What are the different types of Drafts?
Yahoo Fantasy Sports offers several different types of draft options: Live Online Draft, Offline Draft, and an Auto-Draft. A Live Online Draft, which is what we will utilize, allows all league managers to login to the league and use Yahoo software to take part in a LIVE online draft. This is the easiest way to get almost everyone involved in the Draft. An offline Draft is done when all league managers meet in real life and have a Draft (at someone’s house). The results are then entered manually by the commissioner into the league. This only works when everyone lives in a close proximity. Finally, Yahoo uses an AutoDraft if most league managers don’t have time to draft themselves. Yahoo uses pre-ranked player systems to choose teams for each owner, and the results are given.
