Set the league up
Teams, budget, roster shape, and the master list everyone drafts from. Takes about a minute and you only do it once.
Every league keeps its own teams, budget, roster shape and draft board.

The auction board that builds itself around your league — then keeps every manager's budget honest while the bidding runs.
Start by setting the league up — everything below drives the draft board.
What the league is called, how many teams, the budget, and what each manager is called.
Used for the projected standings — it decides which set of season projections the table runs on.
Starters, bench and IR. Set anything to 0 to drop it entirely.

An auction board does two jobs: keep an honest record of who bought whom, and stop anyone bidding money they can't actually spend. Everything below serves one of those two.
Teams, budget, roster shape, and the master list everyone drafts from. Takes about a minute and you only do it once.
Type the player, type the price. The money math and the big board update themselves after every pick.
One link puts the live board on every manager's phone. They watch; only you can change anything.
One card per manager. Everything you need mid-auction is on it.
Every roster spot has to be filled and nobody costs less than $1. So a dollar is quietly held back for every spot you still have to buy — and the max bid is what's left after that.
$200 budget · 16 roster spots · nothing drafted yet
…and after that player is paid for
$15 left, 15 spots still to buy — so the max bid is now exactly $1, and the budget lands on zero with a full roster. That is the proof $185 was the true ceiling.
Red before you're broke. If the money left ever drops below the number of spots you still have to buy, the bar pins red and max bid reads $0 — that means the roster can no longer be filled, not merely that things are tight.
Boards disagree — hard. Pick the one your league drafts from, and every number in the app follows it: the big board, the search order, the rank beside each pick, and the sheet you print.
Nominating someone off the board. The ranked lists stop at 300, but the search doesn't: every one of the 1,995 draftable players in the league is in there. Type two letters of a handcuff, a rookie, a kicker nobody ranked, and he appears under a divider marked everyone else in the NFL, below the ranked players so he never gets in their way. He arrives with his real team, position and bye, so the wrong-slot warning, the duplicate check and the projected standings all treat him like anybody else — he simply has no rank, because no board gave him one.
⤢ Fit all — every roster on one screen, rows even. Best when you want to see who still has money.
Click a team — that roster on its own, with ‹ › to step through the league. Escape backs out. This is the one that works on a phone.
And lose the browser while you're at it. ⛶ Full screen next to Fit all hands the whole monitor to the board — no tabs, no address bar, which is worth a roster row or two on draft night. F11 (⌃⌘F on a Mac) does the same, and the button is on the shared link too, so the league can do it without knowing the shortcut.
Press 📈 Standings and a table appears under the auction bar ranking every team on the best starting lineup it could field right now. It re-sorts after every sale, so the room can watch a manager slide four places for spending $70 on a third running back.
On the board — one line, always current, and viewers on the share link see it too.
Best legal lineup — starters only, flex filled optimally. Empty slots score zero, so a half-built roster ranks last by design.
Set the scoring on the setup screen. PPR, half PPR or standard picks which set of season projections the table runs on — it changes nothing else about the draft. Full table with every team's lineup lives on the League summary tab.
What they actually see. Nobody can type into the shared link, so it doesn't pretend to be a form: it opens zoomed out on the whole league with the projected standings on, rosters read as plain rows, and under the rosters sit the last five sold, the best players still on the board, and how far along the money is — the teams come first, so the whole league is on screen the moment the page opens. Any of them can still tap a team to open one roster, or flip to Full size — their toggles are their own and never touch your board.
Every keystroke is saved locally. Close the tab, crash, reboot — nothing is lost.
Point Save at a file in OneDrive or Dropbox and every pick syncs off the machine within seconds.
While sharing is on, the board lands on the server within two seconds of every pick — the only copy that survives your computer dying.
Draft-night habit: turn sharing on even if you send nobody the link. It doubles as the backup, and the recovery link is what turns that backup into a board you can keep running.
Everything saves as you go. There is no submit button and nothing to lose by experimenting — make a throwaway league and poke at it.
