  • 1987 Amateur Draft Rules and Info

    The draft will start Thursday June 11 at 9pm ET.

    Please look at the utility to make sure all traded picks are correct.

    Please don't draft the players named "Sandwich Round". These are dummy players I created to fill the Sandwich Round slots and will be deleted after the draft.

    Pick Time Limits:
    1st Round & Sandwich: 8 hours
    2nd Round & Sandwich: 4 hours
    Remaining Rounds: 2 hours

    Managers who go over their time limit will be placed on Autopick until they return.

    The draft clock runs between 8 am and 12 midnight ET. The utility will not autopick for you if you go over your time. I have to do it manually so please make use of the preference list to avoid going over the time limit and delaying the draft. Let me know if you have any questions on how to use the utility.

    Preference List Usage

    - To add players to your Preference List click the check box next to their name and click the 'Add to List' button. You can then move players up and down the list or remove them using the provided buttons.

    Autopick preferences

    <!--[if !supportLists]--><!--[endif]-->- Auto Pick: Auto-pick a player. The auto-pick uses an algorithm to determine whom it thinks it the next best player. This has been modified for this version to actually fuzz the players. The Auto Pick feature will be nowhere near as effective as it was last year.

    <!--[if !supportLists]--><!--[endif]-->- Auto Pick by List: Will auto-pick a player using whoever is highest on the manager’s draft list. If no draft list exists for the manager, it will just auto-pick using the utility’s algorithm.

    - If both are selected, it defaults to 'Auto-draft using draft list'. If 'Auto-draft using draft list' is selected, and no players are in the draft list, no selection will be made and the manager will have to draft manually.

    Remember to click 'Save' after you make any changes to your draft preferences or player preference list.

      Andrew cut out a sim by simming ahead four extra days. That's why it starts a sim early.

            No, just been real busy with work and my move that I haven't spent any time looking at the draft class; I thought I would have time this weekend to make a deal or make my pick. I should have time after dinner and before my class tonight to spend some quality time with OOTP and be ready by 9am.

              I don't think it will take you long. 2 or 3 guys will jump off the page at you in 15 minutes. Now, that being said, you'll still have to decide if it's Pitcher or Position player... but the #1 overall tends to be a little easier. And you get 8 hours from the start... so technically you'll have until Thursday afternoon.

                But if you take that long, people will lose it.

                  Per Andrew's post the draft doesn't start until 9 PM Eastern so he should have until Friday afternoon at 1.

                      As long as the Auto pick works...I had some problems last draft. Reason being once again I will be out of town.

                      I was sailing the Pacific during the OSFL draft, now I'll be driving up it...I'm starting to see a pattern.

                        You sucking at life?

                        If you don't trust the Auto... send a list to Andrew (or me if Andrew doesn't want it). I know I wouldn't mind monitoring it for you if need be.

                          What were the problems with auto? Usually if it gets stuck we grab the top player from your list.

                            As long as the top player get's grabbed I'm good with it. I wasn't the only one I recall where if you had a list and it was set to Auto it just wouldn't pick it.
