Manually Assign Players to team

Ozymandius · 07-30-2012, 11:59 PM

I have started a league and we do a blind auction outside of game every year with non retained players. We just finished the initial auction and as commissioner am I stuck with going in to each player and manually assigning his team via the player editor or am I missing an easy way to do this?

What about releasing all players and do an Inaugural Draft? Shy of that then manual one by one is the only other way I can think of.

I did release all players, the problem is not all teams end up with the same amount of players right out of the gate, so a draft did not seem to work well. It's definitely going to make for an interesting league! I would be nice if in commish mode there was a drag and drop option or a rt click option from the player lists to assign to a team.

Thanks for the reply!

Also helps a ton if you use the arrows to move from one player to the next in the editor.

You can export the rosters to CSV, use Excel (or OpenOffice) to move players around on that, and then re-import the CSV. Might be a bit quicker.
