2024-03-29T09:05:08-04:00rfick1. I read the instructions for declining a pick and I don't get it. I see the column on the Selections page, but that's it. I click on the column heading, and it just sorts. Same with skip/force (which I don't get what that does either). 2. You mention 'passing' (which can't be undone) and 'skipping' which can be picked later. I take it that they aren't the same, but I don't get the specifics on how to do either one.Re: QUESTIONS ABOUT THE DRAFT SOFTWARE

2024-03-29T09:05:08-04:00noodlesWhen the draft begins and you're on the clock, the options to Decline a Pick and Skip a Pick will appear underneath the columns on the Selections page. Additionally, after your time has expired, if your pick was skipped (either manually or automatically) you'll get the option to Unskip the pick (that is, pick later).Re: QUESTIONS ABOUT THE DRAFT SOFTWARE

2024-03-29T09:05:08-04:00MarkBDid the draft start early? My pick is scheduled for 10:45am. It is 9:30am and my pick is showing as "Declined". And I have AutoPick turned "On".--------------------Upon further review, since I had Autopick turned ON, it looks like I had the option to "Decline" or "Skip" the pick. That make sense.But I don;t think I could actually make a pick because of having Autopick turned ON. That makes sense as well.I guess I will turn Autopick OFF for my next pick and see what happens.Re: QUESTIONS ABOUT THE DRAFT SOFTWARE

2024-03-29T09:05:08-04:00noodlesThe clock issue is a problem. I'll look into that later.Only when you're on the clock do the options to Decline or Skip a pick appear for your team. If autopick is on, the program will pick for you so you don't get the option to manually choose. However, depending on the delay you set on the gm options page, you have the opportunity to turn autopick off when you're on the clock. NOTE: Please DO NOT turn the autopick ON when you're on the clock because there is a bug that will mess up your pick.Re: QUESTIONS ABOUT THE DRAFT SOFTWARE

Hit Alt and Print Screen simultaneously and then paste it into any paint program like MS paint.Before you do that, look at the top of the selections page. It should say Logged in as CRO rfick.

2024-03-29T09:05:08-04:00MarkBRE:Gentlemen,Thanks for participating in the draft trial. As expected, the trial has ferreted out a couple problems that we'll need to address before we have the actual draft. For now, I'd like to get your feedback in the thread I set up on the KRFL website. Tell me of anything that seemed confusing or didn't work as expected. I'm especially interested in hearing if you 1)received (or didn't receive) an email or sms text when you were on the clock and 2) if your pick was skipped even though you had players in your queue and your autopick was on. -----------------------------------As previously posted, I have not gotten any emails even those I set it up to get them.I turned AutoPick OFF and so my second pick today WAS skipped as it was supposed to have been. I went in later and made the pick. So that works!Other than then email issue, no other problems here.Re: QUESTIONS ABOUT THE DRAFT SOFTWARE

2024-03-29T09:05:08-04:00SalemIs there a way to have the draft selections page automatically go to the current round we are on? For instance, we are in round 3 (page 3) but when I logged on this morning, it just showed page 1 and I had to find my way to page 3.

2024-03-29T09:05:08-04:00noodles2. Submitting a Tender Offer Tender Offers must be submitted by email to the Commissioner and the Finance Officer (Mark Blume) before the conclusion of drafting on the previous day. The email should include the name of the player tendered, his position, your team name and the next day's round (salary tier) that your offer will be applied to. All Tender Offers are provisional because it is possible that another team will draft your tender offered player at a higher salary. Successful tenders will be processed after the day's draft concludes and prior to the next day's rounds and can be found listed under Tender Selections. Tendered players do not count as draft picks for the round in which they are tendered (ex. a team tendering a player in round five can still make their round five pick).Re: QUESTIONS ABOUT THE DRAFT SOFTWARE

I understand process of prioritizing picks, but should be able to manually select during your time window.It's not ideal but it is what we have to work with. Here's what I wrote in the how to.About Time Slots: A schedule of time slots will be published on the website but it is important to know that these time slots are only approximate. The software doesn't allow us to specifically state when you'll be on the clock because some teams will use the full time limit given to them, while others will pick quickly. (We're working on this for the next version of the software). For now, realize that you'll likely be on the clock before your scheduled selection time. The best way to deal with that is to either use the autopick option OR be able to monitor the draft a half hour or so ahead of your pick time OR enable email and SMS (texts to your cell phone) messages when you register to let you know when you're on the clockRe: QUESTIONS ABOUT THE DRAFT SOFTWARE

2024-03-29T09:05:08-04:00edmWe should have some rules on what to do if the draft starts going too fast. I could see a scenario where an owner gets skipped and misses the player they want before there window of time. I would pick fast if I thought there was a superior player on my draft board and not risk the wait if there is not a rule to stop me. Maybe we should set the Turn On Auto Pick options for a longer time period. Then have owners spread out equally in the draft to make sure the timing stays as scheduled. Think of it as six drafts of 4 teams. Each one is within an hour window if we are doing 15 minute per pick.Re: QUESTIONS ABOUT THE DRAFT SOFTWARE

2024-03-29T09:05:08-04:00noodlesEd, Thanks for your thoughts. Amazingly enough, the tweaks made to the time schedule seemed to work very well in round two. We started the round fifteen minutes ahead of schedule because INV had already auto picked the night before (a problem we've already figured out how to avoid next time). That 15 minutes meant VAN was late to their time slot, but, for the rest of the round I think everyone was more or less on schedule. This won't be such an issue during the early rounds of the Free Agent draft because so few people make picks then for salary reasons. If it does become an issue in the later rounds, we can use your suggestion as a way to adjust. Now that we have the email and text notification system working to let everyone know when they're on the clock and the option of an auto pick queue, if everybody understands that their draft slot is a rough estimate (within a half hour) and not a guarantee, I think we're looking good.Re: QUESTIONS ABOUT THE DRAFT SOFTWARE

2024-03-29T09:05:08-04:00MarkBI just noticed (maybe this has been noticed before) at the top of the page it may indicate the pick currently due is one from a team who previously skipped their pick. It appears this happens when a team has skipped its pick, and all the subsequent timed picks have been made and skipped teams are not on-line and logged in. The software seems to work backwards and finds the first team that is logged in and whose pick was skipped and it puts that pick on the clock.This is happening right now. After I made my 4.9 pick, the software is showing WAR's Round 3 pick as being "on the clock." However, the email that went out correctly states KUT is on the clock.Just FYI as it seems a little confusing.Re: QUESTIONS ABOUT THE DRAFT SOFTWARE

2024-03-29T09:05:08-04:00edmI'm confused. The last 2 times my auto pick did not show my team drafting a player when the next team came up on the clock. Said I was skipped. I do not have zero out priority of players with same position checked. So I selected manually for the second time. I'm not getting text messages via phone and no email thus far that I was on the clock. Then my player Queue switches to 0 minutes after I manually pick. So I might be away from a computer for my next selection. Not sure what to do.
