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.

Yes, going to try to roll back IBL picks. Nobody make any picks right now.
Title: Re: 2109 Amateur Drafts

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.

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

Who wants to help out?

Everybody register with our Slack site here:

Then go here and log in using slack:

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.

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

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

Post by: Huckleberry 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.
Title: Re: 2109 Amateur Drafts
Post by: Txhorns on July 21, 2017, 10:44:27 AM
I can see both drafts and was able to make a pick.
Title: Re: 2109 Amateur Drafts
Post by: Huckleberry 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.

Can I keep that pick?  He is far better than anything in the IBL draft pool.
Title: Re: 2109 Amateur Drafts
Post by: Huckleberry 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.
Title: Re: 2109 Amateur Drafts

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

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.

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