| 1. | How do I Start My Live Draft?
Answer: To start a Live draft the owners must enter the Live Draft Room found either from the For Owners > Live Draft Room or the link on the For Owners > Draft screen. The timer will not begin, and therefore the draft, until the first selection is made. For an email draft the first pick must also be made by the first owner in order to begin the draft.
If the franchise that has the first pick is unable to make be involved in the draft it will be necessary for them to Pre-draft the first pick so that the draft can begin. That pre-draft pick will then be selected as soon as the Draft Start Date/Time has been reached. You will also need to have the Draft Timer turned on in order for this pick to be taken.

| 2. | Why can't I see some of the NFL Players in the draft list to pick?
Answer: The most common reasons for this are:
1. If the player is an NFL free agent, check the "Display NFL Free Agents" setting on the For Commissioners > Setup > Reports & Other Settings page - the default for that option is "No", preventing owners from picking up NFL free agents, but you can turn that to "Yes" if you'd like to allow owners in your league to pick up NFL free agents.
2. Does your league waiver rules indicate that a player should be "locked" when he is dropped from a roster for a period of time? If so, check the Reports > Players >Locked Players report, and you'll most likely see the players listed there, and if you're logged on as the league commissioner at the time, you'll be able to "unlock" those players.
3. The player is currently on a Roster. You can view the Reports > Franchise >Rosters report or use the Reports > Players >Player Search to enter the name of the player in question and view his current status.

| 3. | How do I Revert My Draft?
Answer: If your draft is currently in process (and does not state that the “Draft is Over” on the Draft Report) then you can revert the draft to any Round/Pick. Go to the For Commissioner > Setup > Revert Draft and choose the Round and the Pick that you wish to revert your draft to.

| 5. | How do I Change/Fix a Draft Pick?
Answer: For an Email Draft:
If this occurred at the prior pick then you can go to your For Commissioner > Setup > Revert Draft and revert the draft to the Round and Pick in which there was an error.
Alternately, if this happened at a previous round (and you have had several picks since that round) you would want to use the For Commissioner > Setup > Change Draft Pick screen to replace the player.
In a MFL Live Draft:
If this just happened at the prior pick then you can use your options as Commissioner on the Live Draft Page under Commissioner Controls to Undo Last Pick.
Alternately, if this occurred at a previous pick you can use the Change Pick option under the Commissioner Controls in the Live Draft Room. Please see the MFL Live Draft...How To for further details.

| 6. | The draft timer expired on someone. How can they make up their pick?
Answer: The preferred way to handle this is for the commissioner to use the Change Draft Pick screen to manually define the pick. The commissioner can also revert the draft using the Revert Draft screen, but this will undo any picks made after the expired pick (requiring the subsequent picks to be re-entered). When the pick gets made up, and what player can be selected, is strictly up to your league rules.
You may choose the "Allow the system to automatically pick a player for the owner based the highest-ranked available player according to rankings displayed on the ADP page " option on your General Draft & Timer Setup page.

| 8. | Why did the draft not automatically start when it was supposed to according to the League Calendar?
Answer: For a MFL Live Draft the timer will not automatically start running until the owner with the first pick either makes their pick or pre-drafts their pick. This allows all owners to be able to access the room by the start time and prevents any picks from being made prior to the time defined in the Setup > Draft Start Date/Time.
If you have had an owner try to make the first pick after the start time and they were not allowed, please check your League Calendar to ensure that you have defined the "Draft" start time and not a Custom Defined Event.

| 9. | We're in an email Draft and owners are not getting informed when a team picks and their turn is next - why?
Answer: Make sure that in the Franchise Setup - Contact Info owners have chosen to receive "Draft Status Updates" for emails.
Also make sure that you have chosen an "Email Draft" and not an "MFL Live Draft" on the Setup > General League Setup screen.

| 10. | How do I Revert my “Completed” Draft?
Answer: Once your draft is complete it will be necessary to add an additional round so that you can revert your draft.
- Please go to your For Commissioner > Setup > Draft Order Setup - One Round. You will see a link for a round one more than your total draft rounds. Click this link and add one franchise to the Draft Order for this round. Be sure to save your changes.
- Now go to your For Commissioner > Setup > Revert Draft and you can choose to revert back to the Round and Pick of your choice.
- Enter back to your Draft Order Setup - One Round and remove the franchise in your last round. Again be sure to save your changes.
You will now be able to restart your draft.
