Supplemental Draft change - README

[Rob]

This year we will be using Fantrax for our Supplemental Draft.  You'll notice a button at the top navigation panel in Fantrax called 'Draft Room'.  You can access this now and check it out.  The draft will go live on August 3rd at 8AM EST.  The 12 hour pick clock is automated and selected players will be automatically added to your team.  It will be set up to email you when you are on the clock.  You will be able to setup a draft queue if you think you're going to be away.  Results will be added to ProFSL rosters once the draft is complete. 

This should make the draft run very smoothly and will be a lot less work for me!  Any questions let me know.

Thanks Jared for setting this up!

Is it just me, or did "Draft Room" disappear from the Fantrax navigation bar?  I saw it when this news was first posted a few weeks ago; now, I can't find it anywhere.

It's still there for me.  I just set up my draft queue a few minutes ago.  It's in between "Rank Players" and "Standings"

Thanks.  My bad - I was looking at the page for last season (my old bookmark took me there).

When it is time to draft will the FA be taken out of the draftee list?  Right now I could draft Hudler #1.

Yes once you pick a player they are removed from the list. You can't take 40+ GP players even though they're available in the draft room.

Ok, so there will be guys in the list that we shouldn't be drafting.  That was what I was wondering.

yup... there is currently no way of removing ineligible players from the draft app.  We are just going to have to trust you guys that you follow the typical draft eligible rules.  Your picks can be changed if someone screws it up/ draft rewind is an option.
