I am trying to join a live draft (my first time).
The team is created and named it but when I click on the link to "join a league" it just sends me back to my team page. It looks like the site is asking for me to fill out a draft list with a $0 cap.
I've set up a long predraft list, but still can't get my team into the league.

Can someone please explain what I need to do?

After you've selected your player set and created your team, the next screen is the one where you can choose your draft. All the salary cap leagues are in a box on the right; the live draft is the box on the left.

As you choose the "live draft" option, you can just join a league. I am not sure how you can create a "long draft list" without joining a league. I suspect you are trying to join a live draft with a team for which you have specified a salary cap.

Or, perhaps you have set up a live draft team and are trying to join a capped league. If you have a live draft team, you can only join leagues that say "Live" in the draft column.

Maybe I'm way off base here. It wouldn't be the first time.

I am not a expert, but when you look at your draft page it will look like this.

Stockton Terror (edit name)
Player Set: ATG6 (change)
Total Salary Cap: 200,000,000 (change)
Draft Type: Salary Cap List (change)
Cash Remaining: 73,810,000
You've Spent: 126,190,000
Players You Still Need: 11
Average You can spend: 6,710,000

If under draft type it says salary cap list then you are not under the live draft format, hit change and it will take you back to a list that will include live draft and you can change your team to the correct format.

my page looks like this

Red Dwarf (edit name)
Player Set: ATG6 (change)
Total Salary Cap: 0 (change)
Draft Type: Salary Cap List (change)
Cash Remaining: ############
You've Spent: ############
Players You Still Need: 25
Average You can spend: 40,000,000


It will not let me change draft type. I have tried clicking it and replacing the dot on the left with Live draft. But it always come right back to looking like this.

I would like to play in the league starting tomorrow. Any chance that the Stratomatic people will answer my email on a holiday weekend in time to make that happen?

Mine was similar and I click where it says CHANGE(in blue) and it got me out of the salary draft. You have yet to draft a player so I do not see why you cannot change.

It cant hurt to send a email asking for SN to fix it for you.

Make sure you are logged into your account when you try and change.

Also if you do get a new screen when you hit change make sure you scroll downwards to where the option of salary and live draft are available.
