part out or sort the sets or collection to identify what parts are in it and how many
Draw lots or determine order of selection in some manner
Determine parts to be taken per lot
in selection order, each participant takes the number of parts to be taken
Repeat until all parts are taken

Variants often seen are:

every second selection pass is in the opposite order
participants can mutually decide at the end of a pass to increase the number of parts per selection (as the parts are taken, lower and lower value parts remain)
