In the Live Online Snake Draft, each team's manager drafts unique players via a back-and-forth, round-by-round draft order (i.e., 1-10, 10-1, 1-10, 10-1, etc.) until all roster slots are full.
Like any prospective team manager, you want to assemble the best possible roster of players, so it's smart to be prepared before you set out.
The following information will brief you on the ins-and-outs of how the Snake Draft works:
Editing Draft Lists
- We highly recommend that all live draft participants customize their draft list before the actual draft. This protects you in case you are unable to participate in your live draft.
- The Player list can be reordered using our Pre-Rank tool. You can also determine which position to draft each round with the Draft Strategy tool. Both are available on your preseason "My Team" page.
- PRO-TIP: Make sure you SAVE your changes before you leave!
- NOTE: You can edit your draft list as often as you like until one hour before your scheduled draft time
- Your list(s) will be used as your default rankings if you are disconnected for any reason during the draft. The links for editing your draft lists are available in two places:
- On your preseason League Office page in the "Draft Info" box
- On your main team page
Entering Your Live Online Draft
- You can enter your live draft as early as one hour before the scheduled start time
- Links to enter the draft are available on your "League Office" and "My Team" pages
- Please keep in mind that all leagues MUST be full in order for a draft to begin. If a league is not full, it will NOT convert into draft mode, and the draft time will be rescheduled
- IMPORTANT: League Managers, make sure that all of your league's team managers have joined the league at least one hour before your draft! If not, then you will have to select a new Draft Date/Time.
