Does commish need to export his team files?

This is not so obvious to someone running his first online league, but you experts are probably going to laugh.

Is it necessary for the commish to export his team file or is that simply redundant?

I'm especially interested in getting it to follow my draft list in OOTP 09. However, I can't get the AI to choose and follow my draft list if I'm in commish mode.

Second question: Do you switch out of commish mode and into GM mode to have the AI draft when you're doing round by round and not simming the complete draft in one day?

This is based upon OOTP8 not 9 but should apply.

I have set up a user for my team and a user for the commish (who manages no team). Helps me keep it straight. As commish you can alter your team and don't need to export, but I usually do. With this split there are messages that the team owner gets that the commish does not. So I usually sign in as my team, when working with the team.

Can't answer the draft list question. Is this in the game or Getch's utilities. Again since I set up two IDs, this problem may not occur.

Also, I do the draft out side the game and then enter it as the commish, until we get to computer selection, in which case, it just hit complete draft.
