How to Host a Draft
Introduction
Welcome to the Fantasy Tribes Draft Guide. This document will help you, as a league manager, to successfully host a draft for your league. We would suggest using a video chat platform and/or a shared google sheet for easier cooperation between league members.
Step 1: Picking MVPs
Before the draft begins, each coach in the league must select two MVPs from the pool of castaways. Remember:
- MVPs will yield double the points for their respective coaches.
- Coaches cannot draft their own MVPs. Once an MVP is chosen, they are locked to that coach.
- These MVP picks will stay anonymous during the draft unless the coach decides they want to tell everyone.
Step 2: Setting the Draft Order
After all MVPs have been selected, the league manager needs to randomize or manually set the draft order. The draft order must be announced to all league members.
Note: The draft follows a snake format. If you pick first in the first round, you will pick last in the second round, and so on.
Step 3: Determining the Number of Copies
The number of copies of each draftable castaways varies depending on the size of your league. Important: You can never have more coaches than castaways in a season.
Below is a table displaying the number of copies of castaways required for different league sizes based on the number of coaches playing.
Table: Copies Needed Based on Number of Coaches
| Number of Coaches | Number of Copies Needed |
|---|---|
| 1-4 | 1 |
| 5-9 | 2 |
| 10-13 | 3 |
| 14-18 | 4 |
| 19-22 | 5 |
Step 4: Starting the Draft
Once the draft order is announced, the draft may begin. The league manager will go through the draft order and ask each coach who they would like to select. Each coach has 1-2 minutes to make their selection, depending on the time limit set by the league manager. There should be some sort of display for all of the coaches, or all of the coaches should keep track of how many copies of each player are left.
Conclusion
Hosting a draft is a key part of the Fantasy Tribes experience. With the guidance provided in this document, you are now equipped to manage your league’s draft efficiently and effectively. Good luck, and may the best coach win!
P.S. Be sure to remind the coaches in your league to make their Edgic picks the week of the merge (after everyone has their buffs) and their Finale picks the week of the finale.
