CUSTOMIZABLE OPTIONS

Commissioners can customize their Private Leagues in many different ways. Private Commissioner leagues invoke a Registration League Wizard that will step you through all of the options available to you. After the initial league configuration is establish and the league is created, options to edit the various league settings are found among the various links found on the Commissioner's League Home Page and Commissioner Tools. We highly advise that the Commissioner use our "Test Scoring" tool at least once before the draft begins to ensure that the scoring output matches his expectations. Once the draft completes, team and roster max are locked as are the starting positions. Almost all others are locked at the start of the first game. Refer to the grids below for specific lock down points. Changing settings after the point that they are locked down can cause problems with the successful operation of the league. However, if the NFL season has not begun, the Commissioner can delete the draft, change the settings and redo the draft as a last resort. Below are the various configuration options available, their lock down timing and the Default setting for each option. Live Online Drafts start a process of loading the Draft Room 60 minutes before the scheduled start time of the draft. All changes that mention a Lock Down time of “Start of draft” must be completed 60 minutes before the scheduled draft start time. Drafting actually begins at the scheduled time, but the room is opened early to load players, pre-ranks, and to allow the league members to familiarize themselves with the room and to build a queue of players to draft, as well as starting the inevitable trash talking.
