I was playing with DD this weekend, and I thought if I did a ADP draft for my league, I could use the draft results to tweak the ADP numbers a little bit. That way, they'd be more specific to my league's size and lineup requirements.
- In the general tab, select "Draft Other Teams by ADP"
- In the team names tab, DESELECT the "My Team" checkbox.
- Click OK.
When I did this, I got a runtime error. I'm sure I'm going beyond the original design of this thing, but I thought this would be cool feature to have. At the very least, Bruce, could you give a high-level view of the ADP draft algorithm (it's a combo of ADP and need, obviously, but that's about all I can discern)? This way, I could do the same thing manually with some amount of accuracy.

Actually you should be able to deselect the team. I'll fix this and get it in the next release.
On the draft by ADP... it essentially goes through and finds the lowest ADP for each position. Last years version, would then just select the lowest ADP value for the team on the clock... but then one team might end up with 3 quarterbacks in the first 5 rounds or something crazy like that... This year I factored in the team needs as well so that it looks at starters and primary backups too and fills the other teams more consistently. I also make sure that I fill the minimum requirements (the minimum requirements wasn't working correctly in the 6.0a version... but it should in future versions).
