Online league Draft - Ability to remove players from pool

robster1225 · 04-12-2013, 02:57 PM

A lot of leagues use utilities like OOTPOU or Statslab to conduct drafts, but the problem is as you get later in the rounds it becomes painful to figure out who's already been drafted. Would the ability to remove someone from the draft list as "picked" be possible, so that GM's can narrow down that draft pool as time goes on? Right now I create a filter and manuallly add the names of all players who have been drafted, but that takes a long time, and i'm not sure how many items can be in one filter.

OOTPOU already does this as your draft moves along in the utility.

Or am I guessing wrong here? You want to view the players in game but have the game only show who hasn't been drafted in the utility?

I'm not sure how you would program OOTP to mark players as drafted in a draft that hasn't taken place yet.

OOTPOU does it in the utility, all I'm suggesting is the ability for me to check a box that says "player picked" and then he doesn't show up in the draft pool anymore, or is moved to the bottom of the list and not used when i sort. I may not be explaining this well.

And i'm talking about in the game, not in the utility.

I like to look in game at players before drafting so I agree something like this would be nice. It would be nice if the draft could have an option to allow drafting from the day the draft pool appears until the day of the draft. The commissioner could then process a little bit of the draft each sim (so those players disappear out of the pool) but the players would not be placed on team rosters until the entire draft gets processed.

I suggest you guys just put the whole draft pool on your short list and remove them as they are selected, this way you get to use the in-game filters and your list isn't cluttered with players who aren't available. Not only that but players on the short list are written in ALL CAPS so their name will stick out on the actual draft pool too It accomplishes exactly what you are asking for.
