Over the past few years, hundreds of thousands of people have used our live draft software to host their fantasy drafts in real-time. The number one complaint we saw was that the Java plugin made it a huge pain. Plus it didn't work on mobile and tablet devices.
That's about to end.
Today we're opening up our new live draft room for testing. It works on any device—no extra plugins, apps, or downloads required.
You can try it out right now, by playing in a mock draft: NFL, MLB, NBA, and NHL. To learn more about what's new (and what's coming soon), read on.

How You Can Help
Please try a mock draft from one of the links above and let us know what you think (or E-mail us directly at info@fleaflicker.com). Because this is an early release, you may even encounter some bugs. With your help, we'll have everything fixed in just a few days.
It is very slow. Also, there's no way to tell from looking how many roster spots are still available for your league. I had to go back and count and then keep track on a pad and paper.
Thanks for the feedback. It will be smoother soon, what type of device are you drafting on?
We're working on incorporating a way to see your roster spots for your league so you can keep track of your actual roster when you do so instead of just seeing all the players cumulatively.
Sorry you had trouble - we did receive reports of drafts with a significant lag time when making selections.
This explains what happened in your league.
On our end, this is unacceptable. We identified the cause of the issue and deployed a fix immediately.
I know there's no way we can make up for the time you lost drafting tonight, but if there's anything we can do to help, please let us know & we'll make this right for you by e-mailing support at fleaflicker.com
I agree with wilwau. Very slow. Huge lag time between picking the player and the pick showing on the board. Mine kept referring to a Java scrpt so it looks like Java is still in there somewhere. Really miss the little box to the right that showed your team as it is filling. Trying to keep track of roster spots is tough without that. I'll probably have to cut back on teams this year. Can't take too many more of these kinds of drafts. Very frustrating.
Thanks, Hokieman - we hear you. We had some issues of a lag time yesterday that we fixed and hopefully you want have again. This was corrected and we really apologize and it was unacceptable on our end.
In terms of the box on the right side, you'll now have a box on the bottom right that shows your roster filling up and a tab that shows your Roster where you can see exactly where the players go and are placed.
We hope this helps. If there's anything we can do to make anything else right for you, or if you have any further questions or suggestions, feel free to e-mail us at fleaflicker.com and our support team will do their best to make it right.
I know you will work out the bugs. Thanks for keeping the system going -- We enjoy playing here. We appreciate everything you are doing to make it better.
