All League Types: In-Draft
- The “Launch Auction Draft” link will be available on each team’s main “My Team” page 1-hour prior to scheduled start time
- Each team is given a fixed amount of $200 to fill all roster slots (including the bench)
- In League Manager Leagues, the League Manager determines the preset budget
- A countdown clock will appear displaying the time until the first player is open for bidding
- Teams are randomly assigned in the nomination order
- Nomination means when each team owner is required to select and submit a player to be openly bid on
- Unlike traditional Snake Drafts, the nomination order works in a straight left to right order (1-10, 1-10, 1-10)
- In Auction Drafts, draft ordering is used for player nominations and team owners can bid on any player
- Each team is represented with a colored football helmet across the top of the draft application
- Your team and the dollar amount displayed below each helmet is the team’s current balance or maximum bid (depending on which option is set)
- Grayed out helmets are teams without an owner that is currently connected
- For more information (i.e. team, owner name, maximum bid) about each team, move your mouse over the helmets
- Players can be added to the player queue at any time during the draft
- Select the player and drag and drop them into the panel to the right
