Can't conduct expansion draft

WahooSam309 · 10-28-2018, 08:33 AM

I mentioned this on the main forum, (http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...d.php?t=291582) but maybe this is the best place for it.

I have historical expansion on and the 1977 expansion draft won't happen. I submit my protection list and when it gets to the day, it shows a link to the amateur draft and won't let me move forward. The game is basically stuck there now.

I believe we've noticed issues sometimes depending on the order things get set in, since we do re-use some internal draft structures. I think it happens if the draft pool reveal event happens between when the expansion draft is first decided and when it's scheduled for?

I forget which league events you need to move, but I would suggest moving the expansion draft event to after the amateur draft (or vice versa). You might need to play with moving other events too (protection list, or amateur draft pool reveal). You need to be in commissioner mode, and go to the league events page (it's a tab on the league news page, if I recall), and then you should be able to edit and move things around.

Thanks, I'll move some things around and sees what happens.

That did the trick. I moved the protection list to the first day of the offseason and the expansion draft two days later, and it all worked. Thanks!
