FANTASY
DRAFT
The Fantasy Draft enables
you to redistribute all players in your league via a draft process
whereby all the teams take turns choosing players for their team.
SETUP
To start the draft, pick
a format for the first round and for the remaining rounds and click
OK.

After starting the draft,
the computer will conduct all draft picks for all computer-controlled
teams. You will be informed when it is time for a human-controlled
team to make a draft pick.
If
you check Announce Each Draft Pick, the computer will
inform you of every single draft pick with a popup message. |
If
you check Skip Computer Draft Picks, only human-controlled teams will be able to draft players. This is useful if you want to include all players in the Fantasy Draft, but only divide them among 10 or 12 teams. |
FINDING PLAYERS
We recommend using the Roster Dialog to find players during the Fantasy Draft. Choose 'Undrafted Players' from the Team List.
DRAFTING PLAYERS
To draft a player, open
that player's Scouting Report and click
Draft. If the Draft Button is grayed out, it means that player
has already been drafted.
Until the draft has
been completed, all players will be displayed on their old (pre-draft)
teams. This is to aid you in finding players. For example, if
you need a starting pitcher and you remember that Atlanta has a
good pitching rotation, you can open the Bullpen
Dialog and select Atlanta.
You can also use the
Find Players Dialog to find undrafted
players that fit certain parameters. During the Fantasy Draft, the
Find Players Dialog will only display players that have not yet
been drafted.
To view a list of players
that have already been drafted, select Fantasy Draft from
the Tools Menu. This will display the Draft
Order dialog, showing a list of players already picked, and
the draft order for picks not yet conducted.
You can choose to finish
the draft at any point by selecting Finish Draft from the
Play Menu. The computer will conduct all remaining draft picks.
This feature lets you participate in the draft in the more important
early rounds, without having to invest the time necessary to draft
every single player to your roster.
