Draft Discussion

I'll have the Ammy Draft ready to go in Statslab later today.

New Jersey has the 1st overall pick and can start us off here if he gets up before I have it ready in Statslab .

The Ammy Draft is setup in Statslab and ready to go. We'll go without a draft slot timer during the playoffs with non-playoff teams drafting. Once the playoffs are concluded, we'll have a running 24-hour timer that resets after each pick for the 1st round then a running 12-hour timer resetting after each pick for the reminder of the draft.

New Jersey is up with the 1st overall pick.

I'm considering and working on trying our Ammy Draft in the brand new OOTP Utility, StatsPlus.

You can make your pick in either as of right now (Wed 5/3 12pm CT).

There is a Slack channel #afbl_draft (https://afbl.slack.com/messages/C57FVNQTS/) for Ammy Draft updates and progress.

Stay tuned for updates.

I selected for Illinois (vacant) this morning so we can keep things moving.

Texas is up at pick 1-6 for 24 hours.

We have things figured out for the time being in StatsPlus. You guys can make your pick in either StatsLab or StatsPlus.

StatsLab is still the primary but if you can, make your pick in StatsPlus so we can help Dave find any bugs  .

We're almost done with Round 1!

If you can, please try to make your pick in StatsPlus.

I'll make sure both StatsPlus and StatsLab draftboards are matching.

Assuming everything goes well in S+, we'll be completely on that for drafting next year.

We're nearly finished with Round 3.

We have to be completed with the draft by Tuesday so please be alert, ready, and prepared for your pick (live, list with enough players to cover until your pick plus 1 more, or set yourself to auto).

I am not a fan of StatsPlus at all.  The navigation is slow and everytime I go back to look at players, there is a 10-15 loading period for players. 

If it works for the league as a whole, great.  I just didn't have frustrating issues like this with Statslab.

Hmm sorry about your troubles! I'll keep an eye on that and see if there is anything Dave can do to help with that. Are you on a computer or on your phone when you see this?

Computer with a great connection on both Chrome and Safari browsers.  It works, just the downtime of switching a search or checking out a player page and going back produces a lot of downtime

I'll chat with Dave to see if there is anything that can be fixed for this. Sorry again about your troubles and frustrations!
