Hi All,
I thought it would be interesting to see where we're all from.
I'm from Connecticut, USA, 90 mins from both NYC and Boston.
Been playing since January once a week as a great change up from competitive racquetball 3x a week.
I hope to keep improving and I play with a terrific group of players from Argentina and elsewhere.
Glad to be part of this group.
Hi Guys,
I run a 33 year-old league that has always had a live in-person draft. While we've added some fresh, young blood, some if these guys aren't as mobile as they used to be. Thus, the need to get away from a paper draft board, getting up and down for picks and hunting for stickers.
Enter FanDraft, which I'd never heard of until I joined this forum. Since we had 3 guys that needed to draft remote I decided to pull the trigger and give it a go. My review below.
Setup - Easy to configure and invite owners to join. Had a couple questions on configuration, emailed them and received a very timely response.
Draft Day experience - On draft day there's always a hundred things to do once you arrive on site. Food & beverage setup, Wi-Fi, people arriving, etc. Well, I was just trying to get FanDraft set up, streamed to the host's new 100" tv, and get the 3 remote guys squared away.
Since this was our first time, no one knew how well it would really perform. Once I figured out the "Team on the Fly" option it was fantastic.
Everyone loved it. It probably saved an hour on the length of the draft. One owner literally said it, "breathed new life into the draft." The music, heckle options, visuals, etc.
Yeah, we paid $30 for it. Money well spent. Considering we pay only $99 for CBS to host out league we're still ahead of the game. And I'm not worried about having to manually input the rosters to CBS. That just gives me another chance to admire my roster.
Highly recommend FanDraft.
While my first time playing was in 1989 in my local bar, I started a league in 1993 based on the rules in the old Miller Lite Football Manual. I found one and thought I'd post some pics. Hope you guys enjoy them.
