Does it even exist? It's hard to tell as I'm setting up my league if the site has a draft engine and what the features are. Has anybody used it before, or do most of you just go to an outside site to draft, like Mock Draft Central?

Thanks.

Very confused by what you're asking. MFL has always had drafting built in and several different types, even auction. In the very first link in commish setup for general league setup choose the type of draft you want.

Then put the draft on your league calendar.

Then you'll have a bunch of draft options in the commish setup.

Yeah I saw the settings there when I was setting up. So when the draft time comes up, what happens? Does everybody log in, and does it conduct a live draft like Yahoo does? Like MDC? What is it like?

You might want to check out the help file as it explains a lot of what can be done.

As to your question, all depends what kind of draft you're doing. If you're doing a live draft then yes, owners can log into the Live Draft room for the draft. If you're doing a slow/email draft then there is no live draft room and you'll make picks on the draft page.

Also note that you can run test leagues for free so setup a draft and run it to see how it all works. That's probably the best way to go, especially if you have to explain to your owners how it works. Maybe even hold a 3 round "test" draft for all the owners so they can get used to the controls and such.

Good luck.

Thanks again Bonscott. This is the 2nd time you've answered my questions. I just set up the trial league to see how it works, and I'm able to see it now.
