  • OSFL Draft Utility

    http://www.simgamingnetwork.com/osfl/utilities/draft/

    Pick Times:
    1st Round: 12 hours
    Remaining Rounds: 6 hours
    The draft clock runs from 8am to 12 midnight ET.

    Guide:
    - When you first visit the link you will be prompted for a username and password. Use your forum username and the generic password of 'password'. After entering this for the first time, you will be prompted to enter a new, permanent password for the utility. Do so, and use that password for the remainder of the draft. It will prompt you to enter this password every time you access the Draft Utility page.

    If you are unable to login, please make sure the username you're using is exactly the same as it appears in the list at the bottom of this post. If you still have trouble, please notify Aaron and myself immediately so we can resolve the issue and you don't miss your pick.

    Here is what the interface looks like:


    Options:
    - Trading picks: If you trade draft pick(s) during the draft, do so by selecting the pick involved in the trade (checkboxes on the right), highlight the receiving team, and press the 'Trade pick(s)' button. ALL TRADES MUST BE ANNOUNCED IN THE TRADE ANNOUNCEMENTS FORUM AND CONFIRMED BEFORE TRADE IS MADE IN DRAFT UTILITY.
    - Email options: If you would like to receive email updates from the draft, enter an email adress in the appropriate spot and select whether you want updates for every pick or only when you are on the clock. Press 'Update email preferences' to save your options.
    - Preference List: To build a preference list to enable automatic drafting, select a player (or one of the Best Available options located at the bottom of the player selection window - scroll down) and press 'Add to List'. Your selected player will now appear at the bottom of your list (lower window). To move players around in your list, highlight the entry you wish to move and press 'Up' or 'Down'. Press 'Remove' to delete the highlighted entry from your list.
    - Activate Auto-Drafting: To turn on your preference list for auto-drafting, select either 'On', 'Off' or 'Once' from the selection options and press 'Save Usage'. 'On' will activate your preference list for any and all remaining picks until your list is exhausted. 'Off' will turn auto-drafting off. 'Once' will instruct the utility to auto-draft for your next pick only, then the list will turn itself off. By checking the 'Don't pick the same position with consecutive picks' option and pressing 'Save Usage', you will instruct the utility to skip over any players in your list who play the same position as your last draft pick. An example of where this could be useful is if you want to select a QB and RB in your next two picks, but would like to build a list in the following manner:

    1. QB
    2. QB
    3. QB
    4. QB
    5. RB
    6. QB
    7. RB
    8. RB

    Without the option checked, you would risk selecting two QB's with consecutive picks if both remain available. If checked, the utility would ensure that your two picks will yield a QB and RB, regardless of whether a QB still remained at the top of your list.

    - Make a Live pick: If your preference list is turned off and you want to manually make your pick, the middle selection of the utility will be visible and display a list of all available players left in the draft pool. To make your selection, highlight the player and press 'Confirm selection'.

    (Note: The numbers you see beside players in the list are their bureau rating as scouted by the game)

    Once you go to the draft utility link, you will also notice a menu on the left side of your browser...this contains links to the draft utility, a full listing of the draft order, a listing of picks segmented by team, a simple listing of the draft class (pos/name/rating) and a detailed listing of the draft class (combine numbers).

    IMPORTANT NOTE:
    Upon logging into the draft utility for the first time, please check the picks you have been assigned to make sure it matches what you think you have. I took the draft order from the latest league file, so if you have traded picks since then, you will need to send those picks to the appropriate team via the utility interface as soon as possible.

    If you have any questions or problems, please let Aaron or I know.

              I was only asking a question here guys. I hope no one picked. I say this because (WR) Lum and (T) Ellison are showing up on my draft availability list, but when I click to add them to the board, their names are not showing up.

                    Can you PM me one of the players you were trying to add. I logged in as Admin on both of your accounts and it seemed to work.

                        What exactly happens? Do you press save and then the list doesn't get updated? If so then you might be missing a javascript file (this caused me loads of problems when I set up the vNFl draft). I will email this to Andrew.

                          Nah. When I choose players to put into my pref. list, it shows a number but no name. So essentially I don't know who is in my pref. list or what order they will be chosen.

                            We'll look into it. Please don't edit your preference lists for now, since there's a good chance we'll need to clear all lists to fix the issue. This goes for people who aren't experiencing the problem as well.
