  • Your Live Drafts: How do you do your draft board?

    So I have been thinking of a way to try and improve our live in person draft board for this years draft. We run a 12 team h2h league, and over the past 6 years all we have really done is taken 4 white Bristol boards, drew some lines that could be passed off as a 1st graders, and basically just wrote our picks up on the board. A lot of the time we'd have to walk up and ask "who the hell is this" because of the bad penmanship. We run a good league, but when it comes to the draft board, it's always a last minute MacGyver project. So year I would like to put together something more organized. I have looked around the web and found a lot of customizable/reusable draft boards complete with labels etc...

    My question is, what do you guys use?

    Thanks,

    Projector for us - we use someone's training room in an office

      2 leagues, one uses a projector with the Rotolab commissioner's window projector, the other is every man for himself, no common board.
      Badges? We don't need no stinkin' badges!

        Doesn't CBS give a free draft board with labels when you pay for their site? I know they do that for football, I forget if they do that for baseball.

          projector and Google Docs.
          In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby.

            My 14 team league uses the white poster board (2 teams per board) and black markers for our live auction. If you don't have good penmanship, we kick you out of the league.

                      I would like to do an auction league. It would have to be a new league since this one (Keeper league of 5 or 6 years) wants to keep it how it is, with tweaks here and there. We've all been in the same Baseball and Football league together for a long time, and they seem to like it the way it is.

                        The commissioner, who is also a teacher has the worst penmanship. Sometimes I wonder how the hell the kids learn anything written on the black/white board with his writing.

                          Projectors sound like a great idea. We're still stuck in old school ways. I don't think any of us can afford a projector. It's fun also to rip on someone after they go up, write their pick and announce their players.

                              For my local auctions, I am the commissioner and I just print out a piece of paper for each team with their keepers and tape those to a wall in the draft room Then I give each team a different team to track and they update the wall for that team as well. It's a very old league and this is how it was done when I joined. It works pretty well but most teams have laptops and don't really need it anymore. We keep doing it cause it's a good way to make sure everyone is on the same page as to how much each player was bought for.
                              I'm unconsoled I'm lonely, I am so much better than I used to be.
