    LIVE DRAFT DETAILS - PLEASE READ BEFORE DRAFT

    Please arrive 10 minutes ahead of your scheduled time as the draft will start promptly and may go rapidly if only a few managers are logged in.

    Depending on the speed of your Internet connection, it may take up to five minutes for the draft applet to load into your browser. If you use AOL as your ISP or access the Web from behind a firewall (ask your system administrator), you may be unable to participate in a live draft.

    During the draft, you'll see a number of indicators when it is your turn to draft. Your team name will appear in the yellow box in the upper left corner of the screen, your team icon will turn yellow, and the player selection box will turn yellow.

    To draft a player:
    1. Go to your league page and select "Enter Live Draft."
    2. Select a name from the list on the left side of the screen.
    3. When the chosen name appears in the draft box, click the "Draft" button.

    You have 90 seconds to select a player. Once you click the "Draft" button, you cannot undraft a player, even if there is time left in your allotted 90-second selection period.

    If you do not draft within the allotted time, the computer will automatically give you a player based on your queued list, pre-draft rankings, or our Autopick Draft default ratings, in that priority order.

    Custom Pre-Draft Player Rankings
    If you won't be present for the entire draft, go to your team page and custom-rank players. Your custom rankings will be used if you can't make a selection at any time during the live draft. If you choose not to rank players, our default ratings will be used when you can't make a selection. (See Autopick Draft Details for more information.)

    All of your custom rankings will be viewable by changing the sort criteria (which can be found in the pulldown box) from Yahoo! Rankings to My Pre-Draft Rankings.

    Draft Queue
    You can also set up a draft queue for yourself. This list of players, which supersedes both custom and default rankings, will be used to make a selection if you do not draft a player during your allotted 90 seconds.

    To add a player to your queue list, select a name from the list on the left side of the screen. The chosen name will appear in the draft box and the player will be added to your queue when you click on the "Add to Queue" button.

    Autopick Draft Default
    To see which player Yahoo! Sports would recommend based on our default rankings, click on the "Suggest button." The player's name will appear in the draft box. Click on the "Draft" button to select that player.
    If you aren't able to select a player during the draft and you didn't make a Queue List or custom-rank players, the Yahoo! default ratings will be used to make the selection. (See Autopick Draft Details for more information.)

    Extra Features
    During the draft, you can view any team's roster by selecting the team name from the Drafted Players pulldown box. A list of how many players have been drafted at each position will appear in a column to the right of the roster.
    To chat with other managers during the draft, type your message in the entry box and hit "Send." All messages will appear in the chat box. Draft choices will also be shown here.

    Complete Live Draft
    When the draft is complete, you will see a message telling you the draft is over. Click the "OK" button to quit and close the applet. To see the complete draft results, go to your league page and select "Draft Results." All of the selected players will be listed under the name of the team that drafted them. If there are any discrepancies, be sure to send us feedback.
