Timer is set for 3 hours for the 1st and 2nd rounds.
Timer is set for 2 hours for the 3rd-5th rounds.
Timer is set for 1 hour after the 5th round.
Teams are switched to auto-draft if they miss a pick (if the utility uses your list, then it shouldn't switch you to auto).
Timer is supposed to run from 8:00am to 10:00pm Central, sometimes this feature is a bit wonky.

DRAFT IS NOW LIVE (teams can make picks) AND TIMER GOES LIVE AT 8:00AM CENTRAL ON THURSDAY 7/20.

Post here if you want me to add your email address to the draft update list. I don't do this automatically for everyone because there are a lot of emails that come through.

Anibal Ulisses looks ten times more valuable than any of the hitters in the IBL draft. Congratulations to Puerto Rico.

I got up early to check my list (was drunk at happy hour last night) since i didnt think i would make it to the office in time to set one...only to realize all my picks got autoed last night, from the emails it looks like 2 went at midnight, and one at 6AM.

Echo127 · « **Reply #12 on:** July 21, 2017, 07:30:28 AM »

That blows.

Huckleberry · « **Reply #13 on:** July 21, 2017, 07:41:37 AM »

Yes, going to try to roll back IBL picks. Nobody make any picks right now.

Huckleberry · « **Reply #14 on:** July 21, 2017, 08:01:18 AM »

Okay, so the OOTP Utilities have some issues with draft management. This is a huge reason why I'm pretty sure that all future drafts will be via the new StatsPlus app that I'm testing out.

I went in to fix it, but you can't roll back picks. I had to delete them then re-insert them. Problem #1, even though I was in the IBL draft management screen, when I deleted the first pick it deleted it from the ABL draft because I'm in the ABL. Oops. So I went to re-insert the pick but you can't insert picks between picks that have already been made. So I had to select the pick in the 3rd round to put it before. So now my second round ABL pick shows up in the third round.

Then I had to assign admin powers to an IBL user. Logged in as that person and did the same thing in the IBL. So it looks super jacked up. But the picks are in the right order.

You may proceed. I will try to manually turn the timer off and on each night/morning.

Huckleberry · « **Reply #15 on:** July 21, 2017, 08:07:54 AM »

I'm going to have to re-enable the timer after Paris makes a pick.

I need to test out the StatsPlus draft interface. Some great news is that you can trade draft picks between leagues in an association from what it looks like. But that's what I really want to test.

Huckleberry · « **Reply #17 on:** July 21, 2017, 10:39:35 AM »

For the record, what I'm really looking for is to see if y'all can see the other league's draft.

Txhorns · « **Reply #18 on:** July 21, 2017, 10:39:54 AM »

I'm signed up Huck just tell me what to do.

Huckleberry · « **Reply #19 on:** July 21, 2017, 10:41:12 AM »

Okay, go to the Current menu, then Draft at the top. Do you get the option to see either league's draft?

I also just traded the first draft in the ABL to you. Try to make a pick, please.

Txhorns · « **Reply #20 on:** July 21, 2017, 10:44:27 AM »

I can see both drafts and was able to make a pick.

Huckleberry · « **Reply #21 on:** July 21, 2017, 10:45:10 AM »

Oh man it worked. That is awesome.

Of course now I have to see if OOTP will let me import the pick directly to your team. That will be the next test.

Thanks, man. StatsPlus is going to make drafting about a million times better.

Txhorns · « **Reply #22 on:** July 21, 2017, 10:46:05 AM »

Can I keep that pick? He is far better than anything in the IBL draft pool.

Huckleberry · « **Reply #23 on:** July 21, 2017, 10:46:38 AM »

Hahaha, no. Sorry. I'm about to auto the rest of that draft to due a test import in a test league within OOTP.

Claybor · « **Reply #24 on:** July 21, 2017, 10:47:24 AM »

It does look pretty good. Seeing both leagues is a plus for sure.

claphamsa · « **Reply #25 on:** July 21, 2017, 11:01:19 AM »

i think we need to be invited to slack...right? I have other league accounts....i dunno.

Huckleberry · « **Reply #26 on:** July 21, 2017, 11:02:15 AM »

Okay, didn't know that. I will invite everyone who is not already in there.

Huckleberry · « **Reply #27 on:** July 21, 2017, 11:03:58 AM »

Huckleberry · « **Reply #28 on:** July 21, 2017, 11:16:13 AM »

Well crap, OOTP doesn't import the interleague picks. That's okay, this system still significantly lowers the work involved. Off to the suggestions forum over there.

***EDIT***

Actually, the player was properly assigned, and his history page shows he was picked. The only issue appears to be that the pick doesn't show up in the draft log. Sweet.

Huckleberry · « **Reply #29 on:** July 22, 2017, 06:45:35 PM »

ABL draft is complete. Somebody save the HTML of the selections page, please. Just in case.
