Regarding Fantrax and the draft:
The draft will start at 9 AM EST on 25th of August.
Everybody gets 8 hours per pick.
You will receive an email notification from Fantrax once when there is only one pick left (The email will be titled "You are on deck")
You will also receive an email notification from Fantraxt when you are up.
From the transactions part, you can send trade offers including picks and / or players. Once a trade is accepted, it will immediately go through and needs no commisioner approval. (the other option with commisioner approval requires a commisioner to be around 24/7 to approve the trades especially when the trade involves a pick on the clock.). Since we never actually veto trades (only complain about it), removing commisioner approval looks like the way to go. You can find your standing offers and the offers you have received in "Pending transactions" section.
If you trade for a pick, your clock does not reset, beware of that.
You make your picks in the draft room. There is also a chat room in the draft room. The ranking at the top of the draft room is the standard Fantrax ranking. If you go to "Rank players" in your homepage and update the rankings in accord with your wishes, the player ranking on Draft room will also be updated.
An important feature of the Fantrax that will speed up the draft is Autopick. In this system you NEVER get skipped.
In draft room at the top, you will see a settings sign (looks like a wheel). There you can select all the auto pick options
- You can pick do not autopick. In this one, the system will only make an autopick if your clock runs out.
- You can pick autopick x number of players (in case you will be away from your computer for a week or so). The autopick will pick up x number of players in the draft and then turn it off. When you turn autopick option on, it makes the pick immediately as soon as your turn is up.
- Whenever the system makes an autopick (either at the end of your turn if your clock runs out or at the beginning of your turn if you turned autopick on), then it will select the player at the top of your queue. If your queue has no players left, it will pick the top ranked player from your rankings at the top your draft room (which you can always edit from "rank players" tab as explained above.
