Draft Board Software? (1 Viewer)

[Mene]

I'm finally going to take my home league from a paper board/labels to a software draft board. Fandraft is the only one I am at all familiar with, would they be the best choice, or do any of you have another recommendation? I dl'd the trial version of Fandraft, seems perfectly fine... but I wanted to check with the shark pool to make sure I wasn't missing something better before I made the purchase.

TIA

Hard boards 4 life. I just can't break away from the tradition.

Clickydraft?

I'm also interested. How is FanDraft? Anyone use it? Like it/Hate It?

We go cheap and just use a Google Docs spreadsheet. It works great for our needs.

I tried Clickydraft and it seemed like it worked great except that our league has a fairly complex set up with keepers and traded draft picks which I couldn't find a way to make work. We ended up having to go the GoogleDocs route. If you have a traditional redraft Clickydraft seemed to be a good product. Even a less complex keeper league could probably make it work.

Ive used fan draft for years. Works great and is relatively simple.

Only issue this year was it was slow loading between rounds. Not sure if.it was the program or me running dd and mfl live draft at the same time.

I tried the import feature once and it didnt work for me. It was also difficult trading keepers and picks.so we didnt bother.

So the import to Mfl didn't work as advertised?

I have used fan draft for the past 2 years and love it. I have been able to import rosters to MFL with no problem and in seconds.

We just have the MFL draft board on the big screen TV.

I tried it years ago and it didnt. But I havent tried it again. Just use the online draft from mfl. Its one extra step but all rosters are in when the last pick gets made

MFLs presentation is pathetic. I'm looking to jazz it up a bit this year and fandraft looks like just the tool. Wanted to get some opinions before I dropped $35 on it though.

We switched from paper draft boards to software this season, used FanDraft for multiple leagues both snake and auction and it worked flawlessly. MFL uploads worked too, just enter the league number and commish pw and it loaded the rosters in seconds, saved me a ton of time. Highly recommended.

We just have the MFL draft board on the big screen TV.

This is what I'm leaning toward. Is there any way to remove their list or ADP's if I didn't want it displayed?

Anyone?

I've decided to do something similar, with MS Excel and an HDMI splitter. I decided that it's just a bit more typing, but there is no recurring cost, and will functionally provide the same thing. We have an owner or two who can't attend every year, so I have the MFL live draft window running during our draft anyways, which negates the MFL import advantage that Fandraft gives.

Fandraft for the past 5 years. Works great and is fun! I like how you can add logos/pics of the teams, music, sounds, etc....

And what everyone else said about Fandraft thus far.

If you go to Reports-->League-->Draft it will take you to the live draft page. Towards the top of the page you can select "Grid Format", it only shows the draft board.
