Can I set-up Keepers?

  • Yes. Use the "Add to Rosters" feature to add Keepers to owners rosters.
  • See FAQ section on Keepers for more details.

Can I use the software for an Auction style league?

  • Yes. Change Draft Style to Auction in the Settings tab.

How does the draft board change for Auction style drafts?

  • The Context Menu (left click on player name) replaces "Draft Player" with "Auction Player for".
  • Selecting "Auction Player for" brings up a list of owners and a Bid textbox to select the winning owner and enter the winning bid.
  • The Draft Grid at the top of the screen is hidden for Auction style drafts.

Does your software help me as a commissioner of my league?

  • Yes. In fact, our software was initially designed for commissioners!
  • Draft software is great for commissioners as it does a lot of the work for you and enables you to focus on building your winning team.
  • Simply enter all owners names in draft order in the Draft Settings and you are good to go as all picks made during the draft will be automatically matched with the owner that is “on the clock”. You can set-up your draft using a serpentine/snack style draft (order is reversed in odd rounds), straight style draft, auction style draft or custom style draft. You can also easily trade draft positions between owners throughout the draft.
  • The trick for commissioners is to be able to track everyone’s draft picks very quickly and easily so you still have time to think about your own draft picks. You also want to be able to make draft day trades between owners or delete picks if a mistake is made. Our software provides all of this capability and much more right at your fingertips. The Player Search bar makes it especially easy to find unknown players or you can simply Write-in players that aren't included in the draft board if needed.

Can I complete multiple Mock (practice) drafts using the Draft Analyzer?

  • Yes. The Draft Analyzer provides you with an unlimited number of mock drafts using the full functionality of the software.
  • An Auto-Draft feature will be available for the Draft Analyzer by 8/5/2009. This feature will automatically draft players for other teams as you go through your mock draft.  Until the Auto-Draft feature is available,  you will need to manually enter draft  picks for other teams during a mock draft.
