Draft Disappeared from my Association

dev6015 · 03-01-2023, 01:38 PM

Well this sucks. I'm a few years into a pro/rel sim that I spent a lot of time developing and it has been working just fine so far, then all of a sudden my draft disappears and idk why. See the screenshots below. I have the draft scheduled in my Association page for the next day (June 5) but the draft page says the draft has passed (in 2022?!). Its almost like the game has a disagreement on the actual date?

I hadn't ever dealt with this issue before this season.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

And the draft has always been on this date? Or was it recently moved (date changed?)

It sounds like this one:

I don't see the resolution on the issue but Lukas did engage to try and offer a solution. There may be other posts where it happened and a solution noted.

Ok after some experimentation I found the issue. Praise the lord. Somehow the date of my drafts (amateur and Rule 5) got adjusted and I'm not sure how.

For anyone running into this issue in the future, I've posted the solution below.

1. Ensure that the draft dates for amateur and Rule 5 are aligned in each of your league pages (League Settings >>> Rules). These all have to be on the same exact date or else certain leagues within your association won't be able to participate.
2. This is the key step that I didn't even know existed...you have to edit the league calendar to ensure that the league will enable the event that has been scheduled. To do this...
a. Enable Commissioner mode
b. Click on your League Page, then navigate to League News
c. Click on League Events
d. Edit the event in question (in my case, the rookie and amateur drafts) to the same dates you have them scheduled for in your League Settings >>> Rules page
e. In some cases, you'll have to move the event one year at a time. For me, the drafts were showing as June 6, 2022, while the date of my sim is June 5, 2025. I had to move it from June 6, 2022 to June 6, 2023 >>> 2024 >>> and 2025 one at a time.

That should fix the issue. I think if you set these dates to match the exact dates on the calendar that you have in your League Settings >>> Rules page it should be automated in the future, but I still need to do a bit more simming / testing for the time.
