My e-mail

Thank you for signing up to participate in an NFBC 'Classic Style' mock draft.

Please read the details below about your draft time:

Draft ID: #75

Date: March 5

Time: 3:00 PM CT

It is now 3:01 CT.

I can't find any link to enter the draft.

All I see is a link to create default list. John,

Go to the "My Mock Draft Teams" tab. [/QUOTE]I haver done this dozens of times.

All i see is a link to create pre-draft rankings

Same here, for my 3 pm mock. It won't let me into the draft room.

It says 11 of 15 participating. Will they start it it with a less than full draft?

I had to refresh "My Mock page" finally see the leagues I signed up for.

After I signed up, all I got what was what I described above.

i do have to admit that i'm not really looking in depth at the drafting software as i have no need to use it until NEXT January - March.

I also had to hit refresh to see my upcoming drafts.

No go, Geoff.

I've refreshed, it won't let me in, I'll set up another mock for later.

I am in a draft now and my list won't load

One more thing that can be fixed-

The clock in the mock lobby gives eastern time. The drafts are set up in Central time.

Be it, central or eastern, they should be uniform.

Be it, central or eastern, they should be uniform. Very minor - But why not EST. Nothing against Central but isn't EST the norm? I've never seen anything set up nationally for CST.

On the priority list probably near the bottom.

How do you know what pick you have before the draft starts?

John them are the team names not draft slots [/QUOTE]So why is the team name different than the draft slot? :rolleyes:

Why is "team 1" picking 6th in Rd 11?

The pull down needs to be at the top.

My pre picks look fine----until I'm in a draft and then they won't come up.

What do I Do?

There's an issue here that is being worked on. This is currently our highest priority, so hopefully it will be fixed soon.

I wonder if Fanball programmers work on weekends or are they going to drop everything, leave it as is, and come back monday morning...

I hope they can earn overtime once the FAAB system comes out

A few updates....

Drafts are now listed in the order of starting soonest to latest.

The time issues are being resolved. I believe it will still be based off of Central time, but you will know that

Drafter name is going to be removed from all pages -- only team name will show.

Rankings auto-save when you move a player from the default list to your rankings list. When you move someone up or down, you'll have to manually save it when that player reaches his final destination.

On a similar note -- a drag and drop option is in the works for rankings, as well.

A lot of the suggested features will be implemented, as well ... stay tuned. Update No. 2....

Drafter name no longer shows. Just team name.

Any you now have the ability to choose which spot you'll be drafting from. There is a drop down box at the bottom of the link to join a draft.

you know people will be looking for software glitches and vulnerabilities when it comes to FAAB. i wonder if there will be a way to see other owners bids prior to the FAAB deadline

Geoff,

I was reading the rules under the Tab in the draft software. I noticed this:

Smoking/Drinking: Smoking will not be allowed in the Draft Room. There will be a cash bar available in the Draft Room, but we ask that each participant drink responsibly.

My question is where is the cash bar located in the draft room?

My question is where is the cash bar located in the draft room? I emptied it last night trying to keep up with all of the responses -- sorry.
