Draft room

Three surfaces, one board. Prep is where you decide, mock is where you rehearse, live is where you execute — and the live page holds nothing you could have settled the day before, which is what keeps it quick when it matters.

Days before

Prep room

Everything that is a decision rather than a reaction.

  • Pick the projections the board runs on — ours, or the set you built in the Room
  • Set your format: roto, H2H categories, points, H2H points or season points
  • Choose the categories you count, from every one the board carries
  • Build ledger rules — a position, a category and a threshold
  • Star the players you want and see the board in your own scoring

Anything that is a setting lives here, which is the only reason the live portal stays light enough to use on a phone with a clock running.

Mock vs bots

A room that disagrees with itself, so a strategy actually gets tested.

  • Three bot temperaments — one drafts the board, one fills needs and reaches, one overpays for its favourite club
  • Two clocks, set separately: the bots' pace and your own deadline
  • Run ten rooms at once and see what really reaches your slot
  • Finish and it scores every roster in your league's own format
  • Standings, rosters, a radar of your categories and the pick log

Ten rooms answer a question no ranking can: how often is a player still there when your turn comes, at your slot, in your league size, under your scoring.

Live portal

The board, the ledger, and the button. Nothing you could have decided yesterday.

  • Yahoo and ESPN picks polled while the draft runs
  • Fantrax and in-person drafts entered by hand — a first-class path, not a fallback
  • Odds a player survives to your next pick and the one after
  • A pick it cannot match to a player is reported, never silently dropped
  • The log lives for the session and is never written down

Deliberately the thinnest of the three. What is here changes during a draft; everything else was settled in prep.

Every format, every provider

The five league formats collapse into the two engines that actually change what a player is worth on draft day: category z-scores, or projected fantasy points from your own scoring settings. Roto and H2H categories differ in how a season is settled, not in who to take. Yahoo and ESPN feed picks live; Fantrax publishes no draft feed, so it is listed honestly as manual rather than left to fail on the night.

The ledger

All three carry it. One list of rules that is both the scarcity readout and the filter set, because what you count as scarce and what you want to look at are the same question. Rules are seeded from your league's own categories — score faceoff wins and a rule for wingers who take them appears without anyone writing it, because in that league a winger who wins draws is an edge nothing else counts.

Looking for the old board?

The single-page draft board is still here at the classic board, with your saved sessions and codes intact. The three surfaces above replace it, but nothing was taken away.
