League Manager leagues are private/invite only.
- Standard Leagues: Standard ESPN rules.
- Draft Type: Salary Cap, Live Online "Snake" Draft, or Autopick Draft.
-
Draft Date: Select from the available dates in the pull-down menu or the calendar function.
-
Draft Time: Select from the available time slots (hour/minute). If a particular time slot is not available, all the slots at that time are taken. However, if a league changes their time or is deleted, time slots may open up.
*Make sure all your settings are entered correctly because after they are submitted they can only be changed with a league vote (via the League Referenda).
