FAQs: General Use Questions

Do I need to bring a computer to the draft?

  • Depends. If you want to take full advantage of all the powerful features included in the software than you will need to bring a computer to the draft. However, you don’t need to bring a computer if you simply want to use the Cheat Sheets that ranks players based on your scoring system and the advanced player valuation tools included in Dynamic Player Value (DPV). If this is the case, you can simply set-up your projections and DPV settings and print out a paper draft kit to take to your draft.

Do you provide updates to player projections, news and notes/outlooks during the pre-season?

  • Yes. Updates to player projections and news are provided almost daily throughout the pre-season as needed.
  • See Projections for more information

Can I personalize my scoring rules?

  • Yes. See section on personalize scoring rules for more information.

Can I use the Draft Analyzer on multiple computers?

  • Yes, but you can only have your license active on one computer at a time.
  • See section on Activation for more information.

Can I use this software for multiple leagues and/or multiple drafts?

  • Yes. You can set-up and save an unlimited number of leagues and participate in an unlimited number of drafts (mock drafts or real drafts).
  • You can save one draft for each league.
  • You can participate in live drafts at the same time as “extended” drafts that take place over several days/weeks.

Will the Draft Analyzer recommend draft picks for me?

  • Yes. The Draft Analyzer will provide dynamic, personalized and accurate draft pick recommendations throughout your draft.
  • See Using the Draft Board for more information.

Can I set-up Keepers?

  • Yes. On the main set-up dashboard there is a link to “Enter Keepers” under Enter Draft Settings. Players entered as Keepers will be added to the team owners roster but will not take the place of a draft pick.
  • If you want to add players to a team owners roster for a specific draft pick, enter the players as pre-populated draft picks in the section called Customize Draft Order and Pre-populate Draft Picks.

Can I use the software for an Auction style league?

  • Yes. In the Enter Draft Settings step 3, you can select the Auction Style Draft option.

How does the draft board change for Auction style drafts?

  • For Auction style leagues, the Draft Analyzer includes an Auction Dashboard that enables you to:
  • 1. Select Players to be Auctioned
  • 2. Provide winning Team/Owner and winning bid
  • 3. Track budgets for all Team/Owner’s, including:
  • 1. Players purchased
  • 2. Money spent
  • 3. Money remaining

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 add players not included in the program?

  • Yes. There is a “Write-in” feature included in the Player Search bar (upper right of draft board) that makes it fast and easy to add players during the draft. The Draft Analyzer includes over 3,000 players in its database, so it is very rare that a player won’t be included.
  • Note: The players added using the Write-in feature are not saved for other drafts or leagues (they need to be added for each draft as 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.
  • The Draft Analyzer will NOT make draft picks for all the players in the league, but using the Average Draft Position results it is easy to make draft picks for your opponents and test out your different draft strategies.
