We have 3 $150 Slow Draft Leagues and 1 $375 Slow Draft League that will start drafting tomorrow at Noon ET. Tom is loading all of those leagues now and he will send out an invitation email to all 60 of you owners once those leagues are set up. Everyone is signed up with payment info in the system, ready to rock 'n roll. Thanks everyone.
Once these leagues are set up, you should be able to go into the Draft Room. Again, click on your team link and in the top middle of that first page is a link that says Draft Room: It's draft time! - Head to the draft room. Click on the hyperlink "Head to the draft room" and you'll see draft versions: Flash and HTML. If you have Flash on your computer, use the Flash link. Once you click there, you'll go right into the draft room. It looks exactly like last year's as we're making enhancements while these early Slow Drafts take place.
Here's some items of note:
1. The Draft Board is located under Roster, Draft Board. Just click there and the Draft Board will pop up and load with colored stickers after every pick.
2. There are TWO Draft Player buttons. Please note that. One is under the Que and SHOULD ONLY BE USED IF YOU WANT TO DRAFT PLAYERS IN YOUR QUE!! I can't say that loud enough. The Draft Player button above the player default list is just for drafting the player you highlight in the player default list.
3. To draft, just highlight the player you want. His name and stats will appear in the Player Info area. Then click Draft Player button there and you'll get that player.
4. The Que allows you to place players aside that you may want to draft. If you leave it on auto-pick and you time out, it will pick the top player from your Que. If you're Team 15 and have it on auto-pick, it will pick your next 2 players in your Que. We will add a One Round Que this off-season and we certainly understand how this is needed and will speed up Slow Drafts. We just don't have it available now.
5. This year you have 8 hours per pick instead of 10. Plan accordingly.
If you have any other questions, post them here or email me at [email protected]. Position eligibility in the draft room should match our game format. If you see any player with questionable eligibility, let me know and we'll look into it. Thanks. The software has been tested and we feel we're ready to go. Thanks all and let's start drafting tomorrow. Good luck.
