Setting proxies on the www.somdraft.com website.
In the find player box you type the last name of the player you are looking for. If you want to pick this player just click on PICK.
To create a proxy click on the "create a proxy" tab. Type in a player name as above to get a 5 digit numeric code for this player name. You then type this number code into the PlayerID box. I ignore the "Round" box. In the Group box keep it at 1. In the Priority box leave it at 1 if this is the player you most want. In the Delete if Group Picked box change to yes.
Lets say you are looking for a SS and there are 5 that you want the most. Type in their last name in orderof preference as above in the Create a Proxy area. You would keep all of them as group 1 and change the priority number from 1 to 5 in order for all of them. By making them all Yes in the Delete if Group Picked box as soon as your proxy picks your highest available player from that group the rest of the SS in that group will be deleted so that you wouldn't draft 2 SS's.
If 3B is the next position to pick then you can list some 3B in order as a proxy and list them all as group 2. So when your proxy picks a SS for your first selection it will delete the rest of the SSs you had chosen and then pick your highest listed 3B for your next pick and so on.
Sound confusing? It isn't once you start using it.
You don't have to pick by position either. If you want the best player available just list a RF, SS, C, (or whatever) in group 1. If you would like all of those players then select NO for delete if group picked. Then your proxy would fire on any of those players unless they all were previously picked by someone else.
