Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about our player draft software and how it can transform your league's team formation process.
Our evaluation system provides position-specific assessment tools that allow coaches to rate players on various skills and attributes. You can create custom evaluation forms with weighted scoring for different positions, invite multiple evaluators to provide input, and automatically combine scores for a comprehensive player ranking. The system also supports video analysis integration and generates detailed player profiles with strengths, areas for improvement, and coach comments.
Our system supports various draft formats including snake, auction, and straight drafts. You can customize virtually every aspect of your draft including: round-by-round pick orders, time limits per pick, position requirements, roster limits, and scoring systems. Advanced options include keeper league support, franchise tags, taxi squads, and custom draft pick trading. Our platform is flexible enough to accommodate everything from traditional drafts to the most complex fantasy or youth sports league formats.
Our interactive live draft board provides a seamless experience for both in-person and remote participants. The board updates in real-time across all devices, showing current picks, team rosters, and available players. Remote coaches receive automatic notifications when they're on the clock and can make selections through any web browser or our mobile app. The system includes features like draft timers, auto-pick queues, and instant messaging to keep everyone engaged regardless of their location. For hybrid events, you can display the draft board on a large screen while remote participants join virtually.
Our system employs sophisticated algorithms that analyze multiple factors to ensure competitive balance. It evaluates player ratings across different positions, team needs, and historical performance data. The platform provides real-time team strength analysis, highlighting any significant imbalances in talent distribution. Commissioners can use our 'Balance Check' feature to get recommendations for adjustments, and the system can enforce position limits or other constraints to maintain fairness. Post-draft, you'll receive a comprehensive team balance report showing projected strengths and potential competitive gaps.
We understand that player movement happens throughout the season. Our system offers several options for handling late additions: 1) Run a supplemental draft with remaining teams, 2) Use a waiver wire system where teams can claim players based on reverse standings, 3) Allow free agent acquisitions with transaction limits, or 4) Use a blind bidding system for available players. The platform automatically enforces your league's rules for player additions and maintains a complete transaction history.
Our system includes comprehensive trade management tools that work both during and after the draft. During the draft, team representatives can propose trades of draft picks or players, which can be approved by league administrators. After the draft, the system maintains a trade center where teams can negotiate and submit trades for approval. The platform tracks all trade history, enforces roster limits and position requirements, and can even analyze proposed trades for competitive balance if desired.
