Banned deucer.
Following smogon standards, draft leagues ensure the first 5/8 of sign ups make it in.
This rule has been shown to disadvantage most players in europe for this specific format.
I would like to suggest removing this rule specifically for draft leagues.

Generally speaking the smogon draft leagues open past midnight (at 12 gmt +0)
The average time in which the treshold for guaranteed spots is reached has been under 6 hours in the past 3 leagues. The maximum is reached a lot later, ensuring everyone has a chance to sign up.

Even when you are the first to sign up in waking hours living in a gmt +1 timezone you will be randomized. On top, i have been told you get banned if you let someone else login and sign you up on the forums.

The reasoning the rule exists is ensuring bad timezones can still make it.
What it ends up doing instead, is ensuring people with less interest signing up days later can make it over the first people in europe with a healthy sleep schedule.
A first come first serve, or a 4/5 signups rule would be more fair in this instance.
