If your league is setup to use the "Autopick Draft" option the system automatically drafts players to each team in the league on a scheduled draft date. There is no need for any member to be online during the draft but each team should customize their draft list. Draft lists can be customized until the day the draft is scheduled to process and if no draft list is submitted the system uses the default draft list as a guide. When the draft starts the system loads each users draft lists and this list is used as a basis to draft each roster slot for every team. The system selects the highest-rated available player - without exceeding any roster maximums - that can fill one of the undrafted roster slots, including bench slots.
Pre-draft: Your league's draft type, draft date and a link to edit your draft list are displayed on your League Office page (as seen in the example below).

Prepare your team for draft Note: If the LM edits any of the draft's settings you will receive an email notifying you of the changes. Editing Draft Lists: We highly recommend that all Autopick drafters customize their draft list before the scheduled draft date. While our default draft list is updated to reflect changes on the field, this protects you from getting an unwanted player with a high default ranking. Your list will be used as your rankings during the draft. The links to editing your draft lists are available in two places 1- on your pre-season League Office page in the "DRAFT INFO" box and 2- on your main team page in the "OPTIONS" box (as seen in the example below). Note: After your draft lists is edited and saved the "Not Customized" text will change to list the date your list was last edited. You can edit your draft list as often as you like until the day before your scheduled Autopick draft date. All players available during the draft are listed on the Draft List. Rank the players in order of preference and click the "Save Ranks" button. You can also use the "Up" and "Down" links to move players up and down on your list. Below is an example of the HTML Pre-Rank Players page. Conclusion of the draft: After the system has finished processing the autopick draft it will need a few minutes to process and convert the league into regular season mode where owners can start managing their teams. All owners will receive an email notifying them that the draft is complete.
