Oh, OK. Here is what you do if you are planning on missing some time.
1. Go
here.
2. Go to your TEAM WAR ROOM and you can see all of the players available to be drafted. Use the drop-down menus to sort. You'll notice that you cannot access the player ratings from this page and that is because we use scouted ratings. You can, however, click on the player's name and it will bring you to the ndlbaseball.com page where some more info is available.
3. Click on the boxes of players that you want to draft and then click ADD TO LIST; they will appear in the box a little bit north of the player stats.
4. Sort them however you like.
5. If you think you will miss the whole draft, set it to AUTO-DRAFT or you can set it to AUTO-DRAFT after a certain round.
6. Enjoy.
I will ultimately open the draft tomorrow night or Sunday. The #1 pick is free to select a player if they want and so on down the list. However, nobody is required to select a player until Sunday at noon. From there on out, everyone gets an hour. If you have it on AUTO-PICK, the game will automatically select a player from you either from your drop-down box or through the StatsLab algorithm. If you wait until the end of the hour and don't make a pick, it will act as if it were on AUTO-PICK and then actually put you on AUTO-PICK until you tell it otherwise.
From Monday to Wednesday, the timer drops to 30 minutes. And, for those who drafted in the old utility, this one will actually pick for you; it isn't just for show.
