Import Rosters, Then Draft?

Pennypacker023 10 Months

I am starting a new dynasty league and have decided to go with Fleaflicker. We are doing a 15-round auction draft on ESPN, followed by a 15-round snake draft on Fleaflicker to fill out the rosters. I'm hoping to accomplish both of these on the same day.

Will I be able to import rosters to Fleaflicker 30 minutes or so before our scheduled draft time, and then still hold the 15-round draft as scheduled with the remaining player pool? Are there any other settings I need to be aware of to make this go smoothly?

  • It is against Fleaflicker's terms of service to post offensive material.

One other question. To ensure fair access to all players, I'd like to set it up so that all players are locked after the draft, and then have waivers run every night (or every other night) up until the start of the regular season. Ideally, a team would move to the bottom of the waiver order any time a waiver claim is made. Other than that, the order would not reset until the the season starts (at which point it begin resetting weekly based on the standings).

Is this possible?

Thanks!

Sure, do this:

Commish Options>Edit Waiver Rules>Select a Day

Commish Options>Transaction Rules>Lock Free Agents During Preseason, click YES

Waivers will then run once a week until the season starts on selected day so it's not first come, first served

Thanks for the info. Any way I can make them run more frequently? What if I go into the options daily and change the day that waivers run?

Yes, you can actually do that if you wish too.

I'll be doing this on Sunday 8/5. Will you guys be around? I'll shoot you an email if I need too, but I don't think it'll be too much trouble for me to do this myself.

This is great, thank you very much for the quick response and detailed instructions!

Give yourself a bit more than 30 minutes because you need about 30 to import them over manually (shoot us an email and if we're around that day, we can)... and then the system requires 35 minutes before generating a new draft time, syo figure the turnaround from sites is about an hour...

Here's what you have to know:

1) set your rosters for 30 players on Fleaflicker (I can now)...

2) draft at ESPN and then head to Fleaflicker

3) go to commish options->import rosters->select team and enter players->hit these are the keepers only and then save

4) the keepers from ESPN will save and now you have to go back to commish options->edit rosters->these are the complete rosters but still draft this season->submit

5) commish options->edit live draft options->set live draft time for about 35 minutes in the future that day

6) fleaflicker will schedule a 15-round draft for you then

7) draft away

I'll log into your league now and ensure the snake is the entire way and you're set for 30 players... If you have any trouble with this the day of, please email us, we can help, but this is certainly feasible and easier than it looks above

Thanks!
