Well it kind of defeats the purpose of the games if people are consistently getting the bans/picks wrong.
The main point was to give people a Draft where they had to really think about both Teams' Picks and Bans, trying to figure out the best eventual Strategy that blocks the other Team. Since the other Players don't tell you why they Picked/Banned their Heroes, it's supposed to get you to analyse the Draft...knowing how Drafting works is an advantage though 8{3
Also, since Players can theoretically make "Troll" Picks like Sniper or Spirit Breaker, it forces the more experienced members to think about how to utilize Heroes they usually wouldn't touch with a 20 foot Barge Pole.
Just for the record, the Bans Pick Phase goes like this (when Radiant gets 1st Ban it's reversed obviously):-
1st Ban Phase - Dire 1st Ban, Radiant 1st Ban, Dire 2nd Ban, Radiant 2nd Ban
1st Pick Phase - Dire 1st Pick, Radiant 1st Pick,Radiant 2nd Pick, Dire 2nd Pick
2nd Ban Phase - Dire 3rd Ban, Radiant 3rd Ban, Dire 4th Ban, Radiant 4th Ban
2nd Pick Phase - Radiant 3rd Pick, Dire 3rd Pick, Radiant 4th Pick, Dire 4th Pick
Final Phase - Radiant Final Ban, Dire Final Ban, Radiant Final Pick, Dire Final Pick

I understand the purpose of the game, what I was saying was in reference to the people who weren't keeping up with the bans/picks/posts before theirs, therefore messing up the order of the game.
