Okay, my league requires that we START:

1 QB
1 RB
1 WR
1 TE
3 Flex (any combo of RB, WR, TE)
1 PK
3 IDPs

Based on this, what numbers should be in my min-max for QB, RB, WR, TE and Flex?

Thank you!!!

The Flex needs to be tweaked slightly to fill the teams correctly. It will be released in version 5.0c.

In the meantime, you need to figure out how you want your team to look. You are most likely going to want to start at least two RBs and three WRs since they are easier to come by than RBs. With this in mind, I'd set your Mins to QB=1, RB=2, WR=3, TE=1.

Now for your Maxs, you need to start with how many rosters spots you have and work backwards and figure out how many backups you want for each position. Ignoring IDP for now, lets say you have 14 roster spots. In this case it makes since to set your Maxs to QB=2, RB=4, WR=5, TE=2, and PK=1, giving you a backup QB, 2 backup RBs, 2 backup WRs, and a backup TE... And the total Maxs equals your 14 roster spots.

Bruce,

I have the same roster requirements as this guys does...and I read your response, but in this situation, what should the FLEX be set to? My mocks are still not coming out right.

Right now if you have your min set at QB=1, RB=1, WR=1, TE=1, and Flex=3... then the Flex Calculations are RB=2.3, WR=2.7 and TE=1.

Currently version 5.0b does not fill the Flex positions correctly. So in the meantime, I'd set min QB=1, RB=2.3, WR=2.7, and TE=1... and set Flex=0. This is essentially doing the same thing as if Flex was set to 3.

Now set your maxs to how many of each position you want on your team... this should be equal to or greater than your total number of roster spots. Reasonable maxs would be QB=3, RB=5, WR=6, TE=2... but it depends on how many total rosters spots you have...

I have noticed when you do this that is does not account for your keepers....I have 4 keepers and I had entered them in as the first 4 rounds of everyone's draft...so essentialy, we are starting with pick 5.1. I tried this with 16 rounds and with 20 rounds and both times, the keepers dissapear and don't factor into the mock draft. I may be doing something wrong...but I am not sure...

The keepers should count... Are they listed in the Team Stats? If so, they are being counted in.

Where/Why do you think that they are not being counted in?

They are not listed in the team stats, and they disappear from each individuals team list. Each teams list starts with the pick in the 5th round (because I entered the keepers in the first 4 rds). The keepers on each team actually disappear right after I change the setup. They are, however, still listed as being entered under the keeper tab at the top.

Yea... it looks like if you enter keeper information... and then go into Setup and change the Number of Teams that it resets the Team Stats window and Team Data Window... but not the Keeper Window....


I'm looking at how to best handle this...

Just thinking out loud here... Is there a good reason to change the Number of Teams after entering the Keepers?

It also looks like if you enter keeper information... and then go into Setup and change change the IDP Starters to something other than zero (or zero them all out if they were set)... that it clears the Teams Stats and Team data too...


Right now it looks like your best alternative is to Exit the Draft Dominator, then restart it. Click File->Setup and set your Number of Teams and Starters the way you want them. Click OK, and then enter you Keeper Information again. (You can override the Round/Pick by setting it to zero and then it doesn't count against a round/pick.) This way you can start the draft in round 1 too.

Then once you get your keepers the way you want, be sure to save the league and give it a name.

ok, I will try this tomorrow when I get a chance....thanks for looking at it.

By the way...I never changed the number of teams, I only changed the Min/Max starters like you suggested. I did, however, change the IDP's from min = 1 max =3 ( With the exception of DL) to zeros. Maybe this had something to do with it as you suggested.

I will try this tomorrow to see how it goes. Thanks Bruce!

OK, this sort of worked....but it is just too hard to get a true mock when you can't figure in the IDP's and the flex spots are so tough to calculate. I will just keep tweeking.
