FISO Test Draft

[Mav3rick]

So I've setup a draft league for 8 players, the draft is set for Saturday at 8pm UK time, but if we get 8 managers tonight I can make the draft tonight if everyone wants to do that.

I'll delete the league after the draft, so this is just a practice one to get used to the controls and the system (and to see if we can actually delete the draft ). The league code is

2669-1136

As and when the league is full, then I'll let someone else setup another league for any other practice drafts.

Joined. Are the players in the watchlist picked automatically (if available) if you're not online at the time of the draft?

[Mav3rick]

I think that's the idea yeah, but then I suppose that's why we're having a test

6 more needed.

[Talkie Toaster]

I'm in. Thanks for setting this up.

[Mav3rick]

It looks like I can change the details of the league, such as allowed pick time and number of teams. I've set it to 8 teams and 90 seconds for now, you can go as low as 30 seconds though.

If we get one or two more, do you guys wanna do the draft tonight?

I'm ready to give it a test drive tonight if a few others are.

How many teams can I draft in my 'hub'

[Mav3rick]

League is half empty (I'm a pessimist by nature). 4 places left...

I think you just create (or join) a new league each time, so presumably your hub will update with more leagues as you do so? Try it, create a league and I'll join it (you can delete it after).

In fact, yes, that's what happens on the Hub:

I'm up for that.

[Mav3rick]

We've got 5 teams now so I reckon we're close to running the draft tonight anyway, it is only playing about...

[Mav3rick]

Ok, we made 8 so I'll set the draft time for 22:30 tonight? Unless anyone objects?

Awesome, 1 minute to go there's one spot open if anyone is lurking, but it will start with the 9 we have.

[Mav3rick]

90 seconds is a long time for each pick in these early rounds I guess.

[robot]

Time stops once you go though so about right i think.

[Mav3rick]

But you do get a lot of time between picks to tweak your watch list as you go, which is actually very useful. I also like that the watchlist updates by removing drafted picks as others take them.

[Mav3rick]

I left that last one to almost time out just to see what kind of reminders you get. Not that much lol

[flyingkillercob]

Just an observation that those at the end of the snake get 2 picks close together, then a long wait, while those in the middle get about the same time between each pick. Could be useful info if you need the loo!

Also, can you leave the league up for at least an hour or so, Maverick, so we can take screenshots of teams and see just how good/bad they are?

[Mav3rick]

Yeah of course, we can talk about the draft for a while after too.
