This year, during Opening Round, thousands of leagues will be scheduling their drafts with the footy on in the background. To have a successful drafting experience, commissioners and participating coaches have a few jobs to tick off in the lead up to the important day. The commissioner is usually the most organised and trusted leader of the league. They oversee everything from the league settings to settling dodgy trades and team-to-team agreements.
As the boss of the league, tick these tasks off the to-do list:. Check your settings : Make sure you've got the right number of coaches and the squad size is how you want it. Draft time is scheduled, and all teams are in and ready to go.
Make sure your settings are how you like it, because in β¦ you have more flexibility than ever before. Consider checking out the Pro subscription that allows advanced settings including custom scoring and other commissioners' tools.
Add some extra fun to your league : Firstly, plan an eventβ¦. Or even better, block out the whole weekend. If you can all get together, do it! If not, hook up a group video call. Don't forget to get a group chat going so the banter can fly around during the draft and all season long. Also think about how you will do your draft order.
You might have prizes up for grabs for the winner, however, you should also seriously consider a punishment for the coach who gets the wooden spoon⦠this keeps everyone engaged! Download the Draft Kit : This page document is your draft bible. This provides you with plenty of information to help you get ready for draft day ⦠and to use as an assistant coach throughout the draft.
