Almost the same question. I figured out last year how to fix errors (item (c) in the above), but the following still apply:
Our league is doing keepers for the 2nd time ever. The way we're doing it is that owners can keep up to 1 player drafted in the last 5 rounds of 2020. That player will be picked in the same draft slot this year. e.g. one guy wants to keep Austin Eckler, picked 11th last year. So he'd pick him in round 11 this year.
My question: is there a way to
a) prepopulate the draft board with keeper picks?
OR
b) if not a), take those keepers off the pool of available players?
We have one person who is unable to be at the live draft. He will be using autodraft. I want to prevent him from taking the keepers.
To specify just the keepers for all teams, you can go to League » Settings » Edit Rosters » These are the keepers only. This will set the players on every team and mark all of them as keepers.
There's no way to represent keepers on the draft board yet but you can delete the picks for each keeper:
Can a commish delete picks that represent certain keepers?
Yes! Commissioners should first make sure that all teams have their keepers set. This will prevent those players from being available in the player pool during the draft.
To remove a pick that represents a keeper in the draft, commissioners should go to League » Settings » Edit Draft Order and choose the "Edit Rounds" button at the bottom. Select a round to edit, and then use the drop-down in the Owner column to select the [Delete Pick] option from the list and then Save. The owner will lose their pick in that round, and one will get added to the end of the draft so that they still get all of the picks they need to fill their roster.
@Fleaflounder, thakn you so much for the quick response.
It was very easy to do what you suggest. Just one follow up question. I added most of the keepers last night. Today I added another (deadline to declare for us is tomorrow). But that guy is showing an extra draft pick at the end. what did I do wrong for him?
