[quote:a3e7ab24fc="SToNe_WaLLeD2"]Well by my calculations we are through 1 round today so we should be done drafting around the end of July. [/quote:a3e7ab24fc]
We'd be going faster if you would make a pick. :P :lol:
Just ribbing you stonewalled. I know this is your first live draft. If you set proxies then the site will pick a player for you to help the draft go faster. To do this click on "create a proxy". Under Pos: you can search remaining players by position or you can just start typing in a last name to get the ID number. When you find a player you would like type in the ID number in the player ID field. Always leave Round at 0. Group means that you can group like players. If you want a SS then you can list several SS as group 1. If you want a player from the Detroit Tigers you can list a few Tiger players as group 1. Get the idea?
Priority is self explainatory. Delete if group picked is very important. If you list 5 Detroit Tigers, but only want 1 on your team, list them all in the same group and by priority but be sure to click YES in the delete if group picked box. This way once a proxy pick is made from that group all the rest of your proxies in that group will be deleted. If you keep that response as NO then the site will continue to pick Tiger players for you until you pick them all or they have all been picked by others. See what I mean?
The proxy system is really easy to use. Don't be scared of it just be careful in how you set it up. Also I always leave spaces in my priority numbers. In a group I might set up the priorities as 1, 3, 5, etc. I am always second guessing myself so later I might want to put a different player ahead of someone else. You don't have to delete all your proxies if you leave room to insert other players later.
Hope this quick tutorial helps.
