Drafting Instructions - New Leagues
Features:
* Draft Report page updated instantly after each pick is made.
* Rosters are updated instantly after each pick is made.
* Each pick made is automatically e-mailed to each team owner in that league.
* The pick notification e-mail also states which team is "on-the-clock".
* The Pre-Draft option works to automatically make your selection when it is your turn.
* NOTE: - **NEW** - You cannot exceed the Roster limit (18 players) during the pre-season draft.
Rules:
You will have 12 hours to make your pick. If no selection is made, the system automatically chooses the best player available.
(The Timer will NOT be on for the 1st round, so that everyone can get used
to the drafting and pre-drafting process.
Note: Once the Timer expires on a team, that team may be put on "autodraft" for the remaining rounds.
Auto Draft: The system will automatically make all picks for that team as soon as they
get on the draft clock. The system will automatically pick a player for the
owner based on the highest-ranked available player according to rankings
displayed on the Draft Tracker page: Draft Analysis.
If you will be gone, vacation, off line, etc., you can use the Pre-Draft option,
or you can ask us put your team on "autodraft".
The draft "spots" CAN be traded.
Your league's draft will last for 18 rounds, and will be in a "serpentine" style,
with the 1st round order of : Team # 1-5-9-10-6-2-3-7-11-12-8-4.

to pick next. Also, any pre-draft picks that were made will be included in
this email message.
Pre-Drafting for future Rounds:
An on-line draft can be a very time consuming process. We have implemented a pre-draft system
to move it along. This pre-draft system allows each franchise owner to select a list of
players for future rounds even if it is not yet their turn to pick. Unlike a blind draft,
this pre-draft system is strictly voluntary, and leaves it up to the individual franchise
owner to decide what rounds they would like to pre-draft for, and how many choices they would
like to have in each round. Best of all, no other franchise owner can find out the
pre-draft picks you have made.
To Pre-Draft, follow these steps:
Start at your normal starting point: ...http://www.dreamsports.com/fb-owners.htm
Click on your league.
Then click on the "League Draft" link.
On the next web page, click on the "Draft" Option.
Next, click on your "Team Name", then click the "Go" button.
- If it's your turn to pick, you will see a message indicating that, and you may draft
normally. Otherwise, you will see a message indicating that you may pre-draft for future rounds.
Select several players from the list of available players or teams.
The more you pick, the better chance you will have of actually getting one of them.
To select more than one player, hold the "control" or "ctrl" key down as you click
on all of your choices.
Select the "round" that you are pre-drafting for.
Press the "Make Selection" button.
From the next web page, you will see a list of your pre-draft picks,
and a column titled Order. Prioritize your picks by having the number 1 in the Order column
next to your first preference, the number 2 next to your second preference, and so on.
Press the "Submit Pre-Draft" button.
You will receive a confirmation on the next web page of the pre-draft picks that you
just made.
Once the person in front of you has picked (or their pre-draft pick has been made for
them), your highest priority available pick will be made for you, and everyone in your
league will receive an email confirmation of this.
If you later change your mind and decide to remove your pre-draft picks for a certain
round (before drafting for that round, of course), you can follow all of the steps above,
except don't select any players or teams from the list of available players and teams. This
will make the dreamsports.myfantasyleague.com webpage forget your pre-draft picks for
that round.
