These options are only available if your league has defined an online draft in General League Setup.
NOTE: Deluxe leagues will separate the draft by division or conference based on the General League Setup 'Each player can be on xx rosters per...' setting.
Round 1 Draft Order - Using the pull-down boxes, define the order for the first round of your draft.
Draft Rounds - Specify the number of rounds for your draft. This number will default to the number of players on your roster as defined in General League Setup.
Draft Type - Complete your draft order by selecting one of the following options:
S-draft. Also known as a serpentine draft, an S-draft uses the round 1 (as defined above) order and copies it to all subsequent odd-numbered rounds. It then reverse this order and copies this reversed order to all even-numbered rounds.
Random S-draft. The first round of the draft is randomly selected, and each successive round of the draft is the opposite order of the prior round (an S-draft).
Random. Choose this option if you want your entire draft order to be random. This selection will override the above Round 1 Draft Order settings.
Random/Reverse. In this selection all odd rounds of the draft are randomly picked, all even rounds are the opposite of the previous round.
Round 1 Copy. This last choice copies the defined Round 1 Draft Order settings to all subsequent rounds in your draft.
3rd round reversal serpentine. The first round of the draft is used from the pre-defined order above, and then subsequent rounds are set up like this: Round 2 - reverse of round 1. Round 3 - same as round 2. Round 4 - reverse of round 3. Round 5 and beyond - reverse of the previous round. In other words, starting with round 3, all rounds of the draft are reversed from a standard serpentine draft.
Random 3rd round reversal serpentine. The same as above, except the first round of the draft is randomly selected by the system.
You can also use our FFLM setup utility to define your draft (order and - if desired - picks) and upload the results. While it is a bit more work to download and install the utility, the draft configuration has more items to help make the draft order creation easier.
Send Email To Owners Regarding How Draft Order Was Generated? - This option defaults to "No", but if the "Yes" option is selected, owners will get email notification of the draft order being generated, and if one of thee "random" options was selected above, the email will include a note about the draft order being randomly generated by the system, ensuring no commissioner bias when generating the draft order.
When finished, you MUST click on the Set Draft Order button to apply your changes.
